Moonlit Secret Mission: Find the Missing Royal Seal invites visitors to Unhyeon Palace in central Seoul to experience a fictional mystery from the 19th century. The program runs from Wednesday to November 29, transforming the historic royal residence in Seoul's central Jongno District into a stage for storytelling, puzzle-solving, and traditional Korean arts.
During the investigation, participants take on the role of secret agents recruited by the father of King Gojong, who must find a missing royal seal. The two-hour program guides small groups through three key areas of the palace complex, from the outer walls to the courtyard.
Upon arrival, visitors begin their mission by interviewing a servant and playing a traditional hoop-rolling game to unlock the first clue. Next, they enter a dimly lit courtyard under moonlight, where they must question historical characters, solve riddles, and gather evidence to solve the case.
