The location?

The former North Korean embassy, transformed into the Kuala Lumpur branch of the Joint Economic Area (JEA) located at Cawangan Malaysia, No. 7 Jalan Batai in Bukit Damansara.

Visitors will be welcomed into the building with a giant traditional Korean Hahoe mask and an interactive character introduction display.

After suiting up in the infamous red jumpsuit and mask, you will be briefed by the mastermind himself, The Professor.

Visitors will be taken through three rooms that recreate distinct locations of the characters from the show.

Racing against time (30 minutes), visitors have to solve a treasure hunt in Tokyo’s room, hack into the JEA system in Rio’s room, and put their puzzle-solving skills to the test in Nairobi’s room.

Upon completion, visitors will unlock access to the final vault room where a large bed of bountiful cash awaits.

The experience will introduce the Korean crew to Malaysia, and serve as a treat for Malaysian fans to join in for the ultimate heist.

If you’ve ever dreamt of sleeping on a bed of cash and flaunting it to your friends on Instagram, now is your chance.
