We gave this a try for my recent birthday and did the secret agent room. My group has done a decent…read morenumber of escape rooms over the years, so we've seen the gamut. I would say this room was fairly straightforward (we were done in 39 minutes) but it had some interesting bits I hadn't encountered before. It was all in one room, which I haven't seen in a while, and the walls were very thin, so you can definitely hear the other rooms, which might be distracting. I would say, on the topic of immersion and the story making sense, there's space for improvement, especially the conclusion of the the room we did. However, on a positive note, I think these rooms are accessible to smaller groups, and I like that considering you can't always get a bunch of people together. 2-4 people? I think you have a shot of enjoying yourself here.

Magical man was SO kind and accommodating for us for my daughter's 11th birthday. We arrived a bit late and disorganized but because no one was behind our group, No Escape accommodated our group and let us start the Carnival late. When my husband bailed, because he was not feeling it with a group of 11yo, he graciously refunded his admission. The challenges were fun, help was available if needed, and the customer service was stellar. Highly recommend!

Excellent day! My group of 5 was paired with another…read moresimilarly sized group for a 2-hour zipline adventure. There were 5 or 6 lines ranging in length from about 50 feet to 700 feet. The 700 foot line is awesome. In between there is a high-ropes "intermission" when you can choose between some "broken bridges" or a net obstacle and tightripe. After that my group did a Tree Climb which is a physically demanding challenge to get up very high trees, swing from ropes, etc. Unlike the zipline which is just fun adrenaline, the tree climb requires some real exertion and I would not recommend it for those who are afraid of heights or who are not physically active on a regular basis. The guides for the adventure were all great. They were encouraging, made us feel safe, and made an effort to learn our names. It was a great experience all around and I would recommend this as an activity for anyone.

Make sure you come here with clothes and sneakers to wear in the woods if you partake in the entire experience. So first we did the ziplining and it was great - we zipped through about 6 lines of varying lengths and a couple of them had obstacles like a broken bridge or a tight-rope walk. Then we did the treeclimb. One entailed swinging from tree to tree until you got to the top, and the other one was to climb a very old, very large tree. The third thing we did was the scavenger hunt, which was great because we traveled through the entire premises to get clues to each station to accrue points and ultimately defeat our adversaries. lol The service and friendliness of the staff was top notch. They made us feel pretty comfortable and were having a good time along with us as well as guiding us through a fun, safe experience. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for adventure and a good time with a group of friends.

We started with 30 minutes and ended up doing 1hour because we were having so much fun. Owners are awesome! It was a fun experience for sure and it was something different. Great for families and for children ( not too young tho)! Check them out! It's definitely worth it and different. I forget to mention they go through the rules, they give you eye wear, they have ice packs, just incase. Don't be alarmed or scared but they are prepared and go over everything just incase! Service was excellent. I recommend checking them Out while they are there! It's worth it to try for sure!

The park has multiple parking lots with one main entrance. Parking was easy, but I definitely recommend completing the online waiver before you arrive; it makes the check-in process much faster. I also suggest purchasing your tickets in advance since popular dates can sell out. There were so many water activities to choose from that everyone in the family could find something fun to do. I was impressed by how many lifeguards were stationed throughout the park, which made me feel that safety was a priority. The atmosphere was lively, family-friendly, and full of people enjoying the day. There's an open-air food court with a variety of food, drinks and seating area. The scenery is beautiful, and the former quarry makes for a unique backdrop you won't find at a typical water park. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Wear water shoes; they'll make walking around much more comfortable. * Bring sunscreen, towels, and plenty of water. * Complete your waiver and buy your tickets online before arriving to save time. * Check the park's website before your visit for hours, weather updates, and any activity restrictions. Overall, Brownstone is a great destination for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for an adventurous summer day in Connecticut. I'd definitely come back!

Reserve ahead of time especially on weekend days when it's hot out because they do sell out. It's crowded in the picnic areas but we were having so much fun in the water we barely got out. If you are overweight or not reasonably athletic you will probably want to bring a chair. Our favorite parts were the highest zip lines and the big slide because the wait time was more reasonable for both. We got wakeboarding passes but it was so crowded and slow moving we didn't even try. The crowds thin out after 4 so if you don't want to spend all day come after noon. 10-11am and you are waiting in line to get in even if you did the waiver in advance.

The previous owner is a very friendly guy who builds all his rooms. The waiting area could use some updating. There's not much high tech materials used but he did stuck to the theme in terms of the props he used. Although there's a few props in there that needed some updating as some were torn by other players. The great thing about this location is that even if you have two people you can still book the room as a private party. We went back another time and this time in their "Secret Agent" room. We had three people this time and was able to book it as a private party. Most of the puzzles were operated by number locks. The puzzles were quite linear and a bit easier than the "Alien Abduction" room that we tried. There were a few "tools" we've never encountered in this room that was clever and well incorporated into this theme. Overall, it's a great beginner room to tackle. Finishing off with their last room with four people in the "Quest For The Throne" room. Most of the puzzles were operated by number locks which we don't mind as long as they are logical which in this room they were. The hint system is quite unique as he basically puts the hints in correspondence with the puzzle folders. So it's extremely tempting to look at since they are right there and the hints are pretty much unlimited. We did use a few, but definitely tried to refrain from any temptation. The design was minimal to the theme but there was one "cool" gadget. It seems like sometimes it may be a bit "stuck" depending on how you use it. We did appreciate that the room didn't have too many red herrings and it was direct and to the point. The "Quest For The Throne" is definitely recommended for beginner escapers to try. *Since we've played at this location, the owner have changed and the name has also changed so we're not sure if the room's condition has been revamped or not.
