About
An Amore Pacific pop-up with a cosmetics-lab escape room, skin diagnosis and exhibits on how cosmetics are made.
A cosmetics research lab turns into the setting for an escape room: the story sends you looking for a missing scientist and the secret of ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. The themed rooms and exhibits belong to an Amore Pacific pop-up inside story A Busan, but the game gives you little time to inspect the lab-like details. Come for the puzzles first; look around before or after if the space is accessible. The escape room is the main reason to visit, rather than a place to shop for a particular product. Staff also explain how cosmetics are made and offer skin-tone and skin-type diagnosis, with help matching products to your complexion. Sessions run on the hour, and reports describe a short pledge form before play. An English version is available. The first attempt is ₩15,000 per person; a retry is ₩7,500. Participants may also receive discount coupons for a return visit and for Amore and O'Sulloc stores. Book in advance through Naver Map or Naver booking: walk-ins may be turned away, and weekend slots reportedly fill quickly. There is a schedule wrinkle worth checking before you go: visitor reports describe sessions Tuesday through Friday from 13:00 to 18:00, but the catalog currently lists the venue as closed every day. Confirm that bookings are actually available rather than relying on either listing alone. The experience suits couples, friends and beauty-curious visitors, including English-speaking travelers. Escape-room regulars may find the lock-picking-style puzzles familiar, and some players feel the puzzle load is tight for the time allowed.
Local tips
- Book an hourly escape-room slot through Naver Map or Naver booking.
- Check current opening status before setting out; listed hours conflict with visitor reports.
- Choose the English game version if you prefer to play in English.
- Look over the exhibits before the game if access allows; players say the puzzles leave little time to take in the rooms.
