Marshall and Molly carefully weaved a backstory that added to our prison experience. I’ve never felt so safe being blindfolded.

You will leave with a personalized gift to cherish for the rest of your life.

We did the Prison Escape room! It was so much fun. I don’t think we would’ve gotten it without Bec! A wonderful game master!

Johnny Jonathan was a great game master and his interactions made the game. It was a good room, but he made it better. Loved the prison and wish we had time to do another room. The whole family loved it

Adam was a great host! He was very patient and a very kind. He was also very helpful, He gave really good hints! I would definitely recommend doing the prison course. It was a lot of fun! We actually made it out with 31 seconds on the clock!

Johnathan and Steven did an awesome job helping us (almost) complete the prison break :)

Such a great time! My wife and I had never done an escape room before and we had so much fun. I can’t say enough good things about our game manager, Steven, who did an incredible job helping us but at the same time allowing us to figure things out for ourselves. The Prison Room was challenging (we didn’t escape but got very close!) and the hour flew by. We want to try out all of the escape rooms at Fox In A Box now!!

Had a great experience with the Prison escape room! Marina, our host, was super friendly and awesome, and even made cute drawings for us to take home as mementos. Would definitely recommend this experience!

Did the Prison Break and thoroughly enjoyed it. Marina was a great game master who provided just enough assistance for the game to be fun and allow us to progress. I definitely would want to do their other rooms!

friends and i went to The Prison, bill/molly was our GM <3 and they were lovely (molly if u see this hi!!! the cards were absolutely amazing). we were laughing the whole time and the atmosphere was incredible. Absolute 5 star review from me, it was a wonderful experience and the room itself was difficult but not impossible.

I had a wonderful time doing the prison theme escape room. Lin was wonderful and such a lovely host! Very humorous. Not sure if you’re able to pick your host, but if you could, I highly recommend her!

April 2, 2024

Lin was hands down the best part for the escape room. We did the prison break and it was immersive and very realistic.

We played the prison room. The experience was really fun. Marina was a great and fun game master/warden. Thank you, Marina!

We did the prison escape room with a couple of friends and had an absolute blast! Very well designed for the right amount of challenge. Thanks to our facilitator Lin who gave us just the right amount of help and positive affirmation :)

Took our three boys (12, 14, 21) here...and we all had a blast!!! What a fun time and something a little different...boys were asking when we could come back!

A very well organized puzzle. It was our first time playing this kind of locked room game, and though my dad was very skeptical going in, everyone ended up having a great time. It also made for great dinner conversation afterwards :)

January 31, 2016

It was our first time doing something like this ever. Vince was awesome at explaining everything to us and was really nice! It was probably one of the most adrenaline rush experiences ever. I would come back again with my friends and family. This was a real life puzzle and I'm glad we did it!

Located in a cool, secured building, you feel a sense of anticipation. My daughters selected the bank robber activity to celebrate my birthday. We entered a bright and cheery reception room and were greeted by 2 friendly staff who made us feel comfortable. Crystal, our fab game master, explained the rules and gave us items needed in our quest. I instantly channeled my inner Catwoman. We entered the room and frantically tried to figure out clues that would lead us into the vault to access the gems in the allotted timeframe. My inner Catwoman took a hike when the lights went out and the background noises began. This was a great team builder and made us definitely think outside the box. The experience was creepy and hilarious and energizing. Although we failed to open the vault in time, a good time was had by all! We plan on doing this again! Game on, Crystal!!!

We got married at the courthouse and were looking for something fun to do with the wedding party. We booked The Bunker to start with and had so much fun that we stayed and played The Bank and The Lab. Game masters Vincent and Krystal were a lot of fun and made the experience great. The facility looks great and the little extras they provide while they're setting up your experience add a nice touch to the whole vibe of the place.

January 31, 2016

We did the vault. It was one of best attractions that I've been to in Chicago. A lot of fun and definitely worth the money. Definitely a great place to visit!

January 31, 2016

This place rocks!! We saved the world from zombies and escaped from jail in two weeks!! Clearly the best room escape in the Midwest!
