Guardians of Jinju
August 14, 2026 - September 6, 2026Overview
Guardians of Jinju is a mission-tour experience set around Jinju Fortress and the Historic Battle Culture Park. Participants access a web-based platform without installing a separate app and move between designated locations within Jinju Fortress and the Historic Battle Culture Park to complete missions. The experience consists of a three-part series. Part 1 is a narrative-driven mission based on historical events at Jinju Fortress, while Part 2 is a mystery-style mission centered on three characters. Part 3 has been designed with a fantasy concept and will be offered in both Korean and English. Participants collect clues to complete a final sentence. The experience takes place at night in conjunction with National Heritage Media Art at Jinju Fortress and the National Heritage Cultural Heritage Night Tour, set against the nighttime scenery of Jinju Fortress illuminated by lights and lanterns.
