Bunker

We went back to Fox in a Box to tackle ‘Bunker’, a challenging Cold War experience. Theming was great, as is the case with all Fox in a Box rooms, and the puzzles were diverse and tricky! Loved the props and flow of the game throughout. They say it’s their toughest room — it’s worth taking the challenge.

At the time of this review, I’ve done 20 escape rooms. Bunker was the most unforgiving & difficult room I’ve done so far. The first room has so much information available to you when you start that it took the two of us our first 10 minutes to discover a starting point. So many things are also arguably very well hidden that it’s also very easy to miss things. One puzzle in the room also includes arguably breaking usual escape room conventions by disassembling something, and I thought it was unfair, if this was implemented differently (and was doable by someone with nails), and/or had a ‘open me’ or something like that instead would be a whole lot better.

One of the first rooms we didn’t make it out of, had a great theme, found some puzzles hard to link together!

Bit of a let down once you have done the other fox in the box rooms.

Enjoyed it but definitely harder than I first thought! Only got out with 15 seconds remaining but we did it!
