Mark as done to rate

The justice system is flawed and imperfect. You discover this first-hand having been sentenced to life in prison, without chance of parole, for a crime you did not commit. All requests for appeals have been denied. The only path to freedom is to breakout, but you are in a maximum-security cell and are constantly monitored. Suddenly, a riot erupts in another prison block. Your guard has left his post. This is your only chance for liberty. Are you quick-witted and resourceful enough to escape?

Very welcoming game master with a very emersive environment. Game master played the part of the worden well and was super nice when we got stuck. This escape room was one of my favorites if not my favorite along with one of the best game masters I've ever had.

Fox in the box is not the highest production value but always always the best GMs. They’re always in character making people feel welcome and safe. fox in the box is one of the best escape rooms in the city

Not your average prison game! I like how they made a conscious effort to differentiate from others I’ve seen throughout the US.

This was our first prison break style escape room; We had a great time! We enjoyed the additional challenge of being physically separated but still collaborating for a portion of the game play.

Pretty standard prison breakout experience. A couple minor surprises, but didn't seem quite as fun as some of the other Fox in a Box games. I'm a bit surprised that it's a TERPECA nominee.

I was disappointed with this one. There were puzzles that were good and others that literally weren’t even used at all (leftovers from changing things). We wasted time on these puzzles and barely escaped.

First of all, our game master Marina was unbelievably awesome. But they were the best thing about this room. It's a bit of a padlock fest and there's nothing all that challenging or exciting about it except the very beginning. For people new to escape rooms, I'm sure it's great. But if your standards are high, you may find this one disappointing.

Puzzles made sense, but were too easy.

  • Puzzles weren’t particularly challenging or exciting... utilized the environment in some fun ways.
