What parents say
"I haven't done other escape rooms but Fox in a Box is a great time! Fun MCs, interesting puzzles, and just very cool props and room setup. Started with Zodiac Killer which was very elaborate, challenging, and realistically spooky! We had to come back for more. Prison Break and Nuclear Bunker were easier but still required creative thinking and teamwork to get through. Daniel and Carl are awesome! I will keep coming back for all the new rooms."

"I recently returned to Fox In A Box and had another fantastic experience! This time, we did The Other Side room, and it was an absolute blast. Our game master, Daniel, was amazing super enthusiastic, helpful when needed, and really added to the overall experience. You can tell he loves what he does, and it made our escape room adventure even better. The puzzles were challenging but well-designed, and the atmosphere was immersive. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging escape room, I highly recommend this place, and be sure to ask for Daniel!"
