1. X Escape Room Hongdae

For beginners, you can enter the Cursed Doll Room (저주 인형), which features a jealous doll that will try its best not to let you go (she’s got abandonment issues). However, if you’re looking for a real challenge, you’ll find it in Room #8: 생체실험731 or the Living Body Experiment 731. The room has a 4.5/5 difficulty level and a 4/5 fear or scare level. Good luck.
