"Visiting Friends Game Land" is a social contribution program jointly promoted by Seongnam City and Kakao Games since 2019. It is designed to provide new entertainment and experiential opportunities to local children, teenagers, and students with disabilities who have limited access to gaming culture. A virtual reality (VR) game bus featuring Kakao Friends characters visits schools and welfare facilities, allowing children to enjoy immersive gaming experiences firsthand.

This year, the event began with the Global Village Harmony Festival in May, followed by visits to Seongnam Hyeun School in June and Seongnam Sports Complex in September. On the 17th, three organizations including the Haeun Regional Child Center participated, and the final event of the year is scheduled to take place at Seongeun School on the 24th.

Inside the 25-seat bus, a variety of 4D VR attractions such as a roller coaster, gyro drop, Ferris wheel, carousel, and sightseeing train are installed. By sitting in the experience chair and wearing VR goggles and a headset, participants can feel the thrill and vivid sense of actually riding the amusement rides.

In addition, supplementary programs are offered for children to enjoy together, including a "ㄷ"-shaped ball pool game designed for wheelchair users, a tactile block-matching game played with eyes closed, and a Ryan photo zone.

Seongnam City plans to use this event to help children and teenagers experience gaming in a positive way, communicate with their peers, and foster a healthy leisure culture.

A Seongnam City official stated, "We hope that the Visiting Friends Game Land will be a valuable opportunity for children to enjoy healthy gaming experiences and have fun with their friends."
