Mark as done to rate

For years you watched as your grandfather grew his candy shoppe into the most popular scene in town. From jawbreakers to fudge squares Grandpa sold it all. Many delicacies you would find on the shelves were the brand names you’ve always known and loved. However, what made the candy shoppe so popular wasn’t the Whirly Pops, it was the chocolate! Grandpa was always careful not to leave his famous chocolate recipe lying around for just any eyes to see, for this treasured family heirloom was hidden with care. With retirement growing near, Grandpa has left it to you to continue his legacy. Becoming the newest owners of the shoppe won’t be easy but it will be sweet! Enter Grandpa’s candy shoppe to explore the magic, secrets and puzzles that will test your wit and lead you to the coveted chocolate recipe!

Happy Birthday to me! So, we came here specifically for my brithday and my wife and I took on the Candy Shop. Let me tell you, this game is in mu top 5 rooms of all time. The puzzles are really solid and well executed. They also flow with utter perfection. This room will be fun for experienced players and delightful fot newer players. If this is your first game, you are in for a treat. Personal Note: If you like escaperooms and want to talk to someone about them, Frank is the man. I'd have stayed all night to get suggestions! His partber Christina is also the sweetest person ever and equally as knowledgable. They are the best owners I've met on New Jersey! Play all tbis games two or three tomes each! #Respect!

Loved this! Really cute theme, both story and decorations. The decor was amazing, very clean, thoughtful, and fun. The puzzles were pretty straightforward so it was a perfect one to let kids lead. We brought 9-12 year olds and barely participated, just watched and enjoyed the atmosphere!

The game made you feel immersed in the theme! If you love being drawn into the realm and magic of escape rooms, this room hit the nail on the head 1000%. All the puzzles were challenging but none were impossible. The game masters at this location are all phenomenal and highly intelligent on the system of escape rooms. Communication with them was great and I felt that I got the best escape room experience I could’ve asked for at this location. I had completed my 100th escape room here and the staff made it extremely memorable. Thank you so much Christina and Frank! We will be sure to tell everyone about your fantastic business!

All the escape rooms at Puzzle Connect (created by Christina and Frank on Nov. 2023) are beautiful and well-rounded experiences. Their heart and consideration for both the rooms and players are so evident. I would recommend Puzzle Connect to everyone. My personal favorite was The Candy Shoppe because of its visual appeal. It starts off easy and picks up towards the middle and end.

This escape room was simply magical to play. From the playful puzzles to the soft cheerful soundtrack (including instrumentals from Willy wonka chocolate factory), you can’t help but just feel good playing this one. The puzzles themselves range from very easy to moderately difficult, well paced as the game progresses. Best candy themed room I’ve played so far.

Went for Father's Day with my sons & my girlfriend. It was also her first time doing an escape room. It was a lot of fun. Not the most challenging one we've ever done, but still a lot of fun. We will definitely be back.

Simple but so fun. The staff was overwhelmingly welcoming. This room is perfect for young escapees or new players. Would love a lock but overall excellent :)

Gameplay

Puzzles flowed seamlessly. It was a bit simple but would be excellent for newer players who are still learning! Very logical all mechanics worked flawlessly :)

Atmosphere

The owners were so nice and chatted with us about strategy and other rooms in the area. They were so sweet and really made us feel welcomed 💜

All three PuzzleConnect rooms (Candy, Christmas, and Temple) are fantastic, though I really appreciated the unique theme of the Candy Shoppe. You can tell the room was designed with love, and it feels like a boutique experience with beautiful custom decorations and fun puzzles. We were celebrating a special occasion when playing the game, and the staff went out of their way to help us commemorate it

Another fantastic room by puzzle escape. This room would be a perfect introduction to escape room for new players or kids but may be on the easier side for experienced players. Room was super wholesome and would recommend to anyone
