  • Puzzle Break Newton is an interactive, real-life escape room experience designed to be fun and challenging while testing you and your team’s mental prowess. You and your team have 60 minutes to solve puzzles, find the key, and escape the room! Teamwork and logic are the only things that will get you through our rooms before the clock strikes zero! Join in with your family, friends, or coworkers, and see if your team has what it takes to proudly claim that you’ve escaped!

    The Puzzle Break games are so innovative and fun that you can even find them on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships.

  • Not to worry, if your team is having trouble during a game, our expert Game Hosts are there to help! If your team wishes to accept them, our Game Hosts have a few hints that can help move your game along. But make sure to use them wisely, because we only offer a limited amount of hints. And if you can’t escape the room in time… don’t worry, we promise to let you out!

  • Tickets for our regularly scheduled events are $35.00 per player and they must be purchased in advance HERE.

  • Not at all! Our games require participants to have the mental strength to escape, combining logic and teamwork. Physical strength and stamina are not required to escape the room. There is no heavy lifting, climbing, or force required to play any of our games.

FAQ

STRATEGY

1. Communication is KEY!  The smartest teams routinely fail when they do not talk to each other. The most puzzle-challenged teams often succeed if they possess superior communication skills. A certain path to failure is failing to communicate! Fully or partially solving a puzzle, while another teammate uses their precious time to replicate your work will ultimately lead to your team being unable to escape.

2. Don't be afraid to leave something and come back to it later. There are a wide variety of puzzles in our rooms: some big, some small. While some folks excel at certain types of puzzles, others do not. So, don’t be afraid to move on to the next puzzle if your team is struggling.

3. There are some easy to find clues and there are some hard to find clues, so make sure you search the room thoroughly.

4. Listen to your Game Host! They are in the room to help provide some direction and might just drop a few important hints throughout the experience. The most successful teams make these hints the highest priority - and make sure to share them with their teammates!
