Escape Room near East Hartford, CT
East Hartford is directly across the river from downtown Hartford, which means you are fifteen minutes from one of the highest-rated escape room operations in the northeast. REACT Premium Escape Rooms in Windsor Locks has been the escape room destination for the Greater Hartford area, East Hartford included, since 2015.
If you have been thinking about trying an escape room, or if you are looking for something genuinely worth doing for a birthday, a corporate event, or a night out with people you actually like, this is the answer to both.
Multi-Room Adventures, Not Locked Boxes
The escape rooms you may have heard about, one small room, a combination lock, forty-five minutes of increasingly frustrated puzzle-hunting, are not what happens at REACT. Every adventure at our Windsor Locks facility is a multi-room experience. Your group moves through a
sequence of connected environments, progresses through the story, and ultimately exits through an alternate door. Cinematic set design. Original puzzles. A narrative that gives the whole experience context and momentum.
We built every room ourselves from the ground up. Not a franchise. Not a template. Every game exists because someone had an idea for an experience that could not be found anywhere else and then spent months making it real.
Five Experiences to Choose From
• Raiders of the Lost Room II: The Rooms of Doom. Large-scale adventure inspired by classic treasure hunt films. Our most complex game, built for groups who want to work for it.
• Sherlock Holmes and The Haunted Mansion. A supernatural detective mystery set in an eerie Connecticut manor. Atmospheric, story-rich, and consistently one of our most-reviewed games.
• The Hungover Games. Party game-inspired mayhem woven into a real escape room structure. Funny, physical, and surprisingly devious. A crowd favorite for birthday parties.
• The Strangest Things. Sci-fi conspiracy thriller. Think government cover-ups, unexplained phenomena, and a story that gets better the more attention your group pays.
• Jurassic Jungle. Our most accessible adventure with hands-on physical challenges. Great for families, first-timers, and groups with mixed experience levels.
Private, BYOB, and Built for
Your Group
Every booking at REACT is completely private. Your group gets the experience to yourselves for the full sixty minutes. No strangers. No shared lobbies mid-game. Just the people you brought and the clock.
We are BYOB. Bring your own drinks and food and turn the whole thing into an event. We have a full event space available for groups who want to extend the party after the game ends (for an additional charge). We routinely host East Hartford corporate teams, birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette
groups, and family celebrations.
