Hongdae Escape Rooms and Arcades 홍대 방탈출·오락실
Seoul · Hongdae, Yeonnam & Mangwon · Fun & activities
Hongdae is a major hub for indoor play, with many escape rooms and arcades packed into small buildings. Escape rooms give a team about an hour to solve puzzles and unlock a door, with themes such as detective, horror or fantasy. Many studios take reservations online or through messaging apps, and some offer English instructions or translated clue sheets, so ask when you book.
Prices vary by room and time slot, and many studios fill on weekends. Hours may change, and horror rooms may be unsuitable for children.
Hongik University Station (홍대입구역), Line 2, Exit 9, is the starting point. Most rooms are within a ten-minute walk.
