SybilJanuary 25, 2025

Had a great time during the Bank Heist! Amanda is a superb Gamemaster! We’ll be back!

TemujinOctober 25, 2024

Adam was the best! This was my first escape room but surely won’t be the last. We did the bank room and kept us on our toes!

VivianOctober 9, 2024

We completed the bank room for a work team building event. Game master Adam was great. He explained the rules beforehand and helped set the stage. The bank room had several puzzles and We successfully finished with 54 seconds to spare! It was a fun time

КаrenOctober 12, 2024

We did the Banks room and Ryan was working with us. Ryan was outstanding!! Helped just the right amount but waited for us...no spoilers.

The room was excellent. Challenging and interesting. Hope to return!

TimOctober 24, 2024

We had a great time playing The Bank. Adam was the greatest host you could ask for. Next time we play here we'll call ahead and make sure we pick a game he's running!

AlexJanuary 11, 2025

Adam was super helpful, explained the rules well and very nice. The room we chose was the Bank. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Chicago.

LenaJanuary 17, 2025

Adam was a fantastic game master with just the right amount of nudging for us to rob the bank with 66 seconds to spare!

ErinJanuary 2, 2025

This was my second time ever doing an escape room and it was so much fun! We did "The Bank" and Amanda Aka "Agent Possum" was our guide and she could not have done a better job making our escape room experience one to remember. I'll most definitely be returning to try to escape their other rooms.

jamieFebruary 27, 2025

Such a fun experience! We had such a great time escaping/robbing the bank room. And Adam made it so much more memorable!! He was a great guide, and drew us all the cutest personalized pictures.😊😊 Will go again!

AmmaSeptember 11, 2024

Absolutely awesome escape rooms! Did the bank with Zach, such a great game master and fun room!

JonathanSeptember 12, 2024

Ryan was delightful in our robbery of the bank. The Bee has discovered a new passion for mischief. 😎🐝

BryantJanuary 11, 2025

10/10!! This may be my favorite escape yet! (We did 'The Bank' room.) We were not sure about whether we could make it with two people, but it worked well since we were given the option of more interaction and support, as needed. Briona was an amazing game master who made the room more fun! So worth it! 🦊

AllyFebruary 1, 2025

My wife and I had a great time trying to escape the bank room! Ryan was our game master and was awesome from start to finish. He was kind, funny and gave good directions/clues. We will definitely be booking another game in the future!

BrianNovember 27, 2024

Zach was my game master during the Bank escape room. They did an excellent job of explaining the set up and providing apt hints when necessary! 10/10 will come again for a different room and hope they host us again!

MuskatDecember 20, 2024

Zach was an amazing game master! The bank was super fun and doable with 2 people. I recommend this company!

SarahJanuary 27, 2025

2 of us took on the Bank and had a blast. The puzzles were challenging and kept us moving through the game. Our host Zach was great - very friendly with just the right amount of help! Highly recommend!

КаrlaJanuary 25, 2025

We had a great time at Fox in the Box. We completed ‘The Bank’ room, which was challenging but really good fun. Briona was an excellent games master and was very helpful with the hints. Thanks Briona!

DuncanMarch 10, 2025

we did the bank heist and it was very fun, we kinda sucked though and amanda was super helpful with hints

ColinJuly 14, 2024

I went here on Friday for a friend's birthday and did the Bank Escape room. We had Amanda as our gamemaster and she was awesome. The room itself was super clever and an interesting concept. Definitely would come back and try the other rooms

JackieAugust 1, 2024

Great experience at the Bank escape room!!! Very fun and challenging puzzles. Amanda did a great job leading the experience.

КirstenOctober 4, 2024

We did the bank room, it was awesome! Amanda was a fantastic game master, she made the experience super fun and interesting. We will definitely come back to do the other rooms!

ShawonJuly 16, 2024

Amazing room (we did the bank) Issak was our game master and made the experience 10 times better.

WickSeptember 18, 2024

We had the best time with Amanda aka Agent Possom in The Bank escape room to celebrate our friends birthday. Highly recommend this place and ask for Amanda if you can!

HannahAugust 22, 2024

Amanda (aka Agent Possum) was amazing! She was so fun and made the experience super enjoyable! We ended up escaping from the Bank with 43 seconds to spare and the gold!!

EmmaJuly 1, 2024

Amanda was a great game master! She made our experience trying to get into the Bank quite fun!

JordanJuly 2, 2024

It was my first experience with escape room, and it was awesome!

Amanda is great gamemaster and took the whole experience to another level. The idea of reverse escape room The Bank is really great I would recommend it to everyone who want to try to break in instead of escaping. Definitely will visit again to try different rooms.

AndrzejJune 7, 2024

I had a blast with my group! Amanda was a great game master and helped us along the way to make sure we succeeded in our bank heist! Definitely want to come back and experience the other rooms!

YasmeenJune 6, 2024

We did the diamond heist, and really enjoyed it. Props to our game master Alanna who made the experience great.

UlrichOctober 4, 2024

Amanda, aka Agent Possum, was amazing and so helpful during our "bank heist"

AllexOctober 4, 2024

We completed our 4th room The Bank with ADAM who was super fun and gave just the right amount of help to make up for it being only two of us. It was challenging but FUN! Everyone at Fox in a Box is so nice! We’re looking forward to coming back to do the revamped Prison.

cherylNovember 25, 2024

My friends and I rocked two escape rooms here, "The Bank" and "The Zodiac." Both were incredibly interactive and fun, with clever puzzles that challenged us. The game masters, Adam and Tremaine, were fantastic! Their enthusiasm and guidance made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exciting escape room adventure!

SomyaJune 23, 2024

I went to Fox in a Box with a few coworkers, and we had such a spectacular time! Our Game Master Anna was funny, helpful, and just a joy to work with. We played the Bank Heist room where we were breaking in instead of escaping out, and it was a fun spin on a typical escape room. I can't wait to try their other rooms and would highly recommend this business!

BennettFebruary 19, 2024

Very fun, great customer service, Sarah was the best. Very immersive and fun puzzles! The Bank was a lot of fun, but I want to try Zodiac next time

DaveJune 17, 2024

I loved the bank

StephenApril 18, 2024

Lots of fun, had a great time! We played The Bank, and it was definitely atmospheric. Sarah, our gamemaster , was super helpful, and even took the time to personalize our card. Had a blast!

XinFebruary 7, 2024

Our time at the escape room was super awesome and it couldn't have been as much fun without amazing game master Sarah.

Highly recommend to come and try out the bank room.

NguyenApril 4, 2024

My group and I did the bank heist room. We had so much fun! The clues were tricky (in a good way). There were some puzzles where we could all be involved and others where we could solve simultaneously on our own. Ana was really awesome and helped else when we got stuck. They were a really good game-master. I would highly recommend coming here with your friends/family.

BrendaJuly 17, 2024

We had a blast attempting to rob the bank! Although we didn’t get the diamonds, we had an awesome time for my boyfriend's birthday! Mak was the best game master! She really brought the escape room to life & added to the fun! Thank you Mak for your help! You rock!

ShannonFebruary 22, 2024

Great escape room! We did the bank. Our guide - Lin - was particularly talented, gives us hints when we needed them but never otherwise. Would recommend!

NavinJuly 9, 2024

As escape room newbies we had no idea what we were getting into with this…and it was such a BLAST! Someone recommended Fox In A Box as a great place for our first experience, and they were so right! The atmosphere was spot on. Everything during our whole evening flowed so well! We did “The Bank” room with a group of 4 adults. The puzzles were so clever and fun and a good level of challenging for us! Our game master Sarah was a great storyteller and gave helpful hints when we got stuck. We’re 100% hooked on escape rooms now and will definitely be back to try out their other rooms!

EmmaJune 16, 2024

We had such a great time in The Bank! The room was very interactive and the puzzles were really fun to solve but honestly I think what made it so great was our game master Alahna!!

LinhJuly 9, 2024

We went here as a team building activity for work and had so much fun! Mak was a super fun and helpful game master and they made the whole experience way more fun!

We did the bank and came close to solving it, half of us were completely new to escape rooms. We will be back!

SaraMay 6, 2024

We had an excellent time at Fox In A Box! We did The Bank and loved our experience. The room was well designed and had some fun components. Our game master Adam was fantastic and even gave us cards with sketches of each of us at the end! I would love to come back and try the other rooms.

MaryamMarch 10, 2024

Our group included 4 adults and 2 children. Our guide (who is also a school teacher) instinctively knew how to draw out the kids and guide them into making meaningful contributions. She was an invisible, subtle, kindly presence with exactly the right amount of help.

The game (bank robbery) was challenging and difficult but extremely rewarding in the end. We couldn't stop talking about the experience

DianeJune 20, 2024

Awesome, immersive escape room. Great staff. Easy booking. Overall, highly recommend this one. We did the Bank room, and kids and I had had a blast.

ChrisMay 2, 2024

Did this for my birthday with a group of six total people on The Bank. Was an absolutely blast! Our game master MacLean was absolutely amazing, giving hints when he could tell we're barking up the wrong tree, and we only used a proper hint once. We finished with 6 minutes left, and everyone had a blast. A bit pricy for all of us but absolutely worth every penny. Definitely hoping to eventually do all four of them!

DevynMarch 16, 2024

Amazing experience! Alahna made sure we had a great time. We went as a group of five with the intent of team building and loved it. The Bank is a really fun campaign.

KurtJuly 13, 2024

Such a great escape room!! This is one of the few escape rooms that lets you book the entire room for just your group (as opposed to letting other groups join until the room is full). Our game master Zach was incredibly friendly and helpful. We finished The Bank with 7 minutes left on the clock. The puzzles ranged in difficulty but were all incredibly fun. We’re forward to booking another escape room here soon!

JessicaMarch 3, 2024

I completed the Bank escape room in a group of 5. The decorations were realistic and fit the story. The puzzles were clever and different from other escape rooms I have done. It was challenging, but doable with the help of our game master Chris. He gave us a few hints that helped us think without giving anything away. I look forward to going back to try other rooms at Fox in a Box.

HeidiDecember 30, 2022

We had so much fun doing the Bank escape room at Fox in a Box! Our team was comprised of four adults and two very smart kids, and we won…just barely. It was very challenging and creative, and CJ was a fabulous game master. This was the third escape room we’d ever done, but it was definitely the best one! We will be back to check out the other rooms! 🦊📦❤️

NadineOctober 5, 2022

The zodiac room was amazing! Super fun and the puzzles were awesome!! Steven was the best game master. Will totally come here again!!

Sofia February 16, 2022

Great room! Challenging and lots of fun! Libby was a fantastic guide!!

JeffSeptember 12, 2020

I did the bank and it was an amazing game! It was so fun but very hard! I had an amazing time there! We also had a super fun time with our tour guide Lindsey!

Lauren TapperJanuary 13, 2018

Amazing games, all of them. What ever you book, you want be sorry

Renata MatošinaJanuary 31, 2016

Seriously one of the coolest experiences ever! Our group had such a blast, we still can't stop talking about it and cannot wait to go again with friends and family!

We didn't really know what to expect or look for when we first walked in, but soon enough all the clues started coming together once we put our heads together! Truly a group effort.

This was so much fun and something cool, new, and different to do for a night out! I look forward to coming back and trying out the other rooms!

Thanks again, Vince, for a great time!

Bianca RamirezJanuary 31, 2016

We had so much fun we played 3 rooms in 1 day! The rooms are challenging without feeling impossible to solve, so it was a lot more fun than other escape rooms that we've tried.

Jonathan Malone January 31, 2016

So different and completely entertaining! I cannot wait to go back to try a different room! The Bank got the best of us but I swear I will emerge victorious from The Bunker!!

Karyn M. McCarthyJanuary 31, 2016

This is not my first room Escape, and Fox in a Box did anything but disappoint. The online booking process was easy. Great customer service from start to finish.

Tucked away in the basement of the historical Dearborn Station my group was welcomed yesterday evening by a cheerful game master. We were made to feel very comfortable as we waited for our escape experience to begin.

Rules were explained clearly and then we entered 'The Bank'. We had a full hour of immersive fun and we, now a band of bank robbers, attempted to steal the Pink Panther Diamond.

We avoided the security guard, cracked codes, solved puzzles, and almost escaped with the Pink Panther......but time ran out. The puzzles utilize many different type of thinking and logic so there is a little something for everyone. The sound track definatly added to the excitement and I felt like I was the star of my own movie/video game. The game master was available to give us hints upon request, or to let us know if we got too far off track.

This would be a great event for team building as you absolutely need to work together with your team mates on logical, physical, and creative tasks....and way more fun then trust falls. I did read they have someone to give a team review upon request. Great date night. Great activity down town for locals and tourists alike. In our case just a fun Wednesday-Funday evening adventure. Can't wait to go back and try the Bunker!

MarenJanuary 28, 2016

Great escape room! We have done quite a few and this was one of the best in game design- challenging and in-theme. Great location right next to Bar Louie in downtown Chicago. Highly recommended!
