Escape Room near Newington, CT
If you are in Newington and looking for an escape room worth your evening, REACT Premium Escape Rooms in Windsor Locks is twenty minutes up I-91 and consistently one of the most talked-about escape room experiences in the state. We have been here since 2015. Newington groups find us through word of mouth more than anything else. That tells you something.
Newington sits at the southern edge of the Hartford metro, which puts you in excellent driving distance of our Windsor Locks facility and close to absolutely nothing comparable in quality between here and there. Twenty minutes north. That is the whole equation.
Built Different
Every adventure at REACT is a multi-room experience. Your group moves through a sequence of hand-built environments, each one connected to the next, working toward a final objective and an alternate exit. Not one room with a padlock. An actual adventure with a beginning, a middle, and an ending you earn by working together against the clock.
Every game was designed and constructed in-house by the people who run this facility. The sets were built by hand. The puzzles were engineered from original concepts. Nothing was purchased from an escape room supplier or inherited from a franchise manual. If you have played escape rooms before and found them underwhelming, REACT is the corrective experience.
Five Games Running Now
• Raiders of the Lost Room II: The Rooms of Doom. Our biggest adventure. A layered treasure hunt through a mysterious cabin setting. Best for larger groups and experienced players.

Private, BYOB, Accommodates Any Size Group
Every game at REACT is a completely private booking. Your group. Your clock. No strangers sharing your adventure. We are BYOB for parties and events, and our on-site event space accommodates groups that want to extend the celebration after the game. We have hosted Newington birthday parties, corporate team building events, bachelorette groups, and family
reunions.
