71 escape rooms
This is our second room at PuzzleConnect. After finding them on Morty driving from NYC back to Philly, they have become a must visit location for us. This room was densely packed full of puzzles and an absolute blast to play! The thoughtfulness that the designers put into this game from the lighting, the sound design, to set decorating was the real highlight for me. The logic that PuzzleConnect shows in their designs is truly a stand out. Conveying the “why” behind a solution without hand holding or overt written clues is an art, one mastered in the two rooms we have played here. From the onboarding to the conclusion, theme and theatrics radiate from this game. So many moments made us smile, pause, and laugh. The solutions to the puzzles felt gratifying and the room flowed incredibly well. It was very manageable for two experienced players to finish without feeling the crunch of the clock but felt like a very full, rewarding experience. JQ who ran our game was incredibly kind and offered us a hint at an appropriate time and listened to us when we asked to be sparing with unsolicited help. We met one of the owners, Christina, at our first game and met the other owner, Frank at this game and both were so welcoming and wanted to chat about escape rooms and design. If you have kids, their Candy Shoppe room is an absolute must play, but if you’re a group of adults, I think this is a can’t miss room if you’re anywhere near central Jersey!
