The newly opened Running Man Theme Experience Hall at the beginning of November this year attracted many challengers as soon as its opening was announced. Here, you must complete 12 challenges within 45 minutes to earn an R-coin-shaped badge. Each challenge requires using the electronic wristband provided upon entry to activate, and your scores will be recorded on the wristband for redemption of souvenirs or certificates at the end. Based on your score, you can receive different numbers of badges, with a maximum of 3. Scores above 80 also earn you a “certificate of achievement”!

▲ After calculating the scores on the wristband, those under 60 points receive one reward medal, 61–79 points get two, and 80 points or above earn three. You can also take photos on the small stage as a keepsake. (Photo / IG@via0301Provided. Please do not reproduce without permission to avoid copyright infringement.)

These 12 challenges are all modeled after games played by the Running Man cast. In addition to the “Crawling Maze” from Episode 270’s Lee Kwang-soo Revenge Maze, where fans can experience the panic and knee pain the cast felt, there’s also the “Voice Shouting” challenge from Episode 126, where Ji Suk-jin had to shout at full volume to reach a certain decibel level—just like Ji Suk-jin did when he took on the mini mission assigned by Yoo Jae-suk during the 1:7 deception of Choi Ji-woo. There’s also a simplified version of the treasure hunt game that’s been common on the show in recent years, where you test your reflexes and speed by touching randomly blinking lights.
