How the Adventure Unfolds
Your adventure begins in the historic Hanyang district. You receive your first clue and are introduced to the zombie storyline that threads through the entire game.
Following the trail, you arrive near the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Solving the puzzle here reveals details about the Joseon royal court and the palace's central role in Korean governance.
Your clues lead you into the narrow alleys of Bukchon, where traditional hanok architecture lines both sides of the street. A puzzle at this stop connects the residential life of Joseon-era nobles to the city's urban layout.
You ascend one of the scenic hillside passages above Bukchon. From here, the puzzle rewards you with a panoramic view and a historical insight into how the city's geography influenced its development.
The trail brings you near Changdeokgung, the second great royal palace of Seoul. The clue at this location focuses on Korea's gradual opening to international influence during the late Joseon period.
The last stop ties together all the narrative threads of the zombie adventure. Completing the final puzzle brings the story to its resolution and marks the end of your self-guided journey through historic Seoul.
