Under the banner of "PUBG Fan Festa Seoul," the event was hosted by game developer Krafton to celebrate the eighth anniversary of its multiplayer battle royale game "Battlegrounds," where dozens of players parachute onto a large map, acquire equipment, engage in combat, and win by being the last one standing.
The three-day event, which kicked off last Friday, saw hordes of visitors and long waiting lines, attracting professional gamers and influencers. They not only enjoyed the game but also mingled with each other, purchasing various game-related merchandise and other goods.
They were also given a ticket that read: "Mission: Experience at least 3 tasks and get a chance to draw special supplies."
At each booth, visitors were able to collect stamps by completing tasks that exceeded a certain score. They could then go to an indoor event zone and use their ticket to randomly draw goods such as supply crate-shaped dolls and beverage-shaped dolls.
The capsules contained limited-edition special items, with participants mostly receiving coupons for G-Coin, the game's in-game currency.
Fun came not just from playing, but also from watching other participants hugging capsules, wedging them between their legs, and occasionally dropping them.
Among the highlights on the first day of the event was an exciting match between eight professional gamers and around 88 amateurs, with a commentator adding excitement and thrills to the match.
