Escape Room in Cheongju That Even Kindergarteners Can Enjoy! Real World Rooms Family Experience Review
Hello. :)
Do you often wonder where to go with your child on weekends?
Kids cafes get a bit tedious from visiting so often,
Movie theaters make you worry about whether your child can focus until the end,
And it's not easy to find a suitable place even if you want to provide a different experience.
I had similar concerns, but recently I visited Real World Cheongju located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After experiencing it firsthand, my thoughts on "escape rooms being a difficult game for adults only" completely changed.
From easy themes that kindergarteners can enjoy without burden to content that elementary school students can enjoy with a bit more active deduction, a variety of options are available, making it a satisfying place for family outings.
Today, I'll introduce you to Real World's open-type escape room Rooms, which is great to visit with your child.
Real World Located on the 3rd Floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju
Real World Cheongju is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
Since it's inside a shopping mall, it's great to have meals or shop after finishing the experience, and you can also take a break at a cafe.
Most importantly, since it's an indoor space, you can visit without worrying about the weather on rainy days, hot summers, or cold winters, which was a huge advantage.
When going out with children, movement flow and weather are important, but since you can handle both the experience and meals in one space, it works well as a day-long family outing course.
What kind of escape room is Real World Rooms?
Real World's Rooms operates in a slightly different way than typical escape rooms.
Instead of entering a narrow room and solving problems within a limited time, it's an open-type escape room where you freely move around a spacious setting to find clues and complete missions.
Children directly explore the space, find hidden clues, and follow the story.
Since it progresses like a treasure hunt or adventure, even young children could quickly become immersed.
Most importantly, various difficulty levels are available by theme, so you can choose based on your child's age or escape room experience, which was great.
Think of it as experiential content that families from kindergarteners to elementary students to adults can participate in together.
Themes recommended for kindergarteners
If you're visiting Real World with your child for the first time, I recommend starting with a relatively easy theme.
Boom Boom AS Center
This theme features problems that are easy for kindergarteners to understand and an intuitive progression.
Rather than complex deduction, there's fun in exploring different areas of the space and finding clues, making it great for young children to enjoy.
It was well-suited content for a child experiencing escape rooms for the first time to start light.
Catch! Tinypings: My Heart's Rainbow
If your child likes Tinypings, this is a theme I particularly recommend.
Since it involves moving around the space to find Tinypings and solve missions, you can feel like you're on a treasure hunt.
Both themes have the advantage of:
Problems that can be understood intuitively
The fun of exploring space and finding clues
A story that's easy for young children to understand
A progression that allows cooperation with parents
Parents just need to help a little from the side and children can discover hints themselves, solve problems, and play independently.
The fun of seeing them excited saying "I found it!" was also rewarding.
Themes recommended for lower elementary school students
For lower elementary school students, there's plenty to enjoy with content that requires a bit more thinking to solve.
Hachoo Signal
This theme is great for lower elementary school children to enjoy because the process of following the story, finding clues, and solving problems is not difficult.
Red Flavor White Flavor Strange Flavor
Within an easy-to-understand story, there are problems of moderate difficulty, allowing children to experience the fun of thinking for themselves and finding the answers.
To summarize the characteristics of recommended lower elementary themes:
A moderate level of difficulty that's not too hard
An easy-to-understand story
Problem composition that children can solve directly
Missions that utilize observation and concentration skills
Parents don't solve all the problems instead; children can proceed by thinking themselves, which was even more satisfying.
After finishing the game, I also remember them feeling proud saying "I solved it all!"
Themes recommended for upper elementary school students
For children who want to enjoy more story and deduction elements, I recommend Pumpkin Head Jack.
Pumpkin Head Jack
This is content that proceeds with the setting of receiving work rules and then starting work at a mystery hotel.
Beyond simply exploring the space, you connect clues and solve problems while thinking about the flow of events.
It seemed like upper elementary school students could enjoy it with deeper immersion in the story.
Especially:
An engaging story
Enhanced deduction elements
The process of thinking while connecting clues
The sense of accomplishment felt when solving problems
This was a captivating theme.
It works well for children who want to experience escape rooms with a bit more difficulty.
An Experience Not Just for Children, but Parents Too!
The reason Real World was great as a family experience place is because it's not just children playing games while parents wait.
Parents and children can move around the space together, find clues, and solve missions, which naturally leads to more conversation.
When the child discovers a clue first, you think about the answer together, and in difficult parts, parents provide small hints while cooperating.
While doing an unusual activity together that's difficult to do normally, it naturally created time for the family to communicate.
I particularly liked that it's not just simple play, but parents and children solving one goal together.
Reasons to Recommend Real World as a Family Experience
After experiencing it myself, it definitely had a different charm compared to typical escape rooms.
Themes can be selected by age from kindergarteners to elementary school students
Content that even young children can easily participate in
An experience where parents and children enjoy cooperating together
An open-type format where you freely move around a spacious area
The sense of accomplishment children feel from solving problems directly
A clean indoor space that can be used regardless of weather
A location where you can also enjoy shopping and dining after the experience
Especially if visiting kids cafes every time felt a bit boring, it seemed like a great place to visit once as a different kind of family experience.
If you're looking for a place to visit with your child in Cheongju
While it's easy to think escape rooms are difficult and only enjoyable for adults, Real World Rooms has diverse age-appropriate content, making it great to enjoy with your child.
Kindergarteners can explore spaces like a treasure hunt with easy themes, and elementary students can naturally feel a sense of accomplishment while directly connecting clues and solving problems.
A big advantage is that parents don't just watch from the side but can also enjoy the game by cooperating together.
