Hijinx Hotel makes U.S. debut with immersive, interactive game experience

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8, 2025 – Known globally as the premier creator of competitive socializing experiences, Funlab is bringing two iconic entertainment concepts to one 35,000-square-foot location at Irvine Spectrum Center on December 12, 2025. Holey Moley Golf Club and the first-ever U.S. location of Hijinx Hotel create an immersive entertainment destination that reimagines social connection and playful creativity in a retail environment.

“We’re thrilled to debut Hijinx Hotel to the U.S. for the very first time, and to bring Holey Moley to Orange County,” said Blaise Witnish, CEO of Funlab. “Our mission at Funlab is to create immersive, unforgettable adventures that can be shared. These new concepts deliver exactly that, combining playful creativity with social connection in ways that truly reimagine what entertainment looks like in a retail environment.”

JLL Project and Development Services (PDS) and JLL Design created set-like designs that immerse guests into a world of whimsy. JLL provided design, architecture and project management services for the Hijinx Hotel and Holey Moley locations.

Already a favorite destination for adventure in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Denver, San Francisco and Santa Monica, this is Holey Moley’s first location in Orange County. There are 27 outrageously designed mini golf holes with neon-lit, nostalgia-driven obstacles celebrating cultural icons from the eighties, nineties and beyond. The experience caters to all skill levels and includes a full-service bar and restaurant serving themed cocktails and sharable bites, making it perfect for groups looking to combine dining with entertainment.

Adjacent to Holey Moley, Hijinx Hotel makes its U.S. debut with a hotel-inspired concept featuring 15 unique challenge rooms with mind-bending design concepts and eccentric experiences, for two to six players. Each scored interactive game takes place in Instagram-worthy settings with eye-catching activations, while three private karaoke lounges and the speakeasy-style Suite 404 bar and restaurant complete the experience with mood lighting, extensive song choices and space for groups to come together and celebrate.

“Through Funlab’s vision we transformed these spaces into an experiential world of fun for both Hijinx Hotel and Holey Moley,” said Diane Rambo, Senior Vice President, Creative for JLL Design. “We focused on the brand’s culture of creativity, to design environments that encourage social connection and bring the customer experience to life.”

Both Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel offer an inspired setting and playful spin on any group event. Grand opening of both locations will be December 12, 2025. Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel are located at 517 Spectrum Center Drive, Irvine, California 92618.
