Another amazing experience by Hidden Donkey! You donβt need any prior knowledge to complete the room, and itβs 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 π

Good β 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 youβre into the fantasy theme and Harry Potter!
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 itβs important to look at the clues that you are given and remember details from the room.
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.
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.

We absolutely loved this game! Itβs been compared to Harry Potter, but I wouldnβt really say that. I think itβs a cute wizard themed room that has its own storyline/characters. This room was a lot bigger than we thought. All the puzzles were very fun to figure out and fairly easy to piece together. Thereβs a room that is very interactiveβand without giving anything,βhas definitely been the coolest experience we have had in an escape room! Absolutely enjoyed this game!
