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!

Me and a few friends did the zodiac killer room. Carl explained everything really well to us and was great providing hints when we needed it. As for the experience itself, pretty damn crazy and cool for sure. Give Carl a raise 🙏🙏

We went as a group of four and did the Bunker, Tesla, and the Other Side. The rooms were great but I personally liked the Other Side the best. The person managing our rooms was super helpful and quick to respond to our questions. I'm looking forward to completing all the rooms this location
