Fredericksburg Gets New Escape Room

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — If you're into room-sized puzzles, you're in luck. Connect Games Escape Room opened in downtown Fredericksburg on Feb. 16 and offers a chance for puzzle lovers to figure out how to escape.

Up to eight people at a time will be able to participate, locked in a 13- by 15-foot room. Groups have 45 minutes to discover the secret to escaping.

“Connect Games is a great place for people to connect with each other and have a fun time, all without having to be on their phones,” owner Kristen Sill said in a news release, Fredericksburg.com reported.

Sill, having managed two escape rooms, decided to start one on her own and thus Connect Games Escape Room was born, Fredericksburg.com reported.

"This past weekend and President's Day we had a great turnout," Sill told Patch. "It is definitely a challenging puzzle, but our goal is for our escape room to have multiple levels depending on whether players are experts or novices with escape rooms."

They're open Monday through Thursday from noon to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more info or to make a reservation, visit the Connect Games website. The address is 1011 Caroline St.
