Mind Factory Escape Games — Attraction in Bridgeport

I have played dozens of escape rooms across the east coast and I can say without a doubt that this was the best overall experience I have ever had. My partner and I booked this last minute as something to do on a night off, and drove over an hour to get there based on everyone else's wonderful reviews. I can say the experiences live up to the reviews. The room was fun, and a nice combination of mechanical and technical puzzles with some cool features I had never seen in rooms before. It is a truly perfect room for experts (who will get stuck and overlook some of the easy puzzles like we did) and beginners (who will get the smaller puzzles but have more tactical issues with bigger tasks).

The true standout though was David who was our Game Master (but is also the owner and game designer) who you could tell was truly passionate about making sure we had a good time and enjoyed the room and overall experience. Once he knew we were well experienced in rooms, he took the time to ask us a bit more about our preferences when playing, do we want to be redirected when we are in a rabbit hole or should we struggle? How often should he intervene if needed? Those questions already told us that he cared deeply about how we went around the room. The thing my partner and I couldn't stop talking about after we left was that David took the time to chat with us for about twenty minutes after we escaped about our experience. He wanted to know if the room felt fair, if he did a good job in his role as a GM for us, what we liked, what we didn't, and you could tell he really cared about the answers we were giving him. I know they are also in the process of building their third room and he talked about some of the process, and asked us about what we liked in rooms, and what we hated. He also wanted to make sure we agreed with the difficulty level of the room and thought it would be fun for all players.

As an experienced player you could fell Davids passion through the game, and I truly enjoyed every moment playing this room and am looking forward to playing the next two installments...

As someone who’s done a wide variety of escape rooms, the rooms at Mind Factory are hands down some of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done. If you’re looking for a place to go, definitely go here.

You can tell the amount of care that is put into the puzzles to make them unique. The rooms we’ve done so far at Mind Factory make you feel challenged as opposed to frustrated. They don’t rely on tons of number locks as the puzzles at many other escape places do.

The game master who monitors the games has been extremely attentive, and knew exactly where we were and what type of hint we needed when asked for it. The hints assisted in progressing, but never “gave us the answer”/too spoilery.

We did Breathless a while ago, and Invasion more recently. I believe it was Dave who greeted us both times, and he gave us a great rundown of what to expect, and answered our questions without spoiling any the room. Both rooms were great for our group sizes! We did Breathless with 6 people, and then Invasion with 8 people. There were always plenty of tasks to do, all which helped lead to the end goal. No one was ever just standing around.

The decorations and overall design of the rooms are also amazing. Like I said, a lot of care goes into these rooms.

All in all, really great experiences, and I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others. Our group is extremely excited to see what...

My friends recently surprised me for a visit at Mind Factory for my birthday. It was nothing short of amazing! We took the trip from Long Island, NY to Conneticut to play Invasion. The theme was sci-fi and eerie. It was executed flawlessly, creating an immersive atmosphere that kept us on edge and fully engaged throughout the entire experience.

The room itself was incredibly innovative, with puzzles and challenges that were both unique and cleverly put together. Every corner of the room held a surprise, making it one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done. The attention to detail was impressive, and you could tell a lot of thought and creativity went into designing it.

What made the experience even better was the top-notch guidance we received. The Owner Dave, is a gem and a true innovator. He is friendly, helpful, and knew exactly when to give hints. His professionalism and enthusiasm added to the overall enjoyment of our experience.

If you’re looking for an escape room that offers a perfect blend of suspense, creativity, and a great immersive experience to spend with friends, Mind Factory is the place to go. It’s an absolute must-visit for escape room enthusiasts and first-timers. It was definitely worth the trip to Conneticut! We can’t wait to come back for the other room, and any future rooms that will be designed! Thanks for the...
