Another amazing experience by Hidden Donkey! You don’t need any prior knowledge to complete the room, and it’s clear just how much love was put into the set design, puzzles, and atmosphere. Amazing experience!

Hidden Donkey is one of the best escape rooms in OC! They currently only have 2 escape rooms, but I love both! I do prefer the other one over this escape room just because the other room had more puzzles and the puzzles were more intricate. BUT this one is definitely more theatrical. I can't wait what they have in store for us next! #teamslytherin 🐍

Good — a bit linear and a few logic jumps. Cute and well produced. Room seems a bit overhyped, though. Good but not great.

This was a very whimsical escape room! You definitely felt like you were in the wizardry world, and what made this a unique experience was the tech and mechanical aspects that went into this room. You can tell that the creators put a lot of work and creativity into their puzzles, props, and set design. As a group of 3, we had a great time together! This escape room is linear, so 3-4 players are a good fit to communicate, work together, and think outside the box. There was so much to look at, and we tried our best not to get distracted by how magical this escape room felt! Haha. I would highly recommend this escape room, especially if you’re into the fantasy theme and Harry Potter!
Gameplay
Everything flowed really well! The only challenge was knowing where to start. There is a lot to look at, discover, and uncover, but this is a linear escape room, so it it’s important to look at the clues that you are given and remember details from the room.
Atmosphere
We were surprised at how immersive this escape room was! From the lighting, the props, the background music, the clues, everything made you feel like you were in the wizardry world! Our favorite parts were the utilization of the wands and how as a team, you had to say a spell and wave your wands altogether. That was a very unique way to engage with the puzzles and our surroundings.
Customer service
Our Game Master was attentive to our needs and stayed in character which made it immersive.

This escape room is spacious and is well utilized, but since this escape room is linear, I would recommend 4 players so that everyone has a chance to participate, discover, and piece together the clues.

I think this was one room where I gasped at every corner because of how cool and magical this room was. I would definitely play this room again when they are done with the other part

Wow! Just wow. Extremely immersive, SO imaginative. The puzzles were really unique, and there was a MAJOR wow moment. It was really fun doing spells and the way the puzzles flowed kept things interesting. Can’t wait to do the other room here.
