[title]In very exciting news for those among us who are Big Kids, Melbourne has just got its very first Hijinx Hotel. Not familiar with the Hijinx? Well, let’s start by saying it’s not like your regular hotel. In fact, it’s not a hotel at all. More so, an extravagant, magical, and fully immersive experience where games and challenges rule supreme and fun is pretty much guaranteed. Oh, and there’s delicious food and ‘grammable cocktails, too. Located at Chadstone, the Fashion Capital's Social Quarter, the new Hijinx Hotel is the first of its kind in Victoria, and only the third to open in the country, so you can understand why we’re giddy just thinking about it.
Upon entering, you and your fellow game players will step into what looks like a fabulous and quirky New York Hotel, complete with hilarious artworks, statement lighting and theatrical design (are the framed pictures real?!). There, you’ll adventure through a series of ten hotel rooms which house quick-play immersive games. Expect to find everything and anything in the nostalgia-inspired rooms from a ball pit to a massive piano and your favourite cartoon characters. The rooms are designed for between two and six players – so you can bring your mates or go with the family for a day out – and you’ll work together to complete and score points on a leaderboard. Though be warned: Hijinx Hotel will test and challenge your mind, sanity and quite frankly, your relationships. While we don’t want to give too much away, the games will have you yelling at the top of your lungs, jumping up and down and squealing with delight – and sometimes all at the same time.
Afterwards, you can head to Hijinx Hotel’s restaurant and bar to refuel. Snack on chicken wings, onion rings or corn with fresh herbs and lime. For something more substantial, there’s pizzas, burgers, hot dogs and more. To drink, choose from an Aperol Spritz, Tommy’s Margarita, or opt for a signature drink like the White Choc Drop with passionfruit, or the Insta-worthy Bubble and Pop with vanilla, pineapple and peach.
Hijinx Hotel is for all ages – so it doesn’t matter if you’re big or small, you can come along and join in on the fun. Be one of the first to experience the new Hijinx Hotel, which is open now: book now here.
