The Chamber of Lost Legends

As a massive Indiana Jones fan, I was excited at the prospect of Fox in a Box directing their stunning environment designers towards crumbling temples, ancient artefacts and wondrous myths. It wasn’t quite what I expected, but I wasn’t disappointed by any means. In place of Aztec ruins and buildings of yesteryear, a sci-fi crossover builds within ‘The Chamber of Lost Legends’. While the title itself didn’t seem to be explained — or at least, not from my time within the experience — there were archaeological elements injected into the game that shone best as props. The story spoke of exciting Spielberg-esque grand stakes and a riveting rising action-into-climax, but felt smaller in actuality. The puzzles flowed relatively well, with some unclear signposting as to where some answers are inputted, or how specific props interact together. Others didn’t reflect the stakes and narrative of the game and seemed to be inserted into the sequence as thematic puzzles but fell short of diegesis. With all that being said, many were very enjoyable and employed technology very intuitively without behooving the experience. Fox in a Box stand as one of the most impressive franchises I have had the pleasure to experience so far. I look forward to their next games — I just hope they aren’t too far away!

Solid concept but a few kinks need to be worked out with a few flaws along the way. Excellent variation of puzzles not just a bunch of locks to find the keys for. If the kinks are fixed then it will be quite a good room (not sure if this is an ongoing thing or just during our experience). Fox in a box definitely has better rooms

This room was cool, definitely a different kind of theme than what we’ve encountered previously. Room had good flow and was easy to complete with two people. Lots of different kinds of puzzles, mainly high tech but a few mechanical
