Not your average escape rooms! The owners really must love this stuff. You think it looks easy as you walk into the room but looks are deceiving.My husband and I brought our two best friends and we played dooms day. It was so Much fun and so intricate. We are coming back this weekend to do another one!

This place will blow your mind. It is not a typical escape room. The owner is a genius. I have to admit- we needed some clues. Can’t wait to try another one!

We had a great time at Escape 101 for my sisters birthday! Our game master was fun and animated. She was very patient with all of our questions and made sure we had a good time. We loved the flight room but cant wait to try the ice cream room next! The flight room was great for beginners but challenging for those whove done escape rooms before. We will definitely go back!

We did the ice cream truck room back in February for a birthday and came back this past weekend to try the victim number 7 room. We were able to make it out in time but it was a big task for our group. The kids were engaged for the whole hour and we had a lot of fun. Well worth returning to.

Great fun! Had a blast with family at the Escape 101 last month. The staff was friendly, place was clean and game was exciting! We had two rooms to fit our large group and both rooms were challenging (Ice Cream Truck and Jet Set) but we got out! Fun for kids and adults. Definitely looking forward to going back and would recommend to anyone looking to try something new!

Their rooms are not detailed at all. I have done over 30 escape rooms and this is one of my least favorite. For there Jet Set room you are basically in a white room with at lease 20 locks. Also, their Doomsday room is basic. There was one puzzle that was not working and the game master had to come into our room over 4 times to fix it. He had to come in with a power tool to try and fix it. There is no detail and you do not feel immersed. All of these puzzles are basic and there are no electronic puzzles. Also, all of there rooms are single-roomed and small. This makes the game boring. Their customer service is great but I feel like the owners did not put time and care into the rooms and they dont care if players have a good experience. I would suggest going to a different place.

Weve now done two of the rooms (Doomsday and Victim #7 ), both of which were fun and challenging. Ive done several escape rooms and this was definitely a good one.

Phenomenal place! Took my kids and some friends there. Everyone had a blast. Kids are 9 and 8 they were zoo fired up as they progressed through the game. Staff was incredible. They were not at all intrusive but helped the game along in a very appropriate way. Great place!

Review №12

Easily the most fun I’ve ever had on a group date. The staff was beyond helpful, professional, and made the overall experience a 10/10. We went into jetset and our Game Master was on top of everything! I can’t wait to come back and do a different room. The room was spotless and perfectly organized. Cannot imagine having a better staff, a better room, or a better time there. 100% would recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you to Escape 101 for going above and beyond!

Great service, terrible puzzles. After failing our room, our attendant informed us that the room had a 20% escape rate. Ok so its a hard room... BUT no one has escaped with less than 5 external clues from the room attendant! So thats really a 0% true solve rate. Thats not a challenging puzzle, its just a bad one. As an alternative to hearing the rest of the solution (which was comically lengthy and complex compared to other rooms Ive done), we were offered a 30% coupon to come back and try the room again. I guess thats the business model.. build unsolvable rooms and incentivize customers to keep coming back to retry until they finish. We actually got refunded 50% after someone else in our party left a similar review, so again great service.. but PLEASE build better puzzles. Step up the creative use of electronic triggers rather than just packing the room with various combination locks.

Really fun afternoon activity with three boys. It was our first time in any sort of escape room, so we needed some handholding.Got the hang of it and began really working as a team. Boys were talking about it endlessly even the next day. Enthusiastic and thoughtful staff, clean facility made for an all around terrific time.

Took 3 kids, aged 5,8, & 13. They had so much fun! We escaped a few minutes before time was up. Rooms are clean, bright and well designed with puzzles that keep you moving. Staff was very friendly and professional. Shout out to Catelin and Mars!

A great price. Its a little cheaper if you go during the week. It was my first time at this location and definitely will be back. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful throughout the process. I couldnt ask for a better experience!

My siblings and I took our mother here for Mothers day. The staff was friendly, informative, and helpful. The Doomsday room didnt feel too difficult or too easy, although we used a fair bit of hints. Overall a super fun experience.

Review №23

My friends and I had a great time. The whole thing was well thought-out and very entertaining. I’ve been to other escape rooms that weren’t as well thought out, this one was really well done. I’m coming back and doing another one. 10/10

Entertaining and difficult. The smallest room is very hard and requires a lot of teamwork and communication in order to complete. Great setup, great explanation, and good fun for a group of friends, coworkers, clubs, etc.. The young woman working as the game keeper was fantastic - funny, did a great job of explaining the theme, tasks, and helping us with our clues. My office went as a team-building exercise and had way more fun than anticipated and gained a lot from the experience. I would love to try it again with a larger group!

I had a great time. The were a lot of puzzles to do and they were pretty different. It is very original and in a great building. I would have like to have seen a better story arch for the room but it was still great.

I tried Escape 101 with my friends. We hadnt had a girls night out in quite a while. We may or may not have had a couple drinks before hand. It was FUN!!! Sure enough we didnt make it out of the room in time, but still had a blast. Super cool place

I have been to couple places with this kind of entertainment, but by far this is the best one. Its located in a great location, the customer service was great. the staffs were friendly unlike other places where the person doesnt even want to be there. The game was challenging but fun. if youre in the greater danbury area or near by I would high suggest you stop by here to test your skill.

Review №46

The game and puzzles were perfect. The staff could work on selling the story of the room though. The biggest problem is the people in your group. So bring as many friends with you as you can.

It was fun but I would recommend going with only people you know. We went with a group of ladies and there were 3 other people in there with us (one was a kid) who have been to multiple escape rooms before.

Excellent!!! The person is really nice and the room is so realistic for a non themed escape room. At least the one I was in. That was my first time at an escape room.
