Nexon recently unveiled the “MapleStory in Lotte World Busan” autumn collaboration event at Lotte World Adventure Busan.
Running for 86 days until November 22, the event transforms Lotte World Busan into an immersive experience for “MapleStory” fans. Building on the success of its spring collaboration in Jamsil, Nexon brings the offline IP experience to Busan.
The event’s theme revolves around a takeover of the “Magic Forest” by mushrooms, triggered by Pink Bean’s portal. Visitors embark on a journey as “MapleStory” heroes to restore order amidst the chaos.
At the Garden Stage, inspired by the in-game “Mushroom Castle,” guests can participate in a “Make Your Own Character” program. By scanning a QR code and customizing their character’s appearance, they can see it come to life on a digital panel. “MapleStory” players can even bring their in-game characters into the real world. Throughout the park, a mobile stamp rally offers rewards from Princess Violetta’s garden party.
Entertainment programs include the new parade “MapleStory: Dance Together!”, “MapleStory Pink Bean Photo Time” at the Talking Tree, “MapleStory Busking,” and the lively “Pink Bean Greeting Band.”
Visitors can explore replicas of a space-time portal and the in-game town of “Henesys” within the park. Photo spots themed around Princess Violetta’s garden party and a 6-meter-tall Orange Mushroom air balloon with bubble effects add to the magical atmosphere.
Exclusive merchandise such as Orange Mushroom plush hats, “Red Potion” and “Blue Potion” drinks, and Busan-themed food and beverages are available. Additionally, there are four-cut photo booths with character frames, photo cards, and a capsule toy zone for more fun.
Moreover, a permanent “MapleStory” zone named “Maple Island” is now open at Magic Island in Lotte World Adventure Jamsil.
