Great experience

Love this place. Been twice, one with my friends and again with my family, both were great experiences. Loved our game master: Conner! Will definitely be back to play the other two rooms.

We completed 3 rooms in 1 day and broke out of all 3! We had a blast, got a free t-shirt (for completing all 4 of their rooms). My least favorite was Prison Break - I honestly liked the other 3 pretty equally. If you...More

Pleasantly Surprised

I believe I reviewed Fox in a Box before based on my experience in their prison room, and I think I gave it a 3/5. However, escape rooms are my “thing” and since this place is so close to where I live, I decided to...More

Bumbling Robbers

My group and I did the Bank room, it was very challenging and without the interactive help there is no way we would have gotten as far as we did. We had a fun time and was so excited when we figured out another clue....More

We're so glad you had fun breaking into the Bank! Playing interactively with the Gamemaster is the way to go for new players, and we're glad you agree. Come back soon and try one of our other rooms!

Play time!

I had never done an escape room before. This was a great first experience :). I went with colleagues and we were all talking about it the next week.

Best Escape Room So Far!

We played the Prison room and the War room. Both were excellent, but the Prison was the best room I've ever played. The staff were great, and the whole set up is very professional and highly polished. I would recommend to all! Also a special...More

We're glad you had fun breaking out of Prison and stopping the missile in The Bunker! Our staff is awesome and Ryuta and Katie are great examples. Two rooms down and two to go! We hope to see you back soon.

Had a really great time!

Played the Bunker scenario, with Libby as our ‘handler.’ There was a great mix of different puzzle types, and Libby provided great help after I stupidly created an unsolvable situation.

Thank mej5gx

We're happy you had a great time in The Bunker! Libby is an excellent Gamemaster, and we're glad she was able to help you through your "troubles." We hope to see you back soon!

We're glad you had fun with The Bank and The Prison, and that you agree with us that private bookings are a better way to play escape rooms. We can't wait until you come back to play The Bunker and The Lab!

when you go in the room are you being recorded on camera or is private? Don't really want to run around like idiots for other people's entertainment.

Correct! Just as Candice said above - we do not record you, but our Game Masters will follow you over a camera and microphone. This is just so we can give you appropriate hints and can follow how you are progressing through... More

I am considering this experience for my team at work, but my colleague is somewhat "claustrophobic." Do you have photos of the inside of the room, or any kind of description, or reviews from other claustrophobic folks, or advice from doctors on this topic?

On their website it looks like there is a max of 5 people - do you know if they allow 6?

Answer

We have just completed a reorganization of all of our rooms with additions, removals and changes to some of the puzzles. We are now proud to say that we allow 6 players as a standard.
