"I cracked the code And I knew what it's all about"…read more(Steely Dan) Escape Rooms have been around since the 2010's. I had never been to one until yesterday when a professional organization I belong to brought seventeen of us to CodeWord Escape in Rocky Hill. It was a chance for me to try out my puzzle solving and teamwork skills, and it turned out to be a blast! I was pleased to have contributed one key discovery to help us get a lock combination. We split our group into two, and my group went into the King Midas Room. Our scenario involved solving a series of puzzles and riddles to find the magic lamp that turned King Midas' daughter into a solid gold statue. Solving the puzzle included opening up half a dozen wooden chests with a variety of locks -keyed locks, letter combination locks, and number combination locks. We had to find hidden roses, hidden swords, and hidden ducks, and decipher the lock combinations. They are clues everywhere in plain sight -you and your team have to use your brain power to decipher the clues and apply them to the lock combinations. As our adventure unfurled, a door in our room magically appeared to reveal a second room, and then a third room. I won't give away any clues and will just boast that we easily beat the one hour of time allotted to us to solve the puzzle and restore the young princess from her golden tomb. Our host was a pleasant young man who briefed us and offered clues upon request. The location has three different Escape Room scenarios and not a lot else -so there is no snack bar or refreshment stand. But if you want to have some fun with your friends and exercise that gray matter between your ears, I'm pretty sure you'll have as much fun as I did.

The kids had a blast and staff was so helpful and made the party flawless. One of my neices was afraid of the dark so they turned the lights on, except for clues that we needed them off to see. I returned with my kids post-covid when things started opening up again and this time had the opportunity to really focus on the puzzles instead of the party. Embarrassed to say it was challenging for me but luckily my kids were smart enough to solve it lol.

So much fun and very challenging! We will definitely be back to try a different game soon!!read more

The puzzles were very challenging while still being really fun. The owner is incredibly passionate about the experience and does everything he can to make it a memorable and fun experience.

So glad to have them as part of the community!

Ownership has switched hands, and I believe I had a group on both times I went, if you're looking to save a few bucks. My only complaint (at all) would be that it was a little bit warmer than I would've liked, especially once you're moving around and actually doing any sort of activity. Now that that's over, let's talk about the good parts! The axe throwing is super fun, and we all enjoyed it after learning about the rules and safety tips then learning how to hold the axe correctly and throw it, and we continued to get pointers and help as needed if we were struggling throughout our allotted time. All of the stuff we encountered were friendly and personable. One great thing that we learned is a newer offering is that the pool tables, darts, and cornhole is now free! As in, pop in and buy a beer or a hard seltzer for a drink after a rough workday and relax and unwind with free activities in a clean indoor space! We will definitely be returning to take advantage because while I LOVE axe throwing, it could get expensive to do every week. The pizza place in there is different than it was the first time we went. And, it was actually not open when we went at 1 PM on a Saturday, which was fine for us because we had already eaten and had dinner plans later so we were not there for food. Our understanding is that it's a one-man show so there may only be pizza/the restaurant open during busy hours, as opposed to every time Montana Nights is open. Something to keep in mind if you're thinking about eating while visiting.

I'm so in love with you I'll be your saviour, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue" (Jagger and Richards) A professional organization I belong to was scheduled to hold an axe throwing party/charity fundraiser at Pine & Iron in Hartford last night. But two and a half days ago, they contacted us to cancel because they had closed their doors for good. We didn't want to cancel the event, so what were we to do? Well, Montana Nights came to our rescue and 20 of us had a blast. Our Guardian Angel was manager Carolyn, who worked in a slot for our group, arranged an instructor, pizza and sandwiches from Square Peg, and drink tickets from their bar (beer and axes, what could go wrong?). Anyway, we had a freaking blast at Montana Nights. Our instructor Kyle was great. He gave us a safety talk, demonstrated one hand and two hand throwing techniques, and broke us into two teams for some axe flinging fun. We threw at a conventional bulls eye target, an unconventional bulls eye target where the center moved around, and Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four variations. I threw ten axes in warm ups, and then 20 axes in two ten-frame 4-person team contests. I stuck one out of ten in the warm ups, just one in Game #1, but improved significantly by sticking 4 in the second game. I even had a center Bulls Eye!! By the way, the food from Square Peg was great - lots of different pizzas, grinders cut into fours, and a big salad. Thank you Carolyn and Kyle for saving our event. It was a charity collection event where our members donated new clothing, toys, and household supplies for Madonna House in Norwich, CT. I would love to see Yelp incorporate more of some sort of charity collections at our events. Sort of a "Pay It Forward" philosophy. Everyone can afford to bring a few cans of soup or tuna to donate to a group that needs them.
