Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan (큐브이스케이프 대전둔산점) is an escape room café on the 5th floor of a building in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon. We went as a family for this trip. The shop is on the 5th floor, and there's an elevator, so it's easy to get up and down. There's also underground parking under the building, which is an even bigger plus!! ![5th floor entrance of Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-01-8195n-1200.webp) ![Dim corridor interior inside the escape room café](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-02-ymxqa-900.webp) True to the escape room vibe, the interior is done up in a distinctive style — kind of like a corridor inside a castle? It's dim rather than bright, so it feels a bit eerie, and the background music was set to a horror mood too, which really brought the atmosphere alive. ![Escape room space designed like a corridor inside a castle](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-03-1y7u0-900.webp) ## How hard is the 'Obsession' theme, and how long do you get? Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan has 6 themes ranging from level 3 to 5, and since my sibling said they were good at this stuff, we tried the level 4 theme 'Obsession'! Time limit is 1 hour. When I looked up 'Obsession' online, I thought it would just be mystery-solving, but as we played it gradually turned into horror... By the end we could barely do anything, we got scared, and our pace slowed way down. ![Signage for the level 4 'Obsession' theme](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-04-btoaa-900.webp) ### Lock types and the 3-hint rule at Cube Escape There are 3 types of locks: the common number-dial lock, a lock combining 5–6 digit numbers and letters, and a directional lock you move up/down/left/right in order. There's an intercom right next to the entrance door, so if you get stuck, you can request up to 3 hints. Just be careful — if you open the door and step out midway, it counts as giving up. ![Hint intercom next to the theme entrance door](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-05-kua70-900.webp) ## Where do you leave your bags? A locker for each theme There are lockers for each theme so everyone playing can store their belongings. There are also extra storage lockers for those with a lot of stuff. Since the place is near Sungsimdang (the famous bakery), I even saw people storing bread they'd brought along, haha. ![Lockers set up for storing belongings by theme](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-06-i2fit-m-900.webp) ## Hall of fame and the Polaroid reward My photo came out blurry, sorry! I heard the hall of fame is for people who cleared it using only 1 hint. I wanted to try other themes too, but I don't like scary stuff, so I'll save that for next time... haha ![Escape room hall of fame board](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-07-15e8h-900.webp) *My photo came out blurry, sorry!* If you escape after using 2 hints or fewer, you get to take home a polaroid photo! So many people have left their record here. ![Wall of polaroid photos from successful escapes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-08-13lcr-900.webp) ![In-store event notice board](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-09-1txjh-900.webp) There are a lot of these small events, and they're also posted on the Cube Escape website, so I'd recommend checking it out before you visit! ![Event information poster at Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-10-1k0p3-900.webp) ## Payment methods and opening hours Only card or cash is accepted, and paying cash gets you a ₩1,000 discount per person. Some places charge ₩30,000, but the Daejeon branch seems cheaper than that. ![Pricing and payment information for the escape room](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-11-ysohh-900.webp) Make sure to check the operating hours too, so your plans don't get thrown off. ![Operating hours notice for Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-12-162qk-900.webp) ## What's in the waiting area: prop displays and puzzles They've arranged props used in the escape rooms as interior decoration. There's a lot of variety, but you can't touch them with your hands, so you have to enjoy them with your eyes only, ㅠㅠ A bit of a shame, but there's more variety than you'd expect, so it's fun to look around once. ![Interior decorated with escape room props on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-13-1b0ad-900.webp) There are also simple mystery puzzles posted on the waiting tables. If you like solving mystery puzzles, or want something to do while you wait, check out my photo and give it a try! ![Mystery puzzle posted on the waiting table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-14-1ft2r-900.webp) ## What the level 4 horror theme was actually like Because of how escape rooms work, I couldn't take detailed photos, so I have to explain most of it in words. Still, the staff were kind and the place itself felt clean, which I liked. I ran into an obstacle I didn't expect and unfortunately failed to escape... ㅠㅠ I hope you all succeed, get your polaroid photo, and make it onto the hall of fame! 'Obsession' is a theme with a strong thriller feel, so the mood changes completely the moment you step into the space. It was fun piecing together the story as we found clues one by one, and unexpected devices kept popping up, keeping us tense throughout. The puzzles weren't too easy either, so we kept discussing ideas with each other, and I think we got so absorbed we lost track of time. Above all, the theme's atmosphere and story fit together so well that I think both first-timers and experienced escape room fans would enjoy it. If you're looking for something a bit different from the usual dates or activities in Daejeon, I'd recommend Cube Escape's 'Obsession'! ## Where it is - Cube Escape Daejeon Dunsan Branch (큐브이스케이프 대전둔산점) - 5F, 47 Daedeok-daero185beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 대덕대로185번길 47 5층 큐브이스케이프 - 36.3507068, 127.3749349 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%81%90%EB%B8%8C%EC%9D%B4%EC%8A%A4%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%ED%94%84%20%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%84%EB%91%94%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@36.3507068,127.3749349,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pocket-map/cube-escape-daejeon-dunsan-obsession-theme-1aec/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
