This game is fun! If you are hesitant about doing scary rooms, this is a great one to start with. There are a few special moments that make this a solid room for all group types.

Gameplay

Solid flow, can't complain here!

Atmosphere

The set was well-themed. It could have played more with the lighting, however

Customer service
Particularly interesting or different

No

Story

The story progressed nicely as you worked through the room

Difficulty

Medium

May be tough for totally new players or people that get scared very easily, but no especially difficult puzzles

Ideal number of players

3

For experienced players, I would not go over 3 (could even do 2), for newer players, 4-5 would be good.

Scary

Scary

It has its moments, but pretty mild given how it is marketed. This is the least scary 'scary' room I have done, but some aspects may discomfort some members of the group.

Was anything broken?

No

Physically active

Not at all

Accessibility

There is one portion that may not be possible for individuals with mobility issues. It will not prevent you from completing the room

Parking

Limited

Paid city parking only

Fox in a Box really delivered on this room, I love their commitment to immersion. You do not need to know any history about the Zodiac Killer to complete this room, but it's nice to have some back story to appreciate their attention to detail in creating this room. My team had a lot of fun working through the puzzles. Keep in mind that at least one person in your group should be comfortable with small spaces before playing this game.

Our group didn’t finish, we were about a minute away from escaping. But the production value was amazing, and it was still such a fun room.

The puzzles could have been better, more flow. We had 4 in our group, there were several points that we were lost and never would have figured it out if not for hints.

Gameplay

Felt like it was lacking a bit.

Atmosphere

The room itself was a good setup and immersive

This was my first time playing a room that was marked 18 and over. Room and puzzles fit well with the theme. Good room for around Halloween.

This room was great! The theming was wonderful and very immersive, puzzles were unique and challenging, and the props were awesome! The staff was lovely and our game master was great. There were some unforgettable moments and a few fun jump scares, but nothing too bad. The one downside to our experience was that the room was not reset properly and we wasted a big chunk of our time trying to solve a puzzle we didn’t even need to solve (due to the prop that solving this puzzle unlocked not being locked in the first place). Overall, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our experience, and will definitely try another Fox in a Box room soon!

Gameplay

Very challenging but so much fun. The props were intricate and really added to the overall theming. The puzzles were very unique.

Atmosphere

AMAZIMG props, overall a very creepy experience!

Customer service

Staff was very kind and our game masters were awesome.

Physically active

Somewhat

There is a moment in the beginning where you will be handcuffed or restrained and will not be able to see. Also, there is an aspect of the gameplay that may be nervewracking for claustrophobic folks, but not too bad.

First Fox in a Box room I’ve ever done. Here’s some thoughts: - I’m not well versed in The Zodiac Killer, but there are elements in the room that don’t feel true to his MO. Not disappointing to me, but I could see that sticking in a true crimes maw - This is a gorgeously done room. Well themed, fun and inventive puzzles that expand the palette of what’s possible as a solve. Very immersive. - Some of the best game masters (supervisors?) out there. Friendly, charming folk. - I count this one as a win in my heart, because one puzzle was improperly reset and about 8 minutes was wasted solving something that was already “solved”

Gameplay

Lots of great, inventive puzzles. Nothing felt inexplicable, and they made sense in their own world.

Spooky

A few quality scares that I’ll be thinking about for awhile
