Hello. To make a long story short over 2 bitcoins were stolen from a wallet of mine that was used for testing my new Bitcoin based game. I wake up this morning to find it's all gone. Is there any way I can get them back? This is very frustrating for me as I see no way that the hacker could've accessed my admin panel or even stumbled across the testing URL.

So you have put your 2 BTC on a machine can be accessed from Internet and there's no password? It's quite dangerous and please never do it again before you have a security expert helping you.

BTC transaction is irreversible, so only the one who have the private key of that address can send back the money to you.

Sorry for you loss. If you really want to test next time, either use test BTC or use a very small amount of BTC. Moreover, before bring it to production, please consult some computer security experts.

The testing system had an admin panel that needs a username and password which I set. In the admin panel you can send and receive bitcoins directly from there using the block chain API. I'm just wondering how on earth they got in. The admin page is secure.
According to your description, you must have saved the password (and second password if any) of blockchain wallet in your server. The hacker just get access to your server directly and no need to use your admin page. Moreover, if your local machine is hacked, the hacker can know the username and password you keyed in. As long as your password is stored or transferred through Internet, there's possibility for it to be got by hackers. Security is a very difficult job even for experts.

Very very unlikely.
Bitcoin transaction is irreversible.
Unless you find the hacker, torture him and make him send you back 2 btc, your bitcoin is lost. Sad

Sorry to hear your loss.  Sad
