Making of
A 660 m² culture hall, six zones
In the 10th-floor culture hall of Hyundai Department Store Mia we built six zones, including badge issuing, board game, mini-game and photo zones.
Each relic's purpose becomes a game rule
The stone guardian beast of King Muryeong's tomb became a game of stopping tomb raiders, and the Cheomseongdae observatory became a constellation puzzle. There are nine mini-games in all.
A character badge made from your photo
A photo taken at the entrance becomes an AI character on your squad badge. Tag it at each game and your character appears on screen. From day two we switched the 3D characters to 2D.
Nine mini-games
Mini-games we developed ourselves around relics of Korea's Three Kingdoms period.
Relic comics
The squad members explain the story behind each relic in comics.
Relic cards
Relics and their stories on collectible cards.
Modular booth
2m × 2m modular booth
Even without a whole culture hall, a single 2m × 2m modular booth can run badge issuing and a mini-game.
What fits in one booth
A badge issuing desk, a game on a 24-inch monitor, an ultra-short-throw projector, a life-size character standee and three partition walls.
