Hidden Donkey

Escape room
IRL

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!

Loved the puzzles and the immersion, staff was super friendly, but the artificial difficulty in the darkness and the smoke making it physically difficult to breathe is what keeps it from being one of my favorites. Still an amazing room and a ton of fun.

You’re in elementary school and you have one hour to get everything finished before summer vacation, and this game does a great job of putting you in the mindset of an excited student ready to spring from school. The puzzles aren’t hard, which is fun because just like being in elementary school, it isn’t the difficulty of the activities that is tough, it’s the time crunch of getting all your schoolwork done with enough time to play with friends. Loved just how much there was to do in this room, and was a great challenge to tackle alone. Claire and Gwen were awesome!

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? This room will out that to the test! I love this style of room, as the puzzles themselves aren’t difficult, but there is just SO much to do. The usage of school subjects as a guiding theme allowed for a varied assortment of puzzles with cool methods of expression! Manager T and GM Daniel were amazing!

While space is a pretty common theme, Cosmic Crisis is a great example of using technology to change how you approach different puzzles. There were only two physical locks with the rest being high tech. I loved the use of different props to solve puzzles, and the variety of the puzzles were awesome! Manager T and GM Lizzy are absolutely wonderful!

What an incredible use of space and set design! The voice acting, painting, and props really brought the room to life, and the shifts in music made each part feel distinct and unique. Our GM Malcom was incredible, and we were able to get all the Brownie puzzles. Extremely cute room with a great use of space and puzzles that generated plenty of “a-ha” moments.

Awesome experience! I’d classify this less as an escape room and more of an immersive space experience, but that doesn’t detract from it being an awesome time! That being said, the puzzles themselves were pretty easy. This is one of the only rooms where I’d say having more people helps, as the fun of this room comes from the teamwork experience rather than solving difficult puzzles. I absolutely love when rooms have optional extra things for you to do, and this room had some bonus content to explore. Groups of 3-5 would be good, as there is actually something for everybody to do. My only gripe is that it’s a bit on the expensive side.
