Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon Wand

One of my favorites! We had nine people, including some who were twelve years old, so it was chaotic but enjoyable! There were five adults and four kids! The production was detailed, and the themes and the introduction were well-crafted. It’s unfortunate that it’s no longer available. I would definitely do it again! I loved the theme, the story, and the design.

I loved this room! There were a lot of puzzles that had us scratching our heads but ended up figuring out without taking much time. I think the difficulty level of medium is true. There were certain intricacies about the room that I really enjoyed. The GM was very friendly as well. I recommend!

It was a pretty solid room. Creative on the kind of themed puzzles you do. Done with a group of 7, but a few of us didn't contribute much to the puzzles just acting as support. Likely doable with a group of 3-4 active escapers.

So fun! The decoration is truly phenomenal. The room was pretty difficult and technical; we needed a couple extra minutes, which our game master was kind enough to give us, and that was after skipping over one portion for time's sake. Still, so glad we had the opportunity to finish the room, and the puzzles were really thought provoking!

The room was fantastic, everything about it was magical. Some of the puzzles required you to use your wand to do one of the clues while some of them requires you to have some basic knowledge about math and science. Overall, this was a great experience for me and my group.

I loved the theming for this room and enjoyed playing through it. I was only disappointed that it was so quick and easy. We got out in 38 minutes as a group of experienced escape room enthusiasts. Some parts were simply following directions with nothing to figure out. So while a fun experience, it wasn’t challenging enough. I would have given it a ❤️ if the puzzles had been more difficult and we had gotten to spend more time in the room solving things.

Friendly staff! Game play was very fun! Just the right level! Some unique puzzles

The Dragon Wand is an amazing room! The set design, props, and puzzles are high end and very immersive. This was the second room I played at Hidden Donkey tonight and I loved both. In total I have played 46 rooms (41W - 5L) so I still consider myself a bit of a novice. Tonight I played with two other adults with similar stats. We finished with 12:33 remaining and used no hints. We agree that this mostly linear room is medium difficulty so it was nice to have three brains looking at the puzzles from different angles (and checking each others' math). I would definitely recommend this room for all ages and abilities.

Great room, just a bit short

Great atmosphere, very immersive and on theme, tech all worked well, and there were some great reveals. But it’s only a 👍 not a ❤️ for me because there weren’t enough puzzles to do. A whole chunk of this room felt like following instructions to complete a task rather than solving puzzles that require thinking. Because you have to pay extra to do the room as a team of just 2, we did the room with 2 other escape room enthusiast friends, and we got out in just 38 minutes. Again, a few more puzzles would’ve helped make this a better experience for us, but it was still fun!
