The Candy Shoppe

This room was an absolute blast! The design was fantastic, and the puzzles were very well thought out. My group had a wide range of experience levels, and the challenges were engaging and fun for everyone. There were some awesome surprise elements throughout the room, and I really loved that the puzzles went beyond the typical lock-and-key format and incorporated a variety of creative mechanics. The overall gameplay flowed extremely well and kept us fully engaged the entire time. We didn’t need many clues, but our game master, Julie, was amazing—super friendly, attentive, and always ready with helpful hints at just the right moments. The room and facility were spotless, all the puzzles worked perfectly, and everything felt well maintained. The owners, Frank and Christina, were incredibly welcoming, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about providing an excellent experience. I can’t wait to come back and try their other rooms!

Great game. Super bright and fun. A great option for groups with kids/beginners!

We had such a fun time. Very well thought out and great game flow.

My favorite of the rooms here. Everything was on theme and I liked the puzzles. It was pretty clear what went with what and I loved the creativity of some of the later puzzles in the room. When we finished they also gave me a card that they had drawn since it was my birthday and we did all the rooms there. I had a blast.

Super original theme, very whimsical and lots of bright colors. You can tell a lot of love went into the design of the room! The puzzles felt very unique and satisfying to solve.

Happy Birthday to me! So, we came here specifically for my brithday and my wife and I took on the Candy Shop. Let me tell you, this game is in mu top 5 rooms of all time. The puzzles are really solid and well executed. They also flow with utter perfection. This room will be fun for experienced players and delightful fot newer players. If this is your first game, you are in for a treat. Personal Note: If you like escaperooms and want to talk to someone about them, Frank is the man. I'd have stayed all night to get suggestions! His partber Christina is also the sweetest person ever and equally as knowledgable. They are the best owners I've met on New Jersey! Play all tbis games two or three tomes each! #Respect!

Loved this! Really cute theme, both story and decorations. The decor was amazing, very clean, thoughtful, and fun. The puzzles were pretty straightforward so it was a perfect one to let kids lead. We brought 9-12 year olds and barely participated, just watched and enjoyed the atmosphere!

The game made you feel immersed in the theme! If you love being drawn into the realm and magic of escape rooms, this room hit the nail on the head 1000%. All the puzzles were challenging but none were impossible. The game masters at this location are all phenomenal and highly intelligent on the system of escape rooms. Communication with them was great and I felt that I got the best escape room experience I could’ve asked for at this location. I had completed my 100th escape room here and the staff made it extremely memorable. Thank you so much Christina and Frank! We will be sure to tell everyone about your fantastic business!

All the escape rooms at Puzzle Connect (created by Christina and Frank on Nov. 2023) are beautiful and well-rounded experiences. Their heart and consideration for both the rooms and players are so evident. I would recommend Puzzle Connect to everyone. My personal favorite was The Candy Shoppe because of its visual appeal. It starts off easy and picks up towards the middle and end.

This escape room was simply magical to play. From the playful puzzles to the soft cheerful soundtrack (including instrumentals from Willy wonka chocolate factory), you can’t help but just feel good playing this one. The puzzles themselves range from very easy to moderately difficult, well paced as the game progresses. Best candy themed room I’ve played so far.
