Korea Boardgames Family Park to Be Held at KINTEX in January

Korea Boardgames announced that it will host the 2027 Korea Boardgames Family Park for 10 days, from January 15 to January 24, 2027, in Hall 10A of KINTEX. A new lecture-style hands-on experience, where attendees learn and play board games like taking a class, will be introduced at this event.

The Family Park was first held in January 2026, making this the second edition of the event. It features board game experience zones organized by age and theme, escape room board games, and indoor activity games such as Hot Wheels, GraviTrax, and Rubik's Cubes. Visitors can also experience Eoseo-oseonyang by child board game designer Kim Seo-jin, which achieved a 684% funding rate in a crowdfunding campaign organized by Korea Boardgames.

The new lecture-style program will be divided by game. At the Growth Square, participants gather at scheduled times to learn and play board games such as Da Vinci Code. Coffee Alley is dedicated to Coffee Rush by Korean board game designer Han Eui-jin, while Catan Island is a space for learning Catan. The GraviTrax Junior special lecture will be conducted in a format similar to actual kindergarten and daycare classes.

The Eoseo-oseonyang experience area does not have set session times, allowing visitors to participate whenever a seat opens up. Returning experience zones include Giant's Garden, where visitors can play oversized board games, and Mystery Club, where players tackle escape room games within a time limit. Time-slot events will also be held.

Operating hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Amenities include a first-come, first-served picnic mat area, a "Yum Yum Station" selling instant ramen, and two food trucks. Visitors may bring their own packed lunches, but food delivery is prohibited.

Ticket sales for the event began on November 2. Admission passes are categorized into weekday, weekend, and afternoon tickets. Weekday and weekend passes allow full-day access, while afternoon tickets permit entry starting from 3:00 PM.
