Guardians of Jinju

진주의 수호자들

Guardians of Jinju is a web-based mission tour experience set around Jinju Fortress and the Historic Battle Cultural Park. Participants access a platform without downloading an app, moving through designated locations to complete missions. The content consists of three episodes: the first follows a narrative of historical events at the fortress, the second is a mystery-style mission featuring three protagonists, and the third offers a fantasy scenario available in Korean and English. Players collect clues to complete a final message. The event runs in the evening in connection with Jinju's Namgang Lantern Festival, featuring illuminated fortress scenery. Participants begin at the lawn in front of Gongbuk Gate within the fortress and receive a commemorative gift upon completion.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site

1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.

💡 Good to know

When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
