My fav of the two rooms here. Absolutely fab goblin/wizard/not-not-Harry Potter room. Some very special effects in here. Highly recommend for families and enthusiasts who love magic rooms and anyone with a pulse!! πͺ

I thought this was the better of the two rooms at Hidden Donkey, but they are both good and I do think this room makes more sense if you have already played the Dragon Wand room and been introduced to the wizard school, spellcasting mechanic, etc. The set design is really good, including a super cool βtransportationβ scene. I felt like the ending was, once again, abrupt. They added a bonus puzzle for us since we were ahead on time, which I appreciated (and it was a good puzzle). Definitely recommended, preferably as a two-room experience.

Very whimsical, very atmospheric room. The immersion level is top notch, although since they're incorporating another room using some common areas, slight break with puzzle markers on them. Puzzles are very spot on to the environment, use of spells and tech supports it quite well. All make sense and are pertinent to the room. Slight small hiccup we got caught on due to a missed key being noticed, but the way it was hidden was almost obscure. Not sure I would call it anyone's fault really, but a bit of an oof either way.

Mix of both, but I would say leaning towards tech.

1000 points to House Hidden Donkey for this exquisitely designed room! The immersion level was amazing - it definitely had Warner Bros quality sets. Puzzles were creative and some would challenge the cleverest of Ravenclaws. A perfect sequel to their other room!

PERFECT!! I have been waiting to try this room for a long time, and it was worth it. The props and gameplay are just on point. I came here with my girlfriend on my birthday. She booked this room to surprise me, as we had waited for it to come out since we heard about it. So this is definitely the best birthday gift ever!!

I've been waiting for this room to open for so long, and finally - the wait is over! I am happy to report that this room is on par, or would I even say - more magical - than the first room at this location. There were more puzzles and the theme of the puzzles made sense. Because they are working on other puzzles to be done in the same room for their next escape room, there were a lot of red herrings so I would just be on the lookout for that. I think the ideal group number here is four! We had a group of four and the puzzle work felt balanced on our end.

This room is MAGIC. It felt like we were literally walking into a certain theme park. The production value is so top notch.
