The experience

About this quest

On your first day as a new hire at the ​New London Nuclear Power Plant, you’re assigned to Reactor 4 – an old, dark, and grungy section known for its flawless safety record... until today.

Suddenly, a catastrophic Code Red emergency! Alarms blare, bells ring, and smoke fills the plant.

You must repair all critical systems and stabilize the nuclear core before disaster strikes. 

Do you have the skills and courage to save the day? 

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Escape room fans, friends, couples and families with older children or teens get a fictional nuclear plant emergency to solve with medium-level puzzles, on a free walk of about two hours and 3.3 km through downtown New London past the Maritime Museum and Eugene O'Neill's statue. Anyone wanting a guided history tour or a quick stroll should pick something else, since the story is invented and the walk fills most of an afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Shekinah and finishes at Church Of Our Redeemer, so it does not end where it began. On the way you pass St. Mary Star of the Sea Church, the Historical Society, the Maritime Museum, Eugene O'Neill's Statue, St. James Episcopal Church and Williams Park, among other stops.
