MapleStory Escape Opens in Hongdae Today — Regular Booking Starts at 10 AM
Opens Sept. 21 · Hongdae, Seoul · Reservation required · 2–6 players
MapleStory Escape, a new real-world escape-room venue built around Nexon’s MapleStory universe, officially opens today opposite Hongik University. Unlike a short-run Seoul pop-up, the venue is planned to stay open for roughly two years, through September 2028.
Two rooms launch first: Kerning City and Mu Lung Dojo. Three more MapleStory-inspired themes are scheduled to follow on Sept. 28, Oct. 5 and Oct. 12.
What travelers should know
- Opening date: Sept. 21, 2026
- Location: 90 Wausan-ro, Mapo-gu, directly by Hongik University’s main gate
- Nearest area: Hongdae; allow extra walking time from Hongik Univ. Station
- Booking: YES24; regular reservations open every Monday at 10 AM KST
- Group size: 2–6 players
- Opening rooms: Kerning City and Mu Lung Dojo
- Planned run: through Sept. 20, 2028
The first week also brings a “Kerning City in Hongdae” street event with MapleStory NPCs and mini-games around the neighborhood. For international visitors, the main friction point is booking: check YES24 availability and its payment/language requirements before making the trip rather than assuming walk-in entry.
Why go now? Opening week is the only moment when the launch of the physical venue and the Hongdae street activation overlap, making this more than a standard escape-room booking.
