If you enjoy challenge rooms or escape rooms, you’re going to love the Hijinx Hotel in Alexandria. It will be the world’s first hotel with 15 immersive challenge rooms for people who are up to the task of figuring a way out of a difficult situation!
From Funlab, the team behind recreational sites like Strike, Holey Moley, Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, and B Lucky and Sons, Hijinx Hotel was not built to accommodate guests but to give them a unique experience. Guests will have no need to pack a suitcase but they will need to sharpen their mental and physical agility to play in the rooms.
The challenge rooms are grouped in sets with five different interactive areas, which the guests are expected to complete in the allotted time. Each room may accommodate a party of six.
While there are no ocean views at this hotel, the rooms carry interesting themes that include a throwback to well-loved childhood games like The Floor is Lava, Twister, Tetris, or Pinball. Another room is like a tribute to the Titanic and some rooms are designed like a bowl of cereals, giant blocks of letters, or a giant piano. Everything looks chaotic but all in the name of fun!
When guests arrive at Hijinx Hotel, they will be greeted by the concierge and staff at the hotel lobby and will be given their room keys. Before or after they start with the challenge, they may also sit down and unwind at the hotel bars, which are also designed with familiar elements from “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory” or “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”
Guests may also warm up or cool down with a game of golf at Holey Moley, which is also inside the hotel. The hotel will also cater to group events for a party of 30 people. The challenge rooms are ideally suited for guests as young as 5 years old.
Hijinx Hotel will officially open on 17 June 2022. Bookings are now accepted online.
