Dates can be so much more than just dinner and a movie, and Seoul is one of the best cities to find different unique and fun activities to share with your significant other. While Navering (in Korea, Naver still outbeats Google) things to do around Hongdae, I came across Cafe Puzzle, which literally is a cafe with lots and lots of jigsaw puzzles! Located just 3 minutes from Hongdae subway station exit 9, this is a perfect way to spend a relaxing two hours with friends or dates - even better, you don't have to sit and try to make conversation, and it's completely okay to be silent and absorbed in the puzzle.
So basically you need to order one drink per person, and you can spend 2.5 hours (yes, there is a time limit, and it's 2 hours on weekends) on any number of 150-piece jigsaw puzzles. They have a wide variety of coffees, teas, juices, and even beer - all of which are not exactly cheap but it's including the prize of the puzzles, so pretty much worth it. Here is the menu:
For the larger puzzles (500 piece and over) you can purchase a box, and keep your progress at the cafe for up to three months, and come back and complete it little by little. When you're finished, you can buy a frame and take it home!
My boyfriend and I took about one hour to complete this - only half of the given time limit, which meant we had time for another puzzle, but this one left us exhausted since the last part (where all the skin is) was rather difficult and gave us headaches toward the end.
In any case we felt productive and proud of ourselves when we finished. We probably won't come here again as we just wanted to experience it, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who is really into puzzles and doesn't have the time or space to solve large puzzles at home by themselves.
