Content studio gluee has won the Gold Prize at the 7th Public Works Use Case Contest with the nine mini games from its experience exhibition ‘THE BOARD : Excavation Squad’.

The entry was the nine mini games gluee developed in-house for the Excavation Squad exhibition. Each is based on an artifact from the Three Kingdoms period and turns how that artifact was actually used into its rules of play. The stone guardian of King Muryeong's tomb became a game about stopping tomb raiders, and Cheomseongdae observatory became a constellation-matching game.

Visitors excavate and restore artifacts as they play. Instead of reading about an artifact, they learn what it was used for by playing it.

Excavation Squad is an archaeology-themed immersive experience in which visitors join an expedition to protect artifacts from tomb raiders. It ran for 12 days in the 10th-floor culture hall of Hyundai Department Store Mia in August 2026, drawing about 1,800 visitors with an average stay of 78 minutes.

Alongside the mini games, the exhibition presented artifact comics, in which the squad members explain the stories behind each artifact, and artifact card merchandise that carries those stories.

The mini games can also run from a single 2m × 2m modular booth rather than a whole hall. The booth holds a badge issuing desk, one game on a 24-inch monitor, an ultra-short-throw projector and a life-size character standee within three partition walls.

gluee creates THE BOARD, a series of experience exhibitions that bring immersive technology to the play structure of board games. In October 2026 it opened the second title, ‘THE BOARD : Manseokjung Nori’, at Palbok Art Factory in Jeonju.
