Hello. :)
Every weekend, you wonder where to go with your child, right?
Kids cafes get boring since we go so often,
And there's worry about whether your child can concentrate through an entire movie at the cinema,
And even though you want to provide a unique experience, it's not easy to find a suitable place.
I also always had similar concerns, but recently I visited Real World Cheongju, located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After experiencing it firsthand, my belief that "escape rooms are a difficult game for adults" completely changed.
Children can participate happily, and parents can also naturally collaborate by finding clues and solving missions together, making it a truly satisfying family experience space.
Today, I'll introduce you to Real World's open-format escape room Rooms, which is great to visit with your child in Cheongju.
Connect Hyundai Cheongju 3rd Floor, Real World
Real World Cheongju is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
It was really convenient that being inside a shopping mall meant we could enjoy meals, shopping, and cafes before and after the experience.
Most importantly, being located indoors was a big advantage because we could visit without worrying about the weather, whether on rainy days, hot summers, or cold winters.
When going out with children, the weather and travel route are important factors, but since we could complete both the experience and meal in one building, it wasn't burdensome as a family outing.
What kind of experience is Real World Rooms?
Real World's Rooms operates in a slightly different way from typical escape rooms.
Rather than being trapped in a narrow room and solving problems within a limited time, it's open-format escape room content where you move freely through spaciously designed areas, find clues, and solve missions.
Children move around the space, find hidden clues, and follow the story.
It was impressive how children became immersed so quickly, as if they were embarking on an adventure and exploring all around.
There wasn't much of a stuffy feeling, and various age-appropriate themes were prepared so you could choose according to your child's age and level, which was also nice.
You can think of it as family-oriented experience content that everyone from kindergarteners to elementary school students to adults can enjoy together.
Themes recommended for kindergarteners
If visiting for the first time with your child, I recommend starting with a theme with relatively easy difficulty.
Boom Boom AS Center
Missions are structured in a way that even young children can understand easily, making it perfect for children encountering escape rooms for the first time.
Rather than complex deduction, you can concentrate on the fun of exploring the space and finding clues, so you can enjoy it without burden.
Catch! Tiny Ping: The Rainbow in My Heart
This is particularly engaging content for children who love Tiny Ping.
Since you solve missions while searching for Tiny Ping, you can enjoy it like you're on a treasure hunt.
Both themes share these characteristics:
Intuitive problem structure
Fun exploring the space like a treasure hunt
Easy-to-understand story
Collaborative gameplay with parents
What was really nice was that with just a little help from parents, children could play actively by finding clues and solving problems themselves.
There was also the joy of seeing your child be satisfied after finding the answer on their own.
Recommended themes for lower elementary school students
If your child is in lower elementary school, it's worth challenging themes that require a bit more thinking.
Hatchu Signal
This content works well for lower elementary school children because they can naturally solve problems while following the story.
Red Taste White Taste Strange Taste
While the story is easy to understand, problems that children can think through and solve themselves are included, which is great for building a sense of achievement.
The characteristics of recommended themes for lower elementary students are:
Moderate difficulty level
Easy-to-understand story
Problems that children can solve on their own
Missions that utilize observation and concentration
Parents don't solve all the problems for them; instead children can think for themselves and find the answers, making it a more meaningful experience.
After finishing the game, seeing your child proudly say "I solved it all!" would surely feel satisfying for parents too.
Recommended themes for upper elementary school students
For children who like to immerse themselves more in deduction and story, I recommend Pumpkin Head Jack.
Pumpkin Head Jack
This content proceeds with the setting of receiving a work manual and starting work at a mystery hotel.
The process of finding clues and solving the case flowed naturally, and the fun of immersing in the story was quite high.
Since you don't just find the answer but must connect previously confirmed information with new clues to think through it, it seemed particularly well-suited for upper elementary school children.
Especially:
The fun of immersing in the story
A structure with added deduction elements
The process of thinking while connecting clues
The sense of achievement when solving problems
You can experience all of these together, so I recommend it for children who want slightly more challenging content.
The best thing is that parents and children can enjoy it together
After experiencing Real World firsthand, it definitely had a different charm from typical escape rooms.
What I really liked was that it wasn't a way where the child plays alone and the parent waits, but rather where parents and children can participate together.
When a child discovers a clue, parents discuss it together, and when there are difficult parts, they give small hints and naturally collaborate.
In that process, we had more conversation than usual and created special memories while solving problems together.
What was impressive was that beyond just being a play space, it naturally created time for families to talk and collaborate together.
Why I recommend Real World
To summarize the reasons why it's good to visit with your child:
Age-appropriate theme selection available from kindergarteners to elementary students
Even children new to escape rooms can participate comfortably
Experience of parents and children collaborating together
Open-format way to enjoy by freely moving around the space
A structure that allows for solving missions at a leisurely pace
A clean indoor space that can be used regardless of weather
A location where you can enjoy shopping and dining all at once
In particular, I felt it was a perfect place for families who want to experience something different from kids cafes.
