For years there have been rumors of a shadow girl scout troop operating in the Boston and Cambridge area. Over the last week, you’ve been earning your Automotive Engineering badges in the local auto body shop. Little did you know that the auto garage is owned by the high council of this shadow troop, and they have been covertly watching you. They have hand-picked you and your team to have the chance to join their secret society, and last night, each of you received a rare invitation to meet there today. You will have one hour to prove to them you have what it takes to earn the ultimate girl scout badge, and a coveted place in their troop.

A thrilling and clever room from beginning to end. The space is immersive and very dense with interesting puzzles and interactions -- several exciting surprises. Definitely the best at Red Fox, and I think the only one at Red Fox that really competes with Boxaroo. I don't want to say much more to avoid spoilers, but if you're at all tempted by this room, do it!
The GM was attentive and helpful; I do prefer systems where you have to ask for the hints, but they ones we got were well-timed.

As they note on their site, there are some gory props, and you do have to interact with them. I am a delicate flower but I found these only unsettling, and nothing is coming at you or trying to be scary, so over time I grew comfortable in the room.

I’d say this is one of the best rooms we’ve done in the Boston area. We are repeat customers of Red Fox and this room did not disappoint. The theme was immersive and clever, and among the more unique plots we’ve played. The best thing about this room is the sheer number of puzzles available and relatively non-linear gameplay which kept our trio busy the entire time. We also appreciate the adaptive difficulty feature, which is a super smart way to design an escape room. THANK YOU, Liliana for the great customer service and for allowing us to do the entire room and unlocking all of the puzzles despite our small group size. We normally do not like hints either, but the couple clues given were well timed and just the right amount of nudge so we could finish. As a former Girl Scout I’m not sure how to feel about the gore in the room, but it’s not too horrible unless you are naturally squeamish from fake blood. We are also not a fan of rooms with lots of manual locks, but the handful of locks in this room were well marked and intuitive so you didn’t have to run around putting the key or 4-digit code into every lock hanging in the room. Overall, a great room and a must-do while in Boston!

The individual puzzles were not super hard on their own, but the sheer volume of them makes this room challenging.

Some jump scares from loud noises and some gore, not for young children or those squeamish from blood

Loved this room! Very creative and original theming and puzzle design. The puzzles aren’t super linear so it’s easy to split up and take on different parts of the room at the same time. We’re pretty experienced so they gave us the more challenging puzzles and few hints, which kept us engaged and challenged for almost the full hour, which I love! This was my first room where the gamemaker could actively alter the difficulty (aside from giving hints), and it felt good to know afterwards that we were doing a good job and earned the more difficult puzzles. Our gamemaker Liliana was so kind and gave us a lot of praise!! :) There’s some kind of gross gore, so be careful if you’re sensitive to that. I was grossed out, but after completing the room I appreciate its presence and it made the room very immersive. Highly recommend!

what a cohesive and stimulating themed room. The puzzles were often times unique and very within the theme. There were many surprises and intriguing moments. We were a group of 2 but both of us have done quite a few escape rooms. We used almost the full hour and our game master let us know she gave us all the hard puzzle options. The room apparently can be adjusted to be easier. Although the two of us are escape room hobbyists he body shop exposed many new types of puzzles to us. It was truly delightful however if you’re not a fan of gore then maybe second guess this room. As we were a little yucked out at moments.

Such a lovely experience with a great blend of rugged, humorous, and spooky vibes! I love all the little details as the room is so incredibly well decorated and built with incredible props! Ingenuous puzzles with unique gameplay!
Incredible gameplay with great flow and unique puzzles! Your GM will tell you not to dig around looking for things before clues tell you to and I suggest you listen to them!
Absolutely perfect atmosphere, I love getting to magically be a Girl Scout!
All of the staff was so nice and accommodating in and out of the room <3
Such a cool unique idea, it will stick out in my mind forever ☺️
Such great flow and story!

The room was definitely hard and we had to get quite a few hints, but we made it out in the end!
Mechanical
Mainly mechanical puzzles, but there were a decent amount of electrical puzzles as well

I’m not sure if this is true, but I think they scale up the difficulty of some of the puzzles with more players (from what I’ve heard from others who have also played the game) so I think a nice minimal but not barebones group would be perfect
Spooky
Some spooky elements, but nothing actively scary

Because of the spooky elements I would not recommend this game for younger players!

Highly recommend! The awards and other positive reviews are well earned. Book the room and go! Our husband/wife team of 2 took on this room today and it really is something to experience. The owner/GM led us to the room and it really is an immersive site to behold. There is an above average amount of puzzles in this room, and especially for just 2 of us, it was quite a challenge. All the puzzles were fun and fair, and that alone makes it a must try, but the story is equally fun and immersive to experience. We escaped with just 10 seconds left. Highly recommend!

We played with 2. For enthusiasts, they can modify the game while you’re playing to make it harder if they see you doing well. So for a two player team, we only had 2 minutes left because there were tons of puzzles of varying difficulty levels. It left me really fulfilled, like I got my money worth and played a very solid very fun room. The plot didn’t jump out at me until the end (too busy doing the puzzles), but then I was so impressed by how creative it was.

This is one of my favorite rooms I’ve ever played! Just the crazy plot twist that happens fairly early on in the game is so unique and something I’d never seen in an escape room before!
