Puzzle Theory - Escape Room - South Windsor, Connecticut

Amber Labrecque

This place was amazing. We have gone to many escape rooms and this was one of our favorites. We did warehouse 13 which is “creepy” but my 11 year old
Son did fine and it was not scary more so tests fears. Super interactive and definitely was worth it. It beats the ones I’ve been to in Holyoke MA and Hadley MA. Worth the drive for sure!

My wife and I have done 9 or 10 escape rooms at different places and this was hands down the best one! The wizard room was sooo much fun with incredible magnetic/interactive clues and surprises. Can't wait to try all the rooms!

I came here with my bestie who’s never done an escape room before, and I was completely blown away by the build quality and the puzzles of the two-people rooms that I did, The Wizard Realm and The Jungle Dimension.

I had tons of great conversation with our game master, Peter, who is a true expert and loves what he does. Before you even step foot into the door of your room, the immersion begins (especially in The Wizard Realm), and it pays off in the end… I don’t want to spoil anything ?

My friend is a huge Harry Potter fan, and she totally loved The Wizard Realm. It has no locks, and everything is run by “magic” (if you know what I mean). The room AND sound design was awesome, and I was mouth agape, taking in the careful attention to detail in the room. There was a cool mix of puzzles, and you have to carefully observe everything in the room because it all has a clever purpose. It draws inspiration from Harry Potter, so it has to be on your bucket list if you’re a fan.

Since we had such an amazing time in The Wizard Realm, I asked if we could book another on the spot, and Peter readily scheduled us for an excursion to the jungle (keep in mind that it was a Tuesday). For a two-person escape room, the pricing is extremely reasonable for what you receive here.

The Jungle Dimension is more of your standard codes and locks escape room if that’s more your style. The start is a slow burn as you explore your new surroundings, but by the end, you accumulate so much momentum working on the main objective. There are more physically skilled challenges to do, so if you like tactile tasks, then you would like this room. This room had me and my friend dancing inside because, yet again, its atmosphere and sound design were surprising, immersive, and entertaining.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Wizard Realm because I love to see the unique ways that businesses engineer their escape rooms, so I had a lot of fun discovering the mechanics of the room. I booked here in the first place for The Wizard Realm, but my Harry Potter-obsessed friend said that she actually enjoyed doing the puzzles in The Jungle Dimension more and being hands-on.

The final cherry on top was the “prize” at the end for winning. I was lucky and left with a special memento that the owner 3D prints himself.

All of the little touches throughout my experience make Puzzle Theory one of my favorite escape rooms of all time. I’m very confused why I didn’t come here sooner.

My friend, who was hesitant about doing an escape room, found herself enjoying the experience more than she expected. This place is perfect for both the escape room noob and fanatic.

I will return here to finish the other rooms, and I have no doubt in my mind that the other three rooms are even better. Thanks again, Peter!

The staff is super friendly. We didn't make it out of the room in the hour but it was so much fun (there were only two of us and it was our first time). Really well done and challenging but not to the point of being frustrating. I will definitely be going back!

This escape room seriously puts every other escape room to shame...like, I don't know how I'm going to be able to do escape rooms at other places and not compare the quality to this. Trust me, you're getting what you pay for. We did one of the train experiences and it was so cool. There's tons of secret rooms to open up as you go along. I recommend having at least 4 people though, because many of the challenges/puzzles require two people working together. We're definitely going to come back and do all the other ones! Super fun.

We had so much fun! We did the Spectral Rift puzzle and it was so challenging and fun! The two employees were so nice and they were very patient with our ridiculous crew. Definitely the hardest escape room I’ve done and good vibes all around!

thanks ace

Went here with a group of 4 people for the train heist. We had never been to an escape room before and as other's have mentioned, this blew us away..
The staff was very cool and helpful. The build quality of the heist puzzles were great. We figured there was no way we were going to beat it but luckily we completed with 1min left.
Excellent experience and I would recommend to anyone who appreciates using your mind!
Will be back
