Hot Spots

One of my close friends strongly recommended me to try an escape room café since he knows that I like things related to horror. He said that it’s very popular in Korea among young crowd and it sounded very interesting. I tried to locate one of them near my house and visited the website. And I realized that it wasn’t easy to get real pictures on the internet because photography is strictly prohibited.

 

The one that I plan to visit is located near Konkuk University Station, the green line and I could take some screen shots with permission. Basically you’re going to have to choose one challenge and make a reservation. They have 8 different themes and some are very scary. Once you get in, you have to start following the clues as much as you can and solve the puzzles to escape the room within 60 minutes. Sounds very interesting, right?

 

 

Unfortunately, their service doesn’t provide English so I would suggest you should bring someone to help you with this challenge. I can tell that it won’t be easy to escape the room if you go by yourself. There should be at least 2 or 3 if possible so you can work together.

 

 

The Notice says, firstly you should be there at least 10 mins before the time and get some guidelines. You shouldn’t share the info with someone that hasn’t experienced the challenge yet. No photos allowed and you shouldn’t carry dangerous items inside such as lighters, knives and etc.

 

 

Like I stated above, they provide 8 different challenges with different stories and Story 3 and 5 are the most tempting ones to me. Because they’re the scary ones.

 

 

They charge you differently based on the total number of participants. If there’s 2 people, they charge you 22,000 KRW for each, total 44,000. If there’s 3 people, it should be 20,000 KRW for each. And they can accept 6 people maximum with 18,000 KRW for each.

 

I know some people don’t like scary things and some of you might not like to be stuck in one place. What I can tell you is that this can be a very unique and different experience to most people including me. And if you’re a big fan of horror movies or horror games, it’s definitely worth trying this challenge.
