wao it was a good experience. it was my first time doing an escape room and my daughter choose a very hard one but it was worst it every penny. since we got there the person who greet us made it very tetrical and it set the tone to it. he was really good made our experience more alive. thank you. I 100% recommend this escape room. I believe the guy name is Carl. he is very good at his job. read more

Fun experience, but missing items that had to be added halfway through the game. Stained the immersion.

Did an escape room for my daughters birthday. HORRIBLE, thank god i drank before coming here cause fists woulda been flying. Our game master (more like beginner kitten wrangler) couldn't give us the right clues ruining our whole game. 10 minutes on the same clue that we already finished but was told we had to complete it. New guy had to come in over the intercom with a pirate accent, it wasn't even a pirate escape room so what the fuck? Took all the children out of the immersion, thankfully im still imaginative. The room itself was broken af, things in the room were already broken or open and told don't touch until we tell you too (they never told us wasting another 10 minutes). It was a shitshow ran by shitheads, employee was SUPER excited for us to give him a review, yeah buddy here you go, hang this one up in your next escape room. read more

Billly is the absolute best!! Made our experience so much fun and very helpful. Place was clean and very fun!! Will be coming back for sure

My second time at Fox In A Box and had a really poor experience. My group (4) and I played Final Confinement. Started off pretty rough, the room was not reset/ready so we had to leave the room after getting situated and restart (we were about 10 mins late after our start time so on the positive side they did give us the full time to play). While playing, our game master was a bit rude, I asked for time remaining several times but was never answered. There were multiple number combination padlocks throughout the room that weren't meant to be unlocked that weren't marked as do not touch and we weren't told that they weren't part of the game in the beginning/intro so our group keep getting yelled at for touching them. It's a number lock in an escape room - it's not fair to assume we wouldn't think it was part of the game. I had told our game master several times before and during the game that we didn't want any clues or hints unless we asked for them, but we keep getting unasked help, for example, getting told not to touch a puzzle until we figured xyz or finished xyz - which took away from solving the puzzles and clues ourselves - half of our group are escape room enthusiasts so we would have figured it out ourselves. Or we would solve something and just needed to "submit it" and would immediately get a hint for the answer before we even tried our solution. We finished the escape room with time to spare but I would have rather not finish and actually solve the puzzles ourselves instead. I think because our game started later than the original start time due to the room not being ready and us being 10 minutes late after our start time, they wanted us to finish quickly so the next reservation can start on time. Whatever the reason, felt like a waste of money since we didn't get to solve the puzzles ourselves, what's the point of playing a game if you get all the answers. Update: After posting my initial review, the manager apologized and explained the situation. I really appreciated the transparency and effort to make things right. It was clear they take customer feedback seriously, and I want to give credit where it's due - it was great customer service. read more

Jen and Alejandra were funny and friendly and made us feel smart, even though we needed much assistance lol. Would definitely do again! read more

OMG! Mind absolutely blown!! My first ever Escape Room, did the Tesla room. Sophi is absolutely AMAZING! Coming back!

Me and my friends have done multiple escape rooms (some of us have done over 40 of them) and honestly I wouldn't recommend the other side. That room has a very very low escape rate and it's not really the players fault. If you go with a large group there is a portion of the game that sets you up for failure and costs your team almost a minute per player if not more (and it's not even a puzzle that aids in your escape) and we went with SIX. During this portion you can't move forward until every member completes it which is peculiar for this portion of an escape room...normally it's only one person in other escape rooms. I still give it a 2 star despite that because I still really enjoyed many of the puzzles and there were some types I haven't exactly seen before. That particular part of the escape room just needs to be refined. read more

Very fun and enthusiastic staff! Had a blast and was even accommodated for another escape room after!

We have done a lot of rooms in the past. This one was in the middle of the road. Speakers in rooms were really bad which made it frustrating when trying to hear what the game master was saying. We did both "Nuclear Bunker" and "The Other Side." Cannot say I was impressed with nuclear bunker but the room was pretty cool. Some of the linear flow didn't make a lot of sense but the puzzles themselves were not that bad. The Other Side was a pretty good room, all of the puzzles made sense but the transition to other rooms and a few simple, yet important steps were not achievable without the Game Master interjecting. All in all, middle of the road amongst the many rooms I have done. I would come back to do the other rooms. read more

We've done Zodiac Killer and Prison Break and both have been super interactive, detailed, and fun. Highly recommend Zodiac Killer although it's definitely super hard. They allow you to chose hints every 10 minutes vs unlimited hints. Good service, Miami pricing, but a good time. read more

I am so grateful this place exists! I've been to over 10 different escape rooms all over the country, and this was by far one of my favorite! I grew up playing those online escape room games, and this place brings me that thrill and challenge that keeps me wanting more. Fox in a Box isn't just a room of puzzles but it's a whole experience! I also appreciate how professional and attentive the workers are. I've been to other escape rooms where I literally have to leave the room to get the worker's attention to ask for my next clue since they weren't paying attention, but I never had an issue here. I've done all the rooms now except for nuclear bunker, and I'm looking forward to any future rooms they add! (please add more!) read more

This was so much fun. My friends and I did the bunker made it out in time. It wasn't too difficult. Isabella was awesome, loved how she gave us the story before entering the room and took our pictures for us at the end. Parking is street but there's a couple lots around if you can't find any. read more

We've been loyal customers at Fox in a Box for years and have played through every single one of their rooms. For the most part, the experiences have been excellent, which is why we were so disappointed with the Tesla room. We actually came on a DM training day, and while Ann (our DM) was patient and kind, she clearly wasn't actively following our progress. Several of the hints she gave us were for puzzles we had already completed, which only added to the frustration. The main issue is the lack of feedback. You can solve something correctly and have no idea anything happened. There's no sound, no light, no signal pointing you to the next step, so you spend a lot of time wandering around aimlessly. To make things worse, there are multiple props in the room that aren't marked as untouchable, so we wasted a good 15 minutes trying to interact with objects (like a phone) before finally being told we weren't supposed to. The room is advertised as "non-linear," but in reality, there's very little you can work on at the same time. Aside from gathering clues early, most of the puzzles can only be solved one after another, which made the experience drag. Honestly, we considered walking out more than once, which has never happened in any of their other well-designed, fun rooms. Another frustration was how the phone policy was handled. My friend had explained that they were waiting for urgent updates about a medical emergency after a car accident. Even with that, their phone was still locked away in a metal bin, and staff promised they would answer if it rang. We offered an alternative, in which they kept the phone on hand, and they still denied that accommodation. Unfortunately, when the game ended, my friend discovered five missed calls that hadn't been picked up. They had even asked if the phone could be kept somewhere more accessible so staff could hear it, but were told the bin wouldn't block the sound. Clearly, it did. Overall, I'd recommend skipping Tesla. We've loved every other room here, but this one was frustrating, confusing, and handled poorly in terms of both gameplay and accommodations. read more

Do not do the Tesla room! There is little to no indication when you get a puzzle correct--no noise to indicate something has opened or clue to go to another furniture piece. Many pieces in the room do not state you can't touch them so you'll spend time aimlessly working on trying to put the code into the phone before the game master tells you you aren't supposed to be touching it 15 min later. The room states the puzzle is nonlinear but there is very little you can solve simultaneously other than finding clues ahead of time. The DM, Ann was very patient with us but I considered quitting many times just because there was little sense to be found in the puzzle. Disappointing considering the other rooms here are very well designed and fun to do. Also, they wouldn't let me bring my phone inside even though we were waiting on notice regarding a medical emergency after a car accident. They promised to answer the phone if it rang while we were inside, yet locked it in a metal bin, even though I expressed multiple times I would be more comfortable if they kept it somewhere outside where they could hear it. They claimed they could hear it in the bin. When I came out I had 5 missed calls, none of which were answered (the ringer was on, volume as high as it would go). read more

Hey, this place is fun. Challenging enough & the rooms are well decorated. Staff were courteous & helpful. As with any escape room, get there on time! It's not their fault if you can't escape because you were 'miami late'. My fam did the prison room & it was a blast. I'd definitely come back. Parking & entrance are a little weird, but they have great signage and explain it well. read more

10/10 experience. I chose the Prison Break room with my group of (4). I honestly could not complain I seriously think it was fun and worth our time. My suggestion to others is do not be late!! show up maybe 10 minutes early. my group and i got there 20 minutes late and they do not compensate you for the time lost meaning we only had 0 minutes once we got there, and on top of that we still had to do waivers and get the run down of the game from our guide. As far as the room you will definitely need critical thinking! The staff was nice and helpful throughout the entire process. As far as the area, It is not the greatest area in the world. There is a lot of homeless sleeping outside however, we had no issues with anyone. I will definitely be coming back to try out a different room! read more

Been to a couple escape rooms before and this one did NOT disappoint!! The room (zodiac) was both a challenge and a spooky interactive experience I was not expecting! Our host Lewis was AWESOME. Highly recommend for a fun activity this Halloween season :) read more

I just came back for the fourth time to do the Final Confinement room and it was amazing! 10/10 the game supervisors were super nice and attentive! Will be coming back to do the Zodiac Killer Room read more

This was my first time trying an escape room game. My friend unfortunately chose the Zodiac Killer scenario for us (due to her fascination with all things macabre) - which was the most difficult of the escape room games available, with an absurdly low success rate. Needless to say ... we did not "win". In fact, we were told that we had not even made it halfway through the scenario (in spite of all the hints we were given when stumped). All that said, we had a fun time. The atmosphere was creepy as well (exactly what my friend was hoping for), and the staff was very helpful. If you're in the area and looking for an escape room game, I do encourage you to give this place some consideration. read more

In 1952 British Naval Intelligence Analyst Ian Fleming gave the world a taste of what it was like to be a secret service agent for her majesty's service. In creating James Bond, he transported the world into a realm where nothing was what it seemed, filled with suspense, and danger at every corner. We've all visualized in our minds being in the position of that famous secret agent. The suspense, the action, the danger, and the women. (Ladies, you can always be the Bond girl). But being honest, how many times have you sat at a bar and ordered a dirty martini, just to utter those famous words, "shaken, not stirred", or stood in front of the mirror pretending to hold a gun in your hand while while smirking to yourself, "the name is Bond. James Bond." - Many times I bet. That sense of suave, cool and calm under pressure, mixed with heroism, and the ability to always get the girl, is what we all aspire to be able to do. Yet, few of us can ever experience that, specially the danger and suspense part. That's where Room Escape Miami by Fox in a Box stepped in and what an amazing experience it was. I was invited by a friend. Someone in her group wasn't able to go, so she gave me the extra ticket. - winning! - When we showed up, we all had varying expectations. No one had done a escape room before. - Not knowing what to expect, we decided to trust our gorgeous instructor (Bond Girl), who happened to also have a British accent, and whom I later nicknamed Siri for reasons which will eventually be obvious! - she guided us through the rules and regulations - "never press the red button" - sort of stuff, and off we were down a labyrinthine corridor with many rooms each with a name scarier than the other - Zombie Apocalypse, Prison Break, etc. We were doing the Nuclear Bunker. We were all gathered again before what looked to be bank vault doors. We were told the steps we had to take to save the world, and shown a video through we we were baptized as the new generation of double Os. All this took place before they did the single scariest thing they could have done - take away our cell phones. (Pictures are not allowed, nor is computerized help) Our own personal Siri ushered us through the bunker doors and off we were into a world where everything could be a clue and where a timer reminded us minute by minute, second by second, that the fate of the world hung in the balance over our shoulders. Luckily for us we were not alone in the journey, Siri guided us with clues as if our own MoneyPenny, as we entered blindly into the adventure. Even though this helps you get the bearings of the game, you can only get a clue every certain amount of time. I'm trying not to reveal anything, as for you to get the best experience possible. Suffice to say that your wits will be tested. Good memory, coordination, knowledge of cartography, and even basic math are a great plus when in the maze. But trust me, even basic arithmetic goes out the window when under the ticking clock. If you want to feel like James Bond, this is your place. Just be careful, every decision could spell disaster for the world. Disclaimer: Bond girl not included. read more

These are one of the best escape rooms I've been too, the serial killer one was amazing, I definitely recommend !

Last week was super cool with my friends . Great ambient and all team was super helpful .

I would not recommend this place at all. They try to hit you with fees left and right, and will squeeze money out of you at any turn. No spirit of fun in the least. read more

This place was so fun! The staff def helps set the scene and keep you excited as you go into the room. We did the zombie apocalypse and it was def extremely hard but actually very realistic. I was honestly very creeped out the whole time we were in there. We did get very close to solving the room but we did need clues. It was a work event that we were there for and other teams we're able to get out of the easier rooms. I do not recommend you start with such a hard level. read more

Had such a great experience!! My partner and I have done about 3-4 escape rooms at other places but this one has been the best one by far!! We did final confinement and it was so so fun.

This is such a fun date idea and would highhhllyyy suggest doing it. Would definitely come back to do another one, if not all!! read more

So much fun! The room we got was for a team building event. It was a great experience and we each had to work together. The rooms a very challenging and couldn't finish the challenge in time. We'll be back soon for other rooms. The staff was very nice too, we had a great time. read more

Avid, escape room enthusiast here. My partner and I have done well over 60 escape rooms in states ranging from California to here at fox in a box. With that being said, being one of the higher rated escape rooms of southern Florida - We were very disappointed in this escape room. We did the Zodiac Killer room. Which the concept was intriguing considering it was based on a true story. But the electronics of the room did not work by the players, so they had to be triggered by an attentive game master. Needless to say, our 18-19 year old game masters were not attentive. We wasted quite a bit of time attempting the puzzles only to have to buzz in and then the puzzles get triggered. Very frustrating. We have no issues working with faulty electronics, but the game masters need to be on their toes if this is circumstance. The puzzles weren't difficult, but the in brief needs to be more thorough because it's one of the few escape rooms where you have to take apart stuff that would normally break other props. Additionally, just for situational awareness, this escape room is located in a very run down area with a lot of homeless people locating in the area to sleep for the evening. Overall, would not recommend this escape room. read more

We had a great experience. From the moment I called to get information to the day we went for the experience. Would go back for sure!

So we are 7 minutes late and they started the clock... this is during covid so they are lucky to even have anyone to come at all, it's not room that doesn't even have much going on, we would have loved to love this but they were just not nice enough for the price. One of our friends is diabetic and has to have water and they don't allow it. read more

Fox In A Box - Miami - This photo is us asking for a refund because they closed out early.... don't come here - Escape Games Near Me - Miami, Florida

While brainstorming things to do on a lazy Sunday with friends, an escape room came to mind. It's been awhile since I've done one around town, but Room Escape Miami by Fox in a Box came to mind first. We were able to call and book the Bank Robbery room to play a couple of hours later. For three of us, it cost about $118. They rank the rooms on a difficulty scale of 1-10 (all are either 8, 9 or 10). Before going in, you can pick whether you want to "play by the book" and get a max of one clue every 10 minutes or get unlimited clues throughout. The bank robbery room was ranked a 10 and we decided to play by the book. It was a fun non-linear room, so you solve a few different things at a time and may need to go back to previous rooms or puzzles to advance. All in all, it was really fun and clever! We were so close to finishing at the end, so our clue giver gave us a few extra minutes to complete it which was much appreciated. I've also been to Fox in a Box for a Yelp event and did the Nuclear Bunker. Overall, I think this biz excels at design and thought. Would definitely come back to try out the rest of the rooms! read more

This was my second time at Fox in a Box. My first was experiencing the Prison Escape room and I loved it. I went with my parents and son and although we didn't escape we immediately knew who was the teams crutch, the BOYS! We split into teams of two into two separate cells ...and the poor guys would've been spending Life together if it weren't for our guide. With that said we had a great time. Prison Break was fantastic set in a real life prison cell. There's nothing cheesy about the set up and all the clues although some hard all made sense. Most recently I took my son and his friends for his 18 bday and they absolutely loved the nuclear bunker. They made it out by the skin of their teeth! This is a great activity to do on a date, family night out, group of friends or an excellent team building. It's a must try. You won't regret it. Absolutely worth every penny. Can't wait to go back and try the other rooms! Totally looking forward to the Zodiac! read more

Fox In A Box - Miami - Ready top Escape from the Nuclear Bunker! - Escape Games Near Me - Miami, Florida

There is no doubt in my mind that this is probably the best Miami has to offer in terms of escape rooms. Having done over 50 rooms by now, however, I try to hold all escape rooms to the same standards whether they come from more competitive escape room markets (like Orlando) or less saturated markets (like Indianapolis). As I have stated in other escape room reviews, most reviewers on these pages are writing a review for their very first escape room ever--and typically everyone loves their first escape experience, no matter what. For this reason, most escape businesses boast 4-5 star ratings despite the fact that not all are created equal. It also probably helps in Fox in a Box's case that at least one of their employees is insisting that customers "leave us a 5 star review" as they leave. Whenever I leave any business being told how to review them, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. On to the business itself... It was obvious to my girlfriend and me that they don't get a lot of escape enthusiasts because before both rooms that we did, we were given the full long spiel about how everything works. I appreciate that this is their job and they have a set spiel, but I'd be lying if I said my eyes didn't glaze over a little. One kind of weird thing that I've never seen at an escape business before was that they make you leave your phone in an unlocked compartment outside of the room. Most places I've visited let you leave it in a box in the room, or else they let you put it in a locker that you keep the key to. Ashley, our game supervisor for Nuclear Bunker, was an absolute star! We really liked her clue-giving style--gentle nudges in the right direction, and only chiming in when we really needed it. She also was clearly paying careful attention to us throughout our game, always knowing exactly where we were and what we needed from her. If this review was for Ashley alone, it would be 5 stars! I would probably rate the game itself around 4 stars. It had decent scenic, with some really cool details and touches. It's their easiest game, with a high escape rate and linear puzzles, but all the puzzles were fun and made sense. We came back to play Bank Robbery, and were a bit less impressed. Our game supervisor for this game seemed a bit scatterbrained and I had a feeling he wasn't always paying attention to us, as he didn't always seem to know where we were at, giving us clues about things we already knew OR giving us way too much information. Where Ashley would give us a gentle push, this supervisor would just explain what we needed to do, and then once we started to do it, would continue to explain in detail what we should do even though were already working on it. Part of the fun is to figure things out, and really all we wanted was a push at most. The Bank Robbery room itself also didn't impress us as much as Nuclear Bunker. The puzzles were somewhat non-linear, but they weren't any harder than the puzzles in Bunker, there just might have been more of them. Some of the puzzles (like the first two doors) were ridiculously easy for a room that's supposed to be so hard. And then, on the other hand, there were puzzles that were just... off. In a variety of ways. One puzzle relating to color had something that was bright orange, the number on which was supposed to go to something of a corresponding color... only the corresponding thing was literally a pale, pastel yellow. Huh? Without giving too much away, there was another puzzle where something had to be put in a very specific spot to trigger a maglock, but there wasn't any indicator of where exactly to place the item. Finally, there was a really cool thing that we were really excited to work on together and then... we couldn't... because the battery on the thing was dead. We talked about the battery being dead for about a minute, got the attention told our game supervisor because he wasn't listening to our conversation... he seemed not to believe us, asked us a bunch of questions about it, and then gave us an alternative puzzle slipped under the door... All of this without stopping the timer so we wasted a good bit of time on that. There also was a pen provided, but no paper (in Nuclear Bunker there were both, so I think the resetter just forgot to replace the paper), which would've been helpful... I wound up writing a code on my hand because we didn't need it yet but had to remember it for later. In the end we escaped, and it was overall a decent room, but we just weren't particularly impressed by it in any way. I could tell the game supervisor expected more of an excited reaction when we won the game and was trying to draw it out of us but it just wasn't going to happen because it wasn't an amazing experience from any angle. If you're looking for an escape experience in Miami, I'm sure this is one of the better if not the best one. For seasoned escape artists, don't expect to be blown away, but you can still have fun with these rooms while in town! read more

The company I work for decided to do this as a team building activity. At first, it didn't sound too appealing to me - being locked up somewhere and having to figure out how to get out? No, thanks. But I was positively surprised how entertaining and fun this ended up being. We were divided in different groups. I was assigned to the zombie room. They give everyone the matching attire for their room. While I was scared the whole time that something could jump at me, it was so fascinating and interesting how to solve all the different tasks. I think we made it in the last couple of minutes (if not the last minute). They have young team members who kept it fun and entertaining. I totally want to go back now and try out the other rooms. I can highly recommend this Escape Room. It is in the heart of Downtown Miami so street parking can be difficult to find and expensive! I remember they validated some of the parking at the garage next door but not sure if they always do that. read more
