Escape Room near Hartford, CT
If you are looking for an escape room near Hartford, CT, you are about 15 minutes from the best one in New England.
REACT Premium Escape Rooms sits in Windsor Locks, right off I-91, directly between Hartford and Springfield. We have been here since 2015. If you have lived in the Hartford area for more than a few years there is a decent chance someone you know has already played one of our games. We host tens of thousands of groups every year. The rooms win awards. The reviews speak for themselves.
But here is what actually separates us from every other escape room near Hartford: we do not do the thing where you stand in one locked box and find keys. Every REACT adventure is a multi-room experience where your team moves through a series of connected environments, each one building on the last, toward a final objective and an actual alternate exit. It feels like stepping into a movie. That is intentional. That has been the whole point since day one.
Five Adventures, One Location
We currently run five experiences in our Windsor Locks facility, each one designed from scratch with a distinct theme, difficulty level, and character. You are not picking from a menu of generic puzzle rooms. Every game at REACT was built by hand, wired by hand, and tested hundreds of times before anyone paid to play it.
-
Raiders of the Lost Room II: The Rooms of Doom. Our largest and most complex adventure. An Indiana Jones-inspired treasure hunt through a mysterious forest cabin. Best for experienced groups or large parties.
-
Sherlock Holmes and The Haunted Mansion. A supernatural detective mystery set in a Connecticut manor. Atmospheric, narrative-driven, and genuinely spooky without being a haunted house.
-
The Hungover Games. Party-game-inspired puzzles woven into an escape room format. Intentionally ridiculous. Perfect for groups who want to laugh as much as they want to solve.
-
The Strangest Things. Conspiracies, government secrets, and things that should not exist. For fans of science fiction and the unexplained.
-
Jurassic Jungle. Our most family-friendly adventure with real physical challenges woven into the gameplay.
Private Bookings Only
Every game at REACT is a private experience. Your group gets the room to yourselves for the full sixty minutes. No strangers added to your booking to fill a slot. No awkward introductions in the lobby. Just your people, the story, and the clock.
This matters more than it sounds. The dynamic inside a locked room changes completely when everyone knows each other. The communication is different. The laughter is different. The moment when someone finally cracks the puzzle that had everyone stumped for ten minutes is different. We made the private-only decision early and we have never second-guessed it.
Hartford Groups, Corporate Teams, and Everything In Between
We are the go-to team building destination for companies throughout the Hartford metro. Law firms, insurance companies, hospital departments, tech teams, marketing agencies. If your office is in Hartford and you need something that actually gets people talking to each other, we have been doing this longer than almost anyone in the state.
We accommodate groups from 2 to 100 and above. If you need to run multiple rooms simultaneously for a large corporate event, we can do that. If you want to add food and drinks and make a night of it, we are BYOB. If you want a dedicated event coordinator to help you plan the whole thing, call us.
Getting Here from Hartford
From downtown Hartford, take I-91 North to Exit 40 in Windsor Locks. We are at 1 Corporate Drive, Suite 102, about a half mile from the highway. There is ample free parking. The drive is typically 12 to 18 minutes depending on traffic. If you are coming from the eastern suburbs, East Hartford, Manchester, or Glastonbury, you are looking at roughly 20 to 25 minutes. From the south side of Hartford or Wethersfield, plan for 20 minutes.
We are also directly adjacent to Bradley International Airport, which makes us an unusual but genuinely great option for groups arriving from out of town or travelers with a few hours to kill between flights.
Book Your Hartford Escape Room Experience
Availability fills quickly on weekends, especially for larger groups. If you have a specific date in mind, book it. Walk-ins are welcome when space is available but reservations are always the safer call. You can book online at REACTescaperooms.com or call us at 860-370-5415.
