Hello. :)
Do you like escape rooms?
Many people enjoy escape rooms frequently, but those trying it for the first time might have worried about this.
What if it's too difficult? Or what if I can't solve it all in time?
I had similar worries at first too.
After recently experiencing Rooms at Real World Cheongju, located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju, my thoughts about escape rooms completely changed.
Because it's conducted in a way different from traditional escape rooms, beginners could enjoy it without pressure, and I was able to have a special experience that went beyond simply solving problems and felt like directly exploring a story.
Today, I'm going to introduce my experience with Real World Rooms for those looking for a different kind of escape room in Cheongju.
Real World Connect Hyundai Cheongju
Real World is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
The great advantage was being inside a shopping mall, so you could enjoy meals, shopping, and cafes before and after the experience.
It was a good location to visit not only as a dating course but also as a place for gatherings with friends or family outings.

Escape room with no time limit?
Generally, escape rooms require you to solve all problems and escape within a set time, so even while enjoying the game, you keep checking the clock.
As time decreases, your mind becomes anxious, and in some cases, the burden of the time limit becomes greater than focusing on the problems.
However, Real World's Rooms was a bit different.
Without being rushed for time and being able to explore the space at your own pace and proceed with missions, I was able to enjoy it much more comfortably.
Especially, I thought it was a style that suited those trying escape rooms for the first time or those who wanted to solve problems slowly.
The Special Charm of Rooms
Unlike typical escape rooms where you're trapped in one space and solve problems, Real World Rooms is open-type content where you walk around a large space and follow a story.
Characteristics of Rooms
Free play without time limits
Progress by exploring large spaces
Perform missions while moving to various locations
Ability to leisurely take photos during the experience
A way to enjoy both game and space experience together
Rather than just focusing on finding answers, it felt like directly exploring inside a mystery hotel and completing a story.
I was even able to feel immersion as if I became the protagonist in a theme park solving a case.
Most importantly, the greatest advantage was that there was less pressure from time, allowing even beginners to participate without burden.
Recommended Themes Selected by Skill and Preference
Rooms has various themes with different difficulty levels and stories prepared.
You can enjoy it even more by selecting a theme that suits your experience with escape rooms or the people visiting together.
Recommended for Beginners
Johann Cattraux II's Invitation
This is the theme I'd recommend first if it's your first escape room.
Rather than solving complex puzzles consecutively, it's structured to naturally perform missions while following the story, which was great for beginners to enjoy.
Theme Characteristics
Moderate level problem difficulty
Easy-to-understand story
Intuitive progression method
Can participate without burden for beginners
Since it's a theme where even people worried about not being able to solve problems could start relatively comfortably, it seemed particularly well-suited for adult escape room beginners.
I recommend it for those who want to lightly experience how an escape room progresses.
Recommended for Couples Dating
Red Mere Mystery Hotel
If you visited with a partner, this is the content I'd like to recommend.
Players take on the role of a married couple and progress through a story investigating an incident at a hotel.
The process of sharing clues with each other, exchanging opinions, and getting closer to the truth of the incident was impressive.
Theme Characteristics
Content exclusive for 2 people
Cooperative play between two people is central
High immersion story
Twist that continues to the end
Since you need to share information that neither could know alone, conversation and cooperation naturally develop.
If you found ordinary cafe or movie theater dates boring, I'd like to recommend it as a unique dating course in Cheongju where you can create special memories.
Recommended for Escape Room Experts
The Moazarina Theft Case
If you have a lot of escape room experience and like challenging problems, this is a theme worth trying.
It progresses as a story of tracking down a thief and retrieving the famous work 'Moazarina' after it was stolen.
Theme Characteristics
Novel and diverse puzzle composition
High difficulty level
Strong deductive elements
Story progression that unfolds like a movie
Since it's not just solving puzzles but connecting multiple clues to deduce the flow of events, it's a theme that fits even better for those with escape room experience.
Not only the sense of achievement when solving problems, but I also wanted to recommend it to escape room enthusiasts because you can feel immersion as if you became the protagonist in the story.
A Space Where You Can Both Take Photos and Enjoy Games
Another charm of Real World Rooms is in the space itself.
The interior, decorated with a mystery hotel concept, is arranged like photo zones throughout, so I could naturally leave photos even in the middle of progressing through the game.
Generally, due to time limits, it's often difficult to take photos or slowly explore a space in typical escape rooms.
Because Rooms can be experienced relatively leisurely, I could appreciate the interior design and take photos with people I visited with while leaving memories.
The biggest difference from typical escape rooms was that it wasn't just an experience of solving problems and leaving, but being able to enjoy the game, story, space, and photography together.

A Full Day Course Enjoying Shopping and Dining
Real World is located inside Connect Hyundai Cheongju, so after the experience, you can enjoy shopping, dining, and cafes all in the same building.
Since you could spend a full day in one space without having to move to multiple locations, it was great for planning as a dating or outing course with friends.
I was also satisfied that you could use it without worrying about the weather on rainy days, hot summers, or cold winters.
After finishing the experience, I could leisurely dine and organize my day at a cafe, so it was also well-suited as an indoor dating or family outing course.
