Hello. :)
On weekends, do you wonder where to go with your child?
Kids cafes are frequently visited and become a bit boring,
Movie theaters worry you whether your child can concentrate until the end,
Even if you want to provide a unique experience, it's not easy to find a suitable place.
I also had similar concerns, but recently visited Real World Cheongju Branch, located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
After experiencing it firsthand, my perception that "escape rooms are difficult games for adults" changed completely.
Children can participate joyfully, and parents can work together to find clues and solve missions, naturally cooperating, making it a truly satisfying family experience space.
Today, I'll introduce you to Real World's open-concept escape room Rooms, which is great to visit with children in Cheongju.
Connect Hyundai Cheongju 3rd Floor, Real World
Real World Cheongju Branch is located on the 3rd floor of Connect Hyundai Cheongju.
It was really convenient being inside a shopping mall so that you can enjoy meals, shopping, and cafes before and after the experience.
Most importantly, being located indoors, it was a great advantage that you could visit without worrying about the weather, even on rainy days, hot summers, or cold winters.
When going out with children, weather and traffic flow are important, and since you can enjoy the experience and meals in one building, it was less burdensome as a family outing course.
What kind of experience is Real World Rooms?
Real World's Rooms operates in a slightly different way from typical escape rooms.
Instead of being locked in a narrow room and solving problems within a time limit, it's an open-concept escape room content where you freely move through a spaciously decorated space to find clues and solve missions.
Children walk around the space finding hidden clues and following the story.
It was impressive to see even young children quickly become immersed, as they could explore here and there as if they were embarking on an adventure themselves.
There's less of a claustrophobic feeling, and various themes are prepared by age group so you can choose according to your child's age and level, which was also nice.
You can think of it as family-oriented experiential content that can be enjoyed together from kindergarteners to elementary students to adults.
Themes Recommended for Kindergarteners
If visiting for the first time with your child, I recommend starting with relatively easy themes.
Oops! A/S Center
Missions are conducted in a way that's easy for young children to understand, making it a theme well-suited for children experiencing escape rooms for the first time.
Rather than complex reasoning, you can focus on the fun of examining the space and finding clues, so you can enjoy it without pressure.
Catch! Tinypingting: Rainbow of My Heart
If your child likes Tinypingting, this is content they'll find particularly interesting.
Since missions are solved by searching for Tinypingting, it's fun like a treasure hunt.
Both themes share:
Intuitive problem structure
Fun of exploring spaces like a treasure hunt
Easy-to-understand story
Progression style that allows cooperation with parents
These were the features.
What was really nice was that with just a little help from parents, children could lead their own play by finding clues and solving problems themselves.
There was also fun in seeing children feel proud after finding the correct answer on their own.
Recommended Themes for Elementary School Lower Grades
If your child is in lower elementary grades, it's worth challenging themes that require more thinking.
Hachoo Signal
Following the story and naturally solving problems makes it great content for lower elementary school children to enjoy.
Red Flavor White Flavor Strange Flavor
The story is not difficult to understand, and additional problems that children can think through and solve themselves provide a good sense of achievement.
The characteristics of recommended themes for lower elementary grades are:
Appropriate difficulty level
Easy-to-understand story
Structure that allows children to solve problems themselves
Missions that utilize observation and concentration
Rather than parents solving all problems for them, it was a more meaningful experience as children could think through and find answers themselves.
After finishing the game, seeing children proudly say "I solved it all!" would surely feel rewarding from a parent's perspective.
Recommended Themes for Elementary School Upper Grades
For children who prefer to immerse themselves more in reasoning and storytelling, I recommend Pumpkin Head Jack.
Pumpkin Head Jack
It's content that proceeds with the setting of receiving work rules and starting work at a mystery hotel.
The process of finding clues and solving mysteries flows naturally, and the fun of becoming immersed in the story is quite high.
Rather than just finding answers, you must connect previously confirmed information with new clues and think critically, so it seemed especially well-suited for upper elementary school children.
Especially:
The fun of becoming immersed in the story
Structure with added reasoning elements
The process of thinking while connecting clues
The sense of achievement from solving problems
Can be experienced together, so I recommend it for children who want slightly more challenging content.
What I like most is that parents and children can enjoy it together
After experiencing Real World firsthand, it definitely had a different charm compared to typical escape rooms.
What was especially nice was that it's not a style where children play alone while parents wait, but rather parents and children can participate together.
When children discover clues, parents discuss them together, and they naturally cooperate by giving small hints at difficult parts.
During this process, there's more conversation than usual, and special memories can be created by solving problems together.
What was impressive was that beyond just a place to play, it naturally creates time for family members to talk and cooperate together.
Reasons for Recommending Real World
Summarizing the reasons it's good to visit with children:
Age-appropriate theme selection from kindergarteners to elementary students
Beginners can participate without pressure
Experience of parent-child cooperation
Open-concept style that allows free movement through spaces
Structure that allows leisurely mission solving
Pleasant indoor space usable regardless of weather
Location where you can enjoy shopping and dining all at once
In particular, I thought it was a place well-suited for families who want to experience something different from kids cafes.
