Experiencing Seoul

Get a taste of Korean culture through digital platforms before your future trip.

SEOUL CONVENTION BUREAU’S VIRTUAL SEOUL PLAYGROUND is the one and only virtual teambuilding program developed to add fun to online/hybrid events. Almost all workers have participated in online programs like webinars, e-conferences, online classes and more. With the Virtual Seoul Playground, participants can play stimulating teambuilding games in a metaverse Seoul.

The Virtual Seoul Playground joins Virtual Seoul and Seoul MICE World. Virtual Seoul is a platform where online/hybrid meetings or events are hosted with 360-degree, virtual-reality videos, a networking lounge, a promotional booth and more. All can be modified upon request according to the program of the events. Seoul MICE World is a promotional booth that can be linked to any online/hybrid event. The appearance is similar to the Virtual Seoul; however, Seoul MICE World was not designed to hold meetings. This is a digital version of a promotional booth to be set up for on-site events. Cultural activities and information about Seoul are prepared for participants to enrich the online/hybrid events.

The idea for the Virtual Seoul Playground came from the many teambuilding programs

MICE participants in Seoul came to know and love. Now, the excitement of these events comes to online MICE event attendees. The ultimate goal of SCB’S digital transformation is to invite more visitors to the city when travel restrictions are lifted in near future. Get a taste of Korean culture through the digital platforms: Avatars wear different hanbok from Korean dramas and the games implement traditional Korean activities and popular Korean food.

Some of the games include Yunnori, with the setting a square in front of city hall, always a highranking, most-visited site. Take turns throwing yut and moving markers made with popular tourist attractions accordingly. The team bringing all markers home wins the game. In Seoul Lantern, players solve a quiz on Seoul to earn different elements for making a lantern to their liking. The setting for this activity is by the Hangang River, where many visitors cherish the night view. Or, make a gimbap. Gim is a seaweed sheet and bap is cooked rice. This popular food beloved my most Koreans can accommodate any preference in food. On the Virtual Seoul Playground, the basic style with vegetable and egg is prepared. Different teammates can work at different stations to deposit ingredients to make as many gimbap as possible. Cooperation is required to win the game.

Events and meetings may look different right now, but Seoul Convention Bureau ensures they can still be exciting, even virtually. And with Virtual Seoul Playground, the event will leave you ready to return to Seoul in person next time. Experience it yourself by visiting virtualseoul.or.kr
