235.8M 2021-03-10

Insadong-gil 12, Jongno-gu, Seúl

Dynamic Maze es una atracción muy divertida recomendada para aquellos que gustan mirar programas de variedades coreanos. Este lugar en particular apareció en el popular programa ‘Running Man’.

Para disfrutar a pleno de su tiempo en el laberinto, asegúrese de guardar todos sus artículos personales (móvil, cámaras, etc.) en un casillero antes de entrar. Diseñado con el concepto de "escapar del laberinto en la ciudad", Dynamic Maze ofrece 16 misiones únicas para cumplir. Las reglas del juego son bastante simples: una vez que entre por las fauces del haechi (animal mitológico coreano), se le irán presentando las misiones de una en una. Deberá encontrar el camino correcto a través de un laberinto de espejos, trepar muros usando una cuerda, gritar por encima de los 100 decibeles y más. El tiempo necesario para cumplir las misiones varía según el grupo, pero el promedio ronda entre 35 y 50 minutos.

Consejo) Dynamic Maze se visita en equipos de al menos dos personas, y el horario de inicio se establece en base al orden de llegada de los participantes. Una vez ingresado un equipo, el siguiente recién podrá hacerlo 10 minutos después, por lo que si la lista de espera se completa para esa tarde, no podrá realizar la experiencia. Ya que las actividades de las misiones exigen mucho movimiento, tanto varones como mujeres deben vestir pantalones.
