Children are gathered in front of the robot sculpture.

Take out your smartphone and solve the quiz hidden in the robot.

"Nice, this is zero."

It's a mystery game where you look at webtoons and find hints hidden throughout the amusement park to solve the answer.

[Shin Chan-ju / Yongil Elementary School 6th grade: Webtoon and room escape game were combined and fun. It was fun because it was my first time doing something like this, and it was fun because it was a mystery form that I like.]

The place where the elements of the game Diablo 4 were added to the existing rides was crowded all day.

It vividly recreated the jungle, the main background of the game, and received a great response because you could explore it on a ride.

It is a game culture festival that parents and children can enjoy at the same time across generations.

Along with a camp where families participate together for two days and one night, various things to enjoy such as experience events, photo zones, and e-sports competitions have been prepared.

It was a place to confirm that games can be a channel of communication to break down solid walls between generations, not just entertainment.
