Honestly, how many times have you been to an escape room cafe?
Unlocking locks, solving codes, and escaping within 60 minutes in a dark room—it's fun, but wasn't it also a bit disappointing?
The small space, the darkness, not being able to take your phone, that feeling of being trapped!
Content that will quench that thirst across the entire city is now opening in Busan.
The greatest offline escape room ever, and its stage is Busan!
An outdoor escape room with an upgraded scale is moving from its first location in Seongsu to its second in Busan!
The whole city becomes an escape room map — THE SCOUT in BUSAN
**THE SCOUT in BUSAN** is an outdoor immersive mission adventure taking place across the entire city of Busan from April 24th to May 5th, 2026.
While the term 'escape room' might be the most familiar, it's actually much bigger than that.
The story begins the moment you receive your mission kit at Busan Station. With your smartphone and the kit in hand, you'll travel through actual landmarks all over Busan, finding clues and completing missions.
Instead of just one room, the entire city of Busan is the game map.

It has an exceptional worldview from the start — Applying to the R.E.S. secret organization
This content is built upon a solid worldview.
R.E.S. (Realworld Exploration Syndicate)
A secret exploration organization that uncovers the real reality hidden around us.
It brings to mind the movie The Matrix.
The Busan branch of that organization, which moves silently, seeking clues to the truth that others have failed to discover, is recruiting new agents.
There's only one condition for employment: to grasp the reality of the mysterious rift phenomenon occurring in Busan.
The predecessor who tracked the rift vanished, leaving behind only a few pages of a report. You have just one day.
You must uncover Busan's secrets, armed with your predecessor's report and a rift compass.
The immersion was so intense that participants of Season 1, The Scout in Seongsu, left reviews such as "I felt like a real agent," and "It was on another level because the entire city was the stage."
The Busan episode is back, 200% scaled up compared to the peak season.

Why escape room enthusiasts absolutely must try this.
In the Korean escape room scene, the 'outdoor escape room' or 'city escape room' format has actually had severe quality variations in the past.
The Scout series is different.
Season 1, The Scout in Seongsu, proved its blockbuster success with tens of thousands of participants in the Seongsu-dong area,
and that entire worldview was upgraded and brought to Busan.
The developer, Realworld, has 4.2 million cumulative players, achieved a Guinness World Record,
and was selected for the 'Boldest 100' at Dubai GITEX.
The quality of the mission kit, the story continuity, and the sense of immersion
This is currently almost the only outdoor escape room in Korea that nails all three.
Limited early bird quantities are now on sale.
The 1st early bird price is 14,900 KRW (a 58% discount from the regular price of 35,900 KRW).
When the limited quantity is exhausted, it will change to the 2nd early bird price of 21,900 KRW.
Considering the 30,000 KRW giveaway benefit, now is actually the time you absolutely *must* buy.
