Hijinx Hotel makes U.S. debut with immersive, interactive game ...
JLL provided design, architecture and project management services for Funlab’s first Hijinx Hotel location and seventh Holey Moley location in the United States
www.jll.comHere’s the latest I can share about Hijinx Hotel based on recent reporting:
- U.S. debut: Hijinx Hotel opened at Irvine Spectrum Center in Irvine, California, on December 12, 2025, as part of Funlab’s Holey Moley entertainment complex. This marks the first Hijinx Hotel in the United States. [cite ][3]
- Concept details: Hijinx Hotel is an immersive, non-overnight experience with 15 challenge rooms, a bar, a lobby, a speakeasy, and private karaoke rooms. The setting blends immersive entertainment with social gameplay rather than traditional lodging. [cite ][3]
- Related openings: Holey Moley Golf Club and Hijinx Hotel opened concurrently at the Irvine location, creating a 35,000-square-foot integrated venue aimed at social play and group events. [cite ][3]
Notes and context:
- Hijinx Hotel has a history outside the U.S., with earlier locations in Australia (notably Sydney and Surfers Paradise) where the concept originated and has since expanded. [cite ][cite ][4][8]
- If you’re in or near Grapevine, Texas, there isn’t a Hijinx Hotel location announced there as of now; the U.S. expansion announced publicly centers on the Irvine, CA venue. [cite ][3]
Would you like me to search for more up-to-date local venue news or provide a quick summary of what to expect in a Hijinx Hotel visit (types of rooms, booking tips, age restrictions, etc.)? [cite ][3]
