This place is great, I’d love to see more interactive puzzles and fewer classic locks but theming and execution of even the classic locks was phenomenal. Will definitely be back to try the other room and what appears to be an alternative variant of the same room
A bit more classic locks then I anticipated but there were some interactive puzzles. Although there were a good amount of locks they were well implemented with the clues and codes integrated within the story so props for that. The game is fairly linear and you can’t really deviate from that.
Set design and atmosphere in this room were fantastic. This is only my 4th escape room but I came up in technical theatre, worked for Knotts Scary Farm and now work on Disney attractions. This place does a great job. I’d love to see more from them.
Staff was super welcoming and the GM was very funny.

I loved how the game had scoring that sort of swelled and contributed to the rising action of the plot.

We absolutely love this place. My wife and I have done both rooms, and my daughter had a birthday adventure here with a group of friends and they absolutely loved it. The attention to detail and the feeling of immersion in each room is top notch. I want more, I hope they are able to expand their unit size to accommodate additional adventures. In the theme of Wizardry, we need more years at school!

This was a very fun room and experience. The overall set was beautiful and had a lot of extra set pieces. We solved a puzzle without using the correct pieces. We only got one hint but with three of us we were able to get out with time to spare. The wand aspect of the puzzles are fun

This room ended up becoming my wife and I’s all-time favorite room. I’m a huge enthusiast and have had favorites for years—Goblin’s Secret bumped those favorites down mid-game before we even finished it! It made me fall in love with escape rooms all over again. Our Game Master, Kyrie, was extremely friendly and professional. The set was detailed and high-production for sure! I’m a huge fan in total immersion, especially with hints and solving puzzles. This room did not fail to disappoint and it’s the little things that made it a great room. I loved every puzzle and appreciated the escape from reality and to feel like I’m truly in a magical realm. I hope everyone has the opportunity to try this room! Hidden Donkey, please continue to make rooms, especially with this theme. Thank you for bringing to life the true love and magic of escape rooms!
Extremely cohesive and smooth. Immersive!
The most friendly staff! Kyrie was our game master and was awesome!

This room is so great! Did it with 3 kids and they loved it. Really fun for kids but definitely need adults in there and absolutely a room that only adults could do as well! Production value was fantastic! Highly recommend.

The room was just as great if not better than the last one. There are some really unique puzzles and rooms in this one. We ended up getting the extra puzzle because we were moving quickly & with that it added several minutes leaving us with 7mins to spare. This company pumps out gold, would highly recommend visiting.

WOW!!!!! This room is simply amazing. I would love to just hang out in there and admire the set. It’s that good. The soundtrack and audio elements are wonderful and enhanced the experience. The puzzles were really fun and on theme and they can add or omit a bonus puzzle depending on how you’re doing on time. That puzzle was a great addition too. And the ‘working’ transportation system just pushed it over the top. This is truly a work of art and a must do room.
Fantastic!!! The flow was great and I really enjoyed the puzzles.
Whoever built this room could work fur Universal or Disney. It’s absolutely amazing.

It’s more mechanical, but everything fit the theme.
