Hello. :)
Have you ever had this worry when the weekend comes around?
"Where should we go today?"
While you want to find new places, the ones that come to mind tend to be similar courses like cafes or movie theaters.
So this time, wanting to spend a rather different day, I visited RealWorld Cheongju, located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After experiencing it firsthand, I'd like to introduce it as a space where you can be satisfied with everything from couple dates to gatherings with friends and family outings.
Now enjoy Seoul's popular Seongsu-dong experiences in Cheongju too!
RealWorld is a brand that has received much love as a unique experiential space in Seoul's Seongsu-dong.
Now you can enjoy various content at Connect Hyundai Cheongju, so you can experience something special without traveling far.
It's close to Cheongju Express Bus Terminal, making it convenient to visit by public transportation, and being located within Connect Hyundai means you can handle shopping and dining all at once - this was a major advantage.
You can comfortably enjoy it indoors even on rainy days, hot summers, and cold winters when weather easily affects your plans, making it even more satisfying.
Open-type experience different from traditional escape rooms
When you think of escape rooms, you naturally imagine solving problems in a narrow space within a limited time.
RealWorld operates in a slightly different way from traditional escape rooms.
It's an open-type experiential content where you freely explore spaces within the world of 'Mystery Hotel' and follow the story, so you can enjoy it without feeling confined.
It's not a form of being trapped in a room, but rather moving through spaces to find clues and continue the story, so even those new to escape rooms can participate without burden.
What I particularly liked was:
Content that can be visited without reservation
Able to play leisurely without rushing against time
An easy structure for even beginners to participate in
Same-day visits possible without reservation
Most popular escape room cafes require reservations.
However, RealWorld also operates content that can be experienced right after a same-day visit, so I could visit much more comfortably.
If you suddenly have plans with friends or want to go out impulsively on the weekend, it seems like a good choice too.
Operating Hours
Daily 10:30 ~ 21:00
Open year-round
① Rooms
Open-type escape room
This is RealWorld's signature content.
It operates by exploring throughout the Mystery Hotel using a smartphone app, finding clues and following the story.
Unlike traditional escape rooms where you stay in one space, you can play by freely moving around, allowing for a unique kind of fun. Thanks to the emotionally decorated space, it was also great for taking photos.
After experiencing it firsthand, I understood why so many people choose it as a date course.
② CLUE
Crime Scene · Murder Mystery Detective Game
This was content I really wanted to experience if you usually enjoy detective variety shows or murder mysteries.
All participants become characters in the incident and solve the case based on each person's information.
The process of gathering clues, talking with each other, and deducing the perpetrator was really immersive.
Especially if you're someone who:
Enjoys detective games
Enjoys role-playing
Is looking for unique experiences with friends
Then you'd likely enjoy it even more satisfyingly.
Even for first-time participants, it's easy to play since the video guide explains things kindly - this was another advantage.
③ BoomBoom Planet
A cooperative game using both brains and physical strength
This was the most active program among the three contents.
It's a cooperative game where you solve various missions within a time limit using buttons, foot pedals, and position recognition sensors.
The more 2 to 4 people cooperate together, the more fun it becomes.
You move more than expected, so it's also good exercise, and laughter didn't stop in the process of solving missions by coordinating with each other.
If you visit with friends, this was the content I most wanted to recommend.
A space anyone of any age can enjoy
The biggest appeal of RealWorld is that various age groups can enjoy it together.
✔ Content that can be visited without reservation
✔ Even escape room beginners can easily participate
✔ Various content for kindergarteners to adults
✔ An experience that friends, couples, and families can all enjoy together
✔ Emotional spaces and photo zones
✔ Indoor content to enjoy regardless of weather
Regardless of who you visit with, you could choose content that matches each person's taste, so satisfaction was high.
A great location to enjoy as a full-day course
RealWorld is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After the experience, you can handle everything from dining to shopping and cafes in the same building, making it great for spending a full and meaningful day.
It was a place I'd like to recommend to those planning an indoor date in Cheongju, those wanting to create special memories with friends, and those looking for indoor entertainment they can enjoy with family.
