FAQ's
What is Fox in a Box - Chicago?
Fox in a Box - Chicago is a premium provider of room escape games for team building. Participants sign up for a "mission" (a live experience with a particular theme), are placed in a room and are given 60 minutes to find clues, solve a series of puzzles and hopefully succeed in their chosen mission.
How much does it cost?
Price varies based on the number of players, the day of the week, the time of day and the room selected. Your best bet is to go to https://www.foxinaboxchicago.com/reservation/multiple and enter the date, time and number of people. Corporate pricing is higher. Please also be aware that once the booking is confirmed, refunds and cancellations are not accepted. Bookings cannot be rescheduled less than 72 hours in advance. We accept all major credit cards and PayPal accounts. Due to the pandemic, walk-in and last minute additions are NOT allowed. Please call +1 312 878 7899 if you need to make any last minute additions.
What time do I need to arrive?
Please arrive at the appointed time for your game. We do budget some leeway, but if you show up more than 5 minutes after the appointed time, you risk forfeiting part or all of your time slot. This is because each mission rotates on a 90-minute cycle; we cannot cause delays for other teams following yours. You will need a few minutes to check in and deal with any last minute restroom breaks. Then 5 minutes will be dedicated towards an introduction which includes the scope of your mission plus rules of the game. Each mission lasts up to 60 minutes (less if you escape early). After the game, another few minutes are set aside to take your team photo; most teams also want to talk about their specific gaming experience. The whole event lasts 80-90 minutes.
Accessibility and special requirements
Our rooms have varying level of accessibility; people who are mobility-challenged and require the aid of a wheelchair or walker can fully enjoy some of our rooms. If you have concerns, please contact us to discuss before booking a room. Our missions do not involve any real fear factor and they are all private so are suitable for those concerned about sharing an experience with strangers or those who scare easily. Seats are readily made available in the room(s) if a team member needs to rest for a while. In summary, while you won't be physically challenged you will be mentally challenged, so prepare for that. If you have any special considerations or questions, do not hesitate to email info@foxinaboxchicago.com for more information.
Are players locked in the rooms?
No. Fox in a Box - Chicago has taken the live "room escape" to the next level and missions go beyond a simple escape. Teams need to succeed in a thematic mission, accomplishing many tasks along the way. The room door is closed yet unlocked the entire 60-minute session. Those attempting to escape from The Prison, have a "panic button" which will unlock their cell in the event that claustrophobia or another emergency occurs, however this action will forfeit this particular game. If an unexpected restroom break is required, participants can exit and return back to most games, the exception being prematurely unlocking the cell in The Prison.
Are reservations required?
Yes. Due to the pandemic, we will not allow walk in clients. If you cannot use the website to book or see availability, call 312-878-7899.
