Hello. :)
Every weekend, I seem to have the same dilemma.
"Where should we go today?"
I often look for special places, but I end up choosing familiar courses like cafes or movie theaters.
So this time, I wanted to spend time a bit differently than usual and visited RealWorld Cheongju, located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After experiencing it firsthand, it was a space where you could have a good time regardless of who you visited with—whether it was a couple's date, a gathering with friends, or a family outing.
I'll introduce it in detail for those of you looking for unique indoor entertainment in Cheongju.
Popular experiences from Seoul's Seongsu-dong now in Cheongju too
RealWorld is a brand that has been loved as a unique experience space in Seongsu-dong, Seoul.
Now you can enjoy various contents at Connect Hyundai Cheongju as well, making it possible to have special experiences without traveling far.
I liked that it's close to the Cheongju Express Bus Terminal, making it convenient to visit by public transportation, and since it's located within Connect Hyundai, you can enjoy shopping and dining before and after the experience.
It was also a great place for an indoor date in Cheongju or a family outing since you can enjoy it in a comfortable indoor environment without worrying about the weather, whether it's a rainy day, hot summer, or cold winter.
Open-type content different from general escape rooms
When you think of escape rooms, you usually imagine entering a narrow space and solving problems within a time limit.
However, RealWorld operates in a slightly different way from traditional escape rooms.
It's open-type content where you freely move through spaces within a world called "Mystery Hotel," find clues, and continue the story.
Rather than being trapped in a single space, you explore multiple locations directly and solve missions, so there's little feeling of being confined, and you can feel an immersive sense of becoming the protagonist in the story.
What was impressive was that it's a structure that allows even those experiencing escape rooms for the first time to participate comfortably.
Three things I especially liked were:
Operation of content that can be used without reservations
Leisurely play without feeling rushed by time
A composition that beginners can easily participate in
Even if you don't have much experience with escape rooms, you can proceed slowly following the guidance, so it seemed to suit couples or family visitors well.
Same-day visits without reservations are also possible
Popular escape room cafes often require advance reservations, so it's not easy to fit schedules.
However, RealWorld also operates content that you can experience immediately after visiting on the same day, making it relatively easy to visit without burden.
It seems like a good choice when plans suddenly come up with friends or when you want to go out spontaneously on weekends.
Operating Hours
Daily 10:30 AM - 9:00 PM
Open year-round
Since the usage method may differ depending on the content, it's also good to check the desired program on the website before your visit.
Content you can enjoy at RealWorld Cheongju
① Rooms
Open-type escape room with free exploration
Rooms is RealWorld's signature content.
You explore throughout the Mystery Hotel using a smartphone app, find clues, and proceed by continuing the story.
Unlike traditional escape rooms where you solve problems while trapped in a narrow room, you can play while freely moving around, so you can experience a unique kind of fun.
The space is also decorated emotionally, making it nice to take photos while performing missions.
Every corner felt like a photo zone, and I thought it was content that would be especially suited to couples looking for unique dating spots in Cheongju.
② CLUE
Recommended if you like crime scenes and murder mysteries
If you enjoy mystery variety shows or murder mystery games, this is content you'll definitely want to experience.
When the game starts, all participants become characters in the incident, and they solve the incident based on the information and secrets given to each person.
The process of gathering clues through conversation with each other and deducing the culprit while analyzing each other's stories was really immersive.
I especially want to recommend this to the following people:
Those who enjoy deduction games
Those who enjoy role-playing and discussions
Those who want to have special experiences with friends
Couples looking for unique activities instead of typical dates
Even first-time participants can easily enjoy it by checking the progress method through a video guide.
③ BoomBoom Planet
A cooperative game using both brains and physical strength
BoomBoom Planet was the most active program among the three contents.
It's a cooperative game where you solve multiple missions within a time limit using buttons, floor panels, and location recognition sensors.
It's content where the fun grows as you progress in sync with 2 to 4 people.
You move your body more than expected, so you feel like you're exercising, and laughter doesn't stop during the process of dividing roles and timing with each other.
If you're looking for exciting indoor entertainment in Cheongju to enjoy with friends, this was the content I'd most recommend.
Why everyone from students to families can enjoy it
The biggest advantage of RealWorld Cheongju is that it's not a space only for a specific age group, but a place where diverse visitors can enjoy together.
Content that can be used without reservations
Easy-to-participate structure even for escape room beginners
Programs that anyone from kindergarteners to adults can enjoy
Experiences that friends, couples, and families can share
Emotional spaces and photo zones
Indoor content available regardless of season and weather
It seemed like satisfaction would be high since you can choose different content depending on who you visit with.
Couples can enjoy immersive dates through Rooms or CLUE, and if you're with friends, you can spend a lively time with BoomBoom Planet.
Families with children can also create fun memories by choosing content that fits their age and preferences.
A full-day course enjoying shopping and dining together
RealWorld is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After finishing the experience, you can dine or shop within the same building, and you can also leisurely finish the day at a cafe, making it great to plan as a full-day course.
It was convenient since you can take care of the experience, shopping, and dining all in one space without having to move to multiple locations separately.
It's a place I'd like to recommend to those looking for unique dating spots in Cheongju, those who want to create special memories with friends, and families looking for indoor outing places to enjoy with their children.
