Customer review:
“Excellent room escape! Best in London! Had a blast escaping from prison (with 1.30 to spare...!) Will definitely come back!”
An immersive experience
List-topping escape rooms provide an unforgettable immersive experience. All the senses are mobilised in the desperately exciting struggle to escape. There is a world outside the room, and you did have a life before entering, but for an hour at least, you won’t remember it.
Ever watched a totally engrossing disaster movie and wanted to be the hero who saves the world? Picture yourself in a bunker; you’ve received First Alert that the enemy has initiated the launch of a nuclear weapon and the fate of the world rests in your hands. Through a series of puzzles and tasks, your team must uncover secrets and solve codes to save humanity, but be quick – the clock is ticking, and the bomb is set to detonate in 60 minutes!
This is the Bunker, Mr Fox’s toughest room – prepare to have your logic and intuition tested to the limit.
Maybe you love horror movies and have always wanted to outwit a cunning killer. Like all the best slasher flicks, our Zodiac Killer room is convincingly authentic. Look out for jump scares, a gruesome protagonist and a climactic struggle – the chilling atmosphere will turn ordinary tasks into something far more difficult to solve!
Or are you a fan of prison escape movies like Shawshank Redemption and Escape Plan? Our Prison Escape scenario offers a fantastic immersive experience – especially if you manage to escape!
You’ll have to think and work together here (although our staff are on hand to offer help if you need it). This room will get your endorphins rushing, with real highs when you complete certain phases – and, ultimately, escape. You’ll be smiling and talking about it the whole way home.
Blurring the line between reality and fantasy
The boundary between reality and fantasy is blurred behind Mr. Fox’s portals…
A huge element of what makes for the best escape room in London is the amazing staff. The blurring of the participants' distinction between reality and fantasy is tied to the staff’s ability to stay in character – larger-than-life, bold performers with clearly defined roles within the story.
Some will offer help, some won’t, so you’ll need to be a good judge of character. And bear in mind: those that help won’t make things simple; they’ll just, so to speak, sharpen the knife already in your hand.
Add to the sensational acting the time run of the escape challenge and you have a recipe for a thrilling escape room experience. And don’t worry if you fail – Mr. Fox’s escape rooms are anything but easy. We know you’ll be back for another mission behind Mr. Fox’s portal. Our great team running the show will be waiting.
Customer review:
“Very cool escape room. We did Zodiac Killer which was a scary escape room. I’ve never screamed so much! Very thrilling, perfect blend of scary and challenging at the same time. Defo used my brain to crack this one and it was well worth it! Staff all stayed in character throughout, so much so that I didn’t believe it was over when the staff said we had completed it!”
Gets the grey matter working
So you nearly didn’t escape… We warned you our puzzles are challenging and you’d have to think! Lucky you had our enthusiastic (and empathetic) staff to offer helpful hints.
Utilising a mix of visual and audio tactical tasks, awesome escape rooms compel you to explore as though everything around you is potentially another piece of the puzzle. It’s challenging enough to get you scratching your head, yet the answers are intuitive and fun.
And remember: everyone has their goofy moments – it’s part of being human. We’ve seen many of them at Fox in a Box. But what we can say is that for all the lapses in logic we’ve witnessed, there’s been just as many eureka moments.
A bonding exercise
The best escape rooms offer a fabulous team-bonding experience as you club together to solve the riddles.
Along with being a test of logic and creativity, our rooms also promote teamwork and communication skills. Teams can decide which theme or storyline they’d like to try. Perhaps horror fans may opt for an escape-the-killer type room, whereas fans of apocalyptic movies would favour an end-of-the-world scenario.
To beat the escape-room challenge, teams must solve a series of clues by interacting with the environment in a high-octane race against the clock. To achieve victory, participants must be dynamic, creative and logical – attributes readily transferable to the workplace.
Any time of year, special occasions and holidays – All are welcome!
The best-of-the-best escape rooms make the most of seasonal celebrations, and Mr. Fox has a treat for any occasion – birthdays, Halloween, Valentine’s or an office Christmas party to remember. In addition to our escape rooms, we can provide a private bar and put on games activities like beer pong and Jenga – with food if booked in advance.
Our Zodiak Killer scenario is the perfect Halloween escape room – clever, spooky and a fantastic day out for the family.
What about the best escape room for Valentine’s Day? What could be more romantic than you and your sweetheart getting locked up together and having to combine your wits? You’ll struggle together; but you can, with confidence and communication, escape, no matter how tricky or intense things get. And you’ll be loved-up to the eyeballs when you do!
