Had such a great time in BOTH rooms! I've done escape rooms before and these rooms have been the BEST escape rooms in Tucson so far! They are both challenging in their own way and I recommend both! The instructions given were perfectly clear and the owners are the sweetest people I have ever met. You are in GREAT hands if you have any questions. Overall, I must say, I am pleased with both my experiences and I am lucky enough to say (for now), that my two groups hold the record in both rooms! Good luck to all the future participants and THANK YOU Fox In A Box for bringing a fun experience to University! read more

We had a great time would definitely recommend. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Zombie Lab was challenging but not overwhelming. Everyone in our party had a great time and would go back and try their other escape room before going to any other in Tucson. Only problem was I accidentally booked for 4 and wanted 3. I immediately called them and they said it was fine. However I never got a receipt and when my credit card bill came it was billed four 4 people. Follow up to above. After hearing of this they refunded my card and also gave voucher for additional room. Again, I would recommend them over any room in Tucson. read more

My office arranged for our whole team to do Fox in the Box as part of a staff training/retreat. It was a ton of fun and the owners were great at briefing and debriefing us before and after in a way that related to working as a team, different leadership styles, etc. Great non-cheesy teambuilding experience! My group did the zombie room and I was SUPER impressed at the production value and the seamlessness of the "lab" environment. The puzzles and challenges required many different approaches and were technically/mechanically interesting (not just solving number puzzles or finding hidden keys). I happen to love zombies and the creepy vibe was lots of fun (but not over-the-top gory or scary). I'd rate it PG-13, I think. The overall experience incorporated lights, sounds, video, props, secret spaces...it was perfectly immersive. The whole experience lasts about an hour. They currently have two rooms: zombie lab and diamond heist. The diamond heist is supposedly slightly more challenging, but the zombie room didn't feel overly easy either. I also love that this place is owned by a young enthusiastic couple, UA grads interested in bringing something cool to the community! read more

This was my first escape room experience and I completely loved it! If you're a fan of hidden object games, puzzles or adventure games I'd highly recommend it. I came here with a group of twelve for a club event so we split up into two groups. My group took the zombie room ("medium" level) and the other group took the bank heist ("hard" level). We saved the world, they were arrested. They brief you before the game and I was antsy and just wanted to get started but the briefing was really important in preventing you from wasting time. I really enjoyed the puzzles because they weren't just guessing/process of elimination type of things which makes it more satisfying and less frustrating. Highly recommend it for an outing, I'm definitely going back to try the other room read more

I went to this escape room with my dad and it was the most exiting thing we have done in years because you had to use your brain to figure things out and you even got hints every 10 minutes that turn out to be very useful, a recommendation that you could use is to use the things the employee says because it turns out to be very useful. read more

$117.00 for 2 adults and 1 kid. Sooo overpriced for what this was!! I felt totally ripped off after we were done. (They don't discount children, and the pricing was not really explained to us. ) We did the zombie room and what a let down. It looked like they just went dumpster diving and decorated the room with those items and called it good. It was like they put absolutely no effort or thought in the appearance or ambience of the room. After we were done one of the staff members told us that the Western theme would've been better for kids. I wish the person who took our money at the actual location would've let us know. (They were not enthusiastic at all about helping us or explaining how anything worked, and it felt like we were bothering them by being there.) So I don't know who all these other people are talking about that were so great because those employees were not present when we were there. read more

We had such a fun time. We did the Zombie room and loved it. What I feel is the best part is that it is really good for such a wide range of ages. Our Wildcats loved it as well as our 13 year old and my husband and I. The owners are lovely. We can't wait to go back. read more

Fox In a Box Tucson - Zombie Lab. - Escape Games Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Did both the bank and the zombie room and both of them were great. First time doing an escape room and had a lot of fun! Definitely recommend going read more

See all

This is a really fun escape room. They have three options ranging in difficulty, we went into the one for a zombie apocalypse. The rooms are challenging but it gets easier if you have more people in your group. They're good at giving you hints and there's a video screen that can show what's happening outside the "lab" while you're working. Interactive and really fun! read more

This was my first Escape Room. We didn't escape, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We did the Bank Robbery Room.

YES! YES! YES! This was hands down the BEST escape room that my family and I have ever been to. The props were super realistic and everything was in theme. The clues were given in a way that was easy to understand without compromising the integrity of the game. We did this room with two teenagers and a 9 year old. Everyone was engaged and had a blast. We will be back! read more

Fox In a Box was a great family experience. We had family down for graduation weekend, and wanted to do something more interactive outside the normal movie theater experience. I've done a few "escape rooms" in the past, but this by far beats them all. The customer service was amazing, the staff really took their time explaining the room and the concept. The level of detail on the props and puzzles was also fantastic. I highly recommend going to Fox in a Box! read more

Fox In a Box Tucson - Escape Games Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This was so much fun! We did 2/3 rooms in one night, and had a really great time. I loved that the rooms were private, so it was just our party, and that the puzzles in each room were incredibly different. I definitely want to come back and do the last room! read more

Most Fun I've Had In A Long Time Did The Zombie Lab With Some People While Our Other Friends Did The Bank One We Both Came Out Hooked And We Are Planning On Coming Back And Swapping Rooms ^_^ Heads Something About A New Room Coming Hope To See That Soon Enough read more

Robbed the bank! Excellent, well thought out puzzles. With every clue you got a great rush of excitement, and the whole thing seemed to build and build. Solved it with about a minute left on the clock! Would love to try another one. Super pleasant folks behind the desk made us feel right at home--it was our first time going to one of these puzzle rooms. read more

First experience with an escape room with friends and family and this won't be the last! We did the zombie room and had an absolute blast! Very impressed with the customer service, explanation of "what to do", and the overall experience. Not sure how often the room themes are changed around but when we went, they had the zombie theme and the bank theme. Especially enjoyed the fact that we were able to actually solve the clues/puzzles...I initially expected to be stuck in there for quite a while. Ended up solving the whole thing with ~3 minutes to spare. Absolutely a great time and I would highly recommend this as a way to have some very unique fun! read more

Best escape room yet; valuable experience that is worth the price tag! The design was elaborate and intentional. There weren't any misleading or confusing design flaws. The atmosphere is fun and exciting. The difficulty is just right. Neal and Caitlin were professional, friendly, helpful and down to earth. I believe they are the owners. We will be back this week for more! read more

Lots of fun even though we didn't make it out of the bank robbery. Owner was friendly, professional, and helpful. We did it with 3 adults and 3 kids (11, 13, and 14). Everyone liked it way more than they thought they would. The only downfall is that it is expensive, but it seems all the escape rooms are. read more

A enjoyable evening of doing puzzles with friends! We will most definitely be back, Caitlin and Neil were wonderful and their escape rooms are top notch. If you're looking for a Team building exercise, an excuse to nerd out with friends or just something to break the monotony of a Tucson night out, Fox in the Box is the place to go! Exceptional customer service as well. read more

The escape room was unique and difficult and very fun! This place really challenged us and the owner is very interested in making your experience a great one! Enjoy!!! read more

This was so much fun! We did the easier one (Zombie scenario). Definitely for a group of friends and a way to start your night (near the university bars and a walks away from 4th ave)! :) I will be back for sure! read more

This was my first escape room experience and oh man was it fun! Neil was an excellent host(?) and did a great job with the whole experience. The facility was really set for the atmosphere of the experience, and I really enjoyed the video before we started. I've already told my husband and roommate that we're doing this for the next birthday. read more

Best put together rooms I've been to so far. Directions were clear. We did the Bank room it was really cool. I liked hearing all the statistics after we finished. When we needed clues they didn't just tell us they slipped pictures under the door to help you so you still had to figure it out. I liked that a lot. Pretty awesome experience. read more

Escape room enthusiast here with 125+ rooms under my belt, I feel like I have a good idea of what rooms should be like and what to expect. My bf & I headed down to Tucson from the valley to do some rooms. We were originally booked for both their Zombie Lab and Bank Heist rooms. And while labs, science and zombies are not in the realm of where our interests lie, we did it anyways because it got really good reviews. In fact, both of the rooms has great reviews. I liked the Zombie Lab. I think it was very well done and it had some unique puzzles that we hadn't seen before. I always enjoy being impressed with things like that. There is one task in the room that does not require any brains and is more of a physical task (but don't worry, it's nothing you work up a sweat over) and while I guess it was ok and kinda neat, I don't prefer to see those kind of elements in escape rooms. To me, escape rooms should be about your wits not any physical abilities. We then did their Bank Heist room and we enjoyed this one quite well. Again, there were different than your typical puzzles and we really appreciated that. There was one snafu though when the GM reset the room prior to us starting. He forgot to leave a very important piece of paper in the room that, without it, the puzzle was impossible to solve. So we were forced to use a hint. There is another puzzle where you have to be able to identify various famous landmarks across the world and also know the currency type in these countries. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the room to help you with this if you don't know it. Same thing with another puzzle involving country flags. You can likely guess through it if you don't know it, otherwise you're forced to ask for a clue. I feel like this is an area for improvement and that all of the information you need to solve any puzzle should be available in the room. We did ok with these puzzles though so it wasn't a big deal for us but I still think the information should be available somewhere in the room, if needed. There were some fun and clever puzzles in the vault and we really enjoyed them. After we finished the second room, we were asked if we wanted to try out their third room while we were there since it had just opened (less than one week ago, I believe) and they were interested in getting some feedback from enthusiasts on it. We are usually very leery of doing a room when it first opens because all of the kinks typically haven't been smoothed out yet but we were on a high from having escaped their first two rooms and we liked them quite a bit. So we decided to go for it, fully expecting it to be equally as good. Their third room is a Wild West room. It is aesthetically pleasing and has a neat vibe to it even though Wild West themed rooms are very overdone at this point, IMO. While the room had unique puzzles that could've been fun to do, there were repeated fails because some of the things weren't working correctly. This became very frustrating, very fast. Unfortunately, it got to the point where I was frustrated enough to where I, mentally, checked out and just wasn't that into the game anymore. And that's a bad place to be. Also, the final thing you have to do to solve the room is a bit anti-climatic. But had everything worked as it was supposed to, we probably would've liked the room. But the multiple mechanical fails and the multiple interruptions from the GM to come in and fix it, really just ruined the experience. The GM (owner Neil) was very apologetic, empathetic and a little embarrassed, which I appreciate. But we spent almost $80 for just the two of us to play that room (and it was at their request), on top of just doing their other two rooms as well and we definitely did not get an $80 experience from this room. I'm disappointed with how our time at Fox in the Box ended and wish we hadn't agreed to do the Wild West room after all. Save your money for now so you're not their guinea pigs, too. Give them more time to work out the bugs and then try it. read more

My husband and I took our family here to celebrate his mothers birthday! It was such an amazing experience! The perfect gift ! It was challenging but we worked together and found the diamonds ! We cannot wait to try the zombie room! They do not offer refreshments so be sure to bring water ! read more

Our group of 4 engineers tried out the bank robbery room and everyone agreed it was awesome! The bank was perfect for 4 people, it spanned 3 rooms and good spacing. We had a lot of puzzles that could be worked on simultaneously or rotated through so not everyone was clustered up together staring at any one single problem. The puzzles are varied and inventive, and are they are dense enough that you will want to use your clues -- it isn't just giving you the answer, so there's still a bit of thinking involved which still kept it interesting! The owners were super friendly and helpful even though I had to keep changing appointment times. We'll definitely be back again for the other room. read more

What an amazing experience! I have tried other escape rooms in Tucson and this one is by far the best. We did the bank room. It is very interactive and keeps you engaged the entire time. If your looking for a fun night out, date night, or just something different then this is it. Thank you Fox in a Box for keeping me entertained. read more

Had a blast in the Zombie Lab! From start to finish, a top notch escape room experience--staff are friendly and helpful, room is immersive and totally themed on point. A variety of tasks and puzzles keep you on your toes and hold your interest, offering just the right amount of challenge and reward for efforts. Can't wait to try the bank heist! read more

This was amazing. The price was great to have your own experience without having to be paired with strangers. The game was interesting and challenging without making you feel like you are not smart enough. I have done other escape rooms before but this was by far the best experience I have ever had. Even the greeting upon entering was amazing. The back story of the owners made the game mean even more. I recommend this location to everyone. read more

We had never been and went with our children and grandchildren- such fun- well organized, clever, creative and lovely staff. A really fun time working together as a family and enjoying lots of laughs. We give it five stars. read more

Such a fun escape room! I have done all 3, multiple times!! Set up super well and employees were so nice.

What a great night! We did the Central Bank room with a group of friends for my husband's birthday and it could not have been more fun. Well organized, the attention to detail in the room was amazing and the personalized attention by the husband and wife owners was awesome. We can't wait to go back to try the Zombie room. The location is perfect to grab dinner and drinks before or after (or both!) and parking was convenient. I highly recommend Fox in a Box! read more

We heard about fox in a box through google searching things to do while in Tucson. They weren't lying. The central bank room was a blast. 5 of us felt challenged and extremely proud when we solved the puzzle! Awesomely helpful staff who really loved to see us succeed. All ages highly recommended! read more

Fox in a Box was super fun! I'd been to another Escape Room in the past and it was very small, the puzzles were not very interesting and it was also kind of confusing. But the Zombie Room at Fox in a Box was great. A good challenge for those who don't want to rush through it, but not undoable and frustrating. The owners were amazing too. After we finished the room, they came in to congratulate us but also to spend time talking with us about the experience and asking what we thought and if everything was fair. I'm sure they must get bored talking to everyone about the same room, but they seemed genuinely interested in what we thought and how to make it better. The room itself was great! So many great and unique puzzles and I loved how they incorporated technology and items into it instead of just looking at pieces of paper. I can't wait to go back and try the other room. read more

This was my first ever escape room experience and I absolutely loved it! I came with a group of 6 of us (which is the maximum per room) and we all had a blast! The owners of the place are super friendly and very knowledgeable do they were able to give us a brief history of escape rooms. You can tell that they want everyone to enjoy the experience as much as they did when they did their first escape room which is great! I would highly recommend this place! It is relatively new but I think it'll really take off over the next couple months! read more

We had a great time finding the cure! None of us had done an escape room before, so it was a great first experience. Neil and Caitlin were excellent hosts! We will return to try and rob the bank! Highly recommend fox in a box. read more

Our daughter and her friends spent her birthday trying to save the world from the Zombies in the Zombie Room!! They had a blast and did it with 59 seconds to spare. We will definitely return to try one of the other rooms! Lots of fun!! read more

It doesn't matter if you have never done an escape room or are someone who loves them and have done a lot of them, these rooms are for you. We did both rooms at this location and thought both rooms were great. The zombie lab room is a bit easier than the bank room so if you've never done one you might start in the zombie lab, and no there is no zombie in the room with you. The owners were fantastic and also fantastic at being game masters for their games. I loved their booking/reservation system. We like to play rooms by ourselves and not be combined with people we don't know so it worked well for us. We also liked their hint system, one of the best we have experienced. You really must do these rooms if you like or even want to try escape rooms. It is located on University so there will be plenty of food options in the area if you want to grab a bite to eat before or after you play. read more

I have always been a fan of escape games online and have even previously tried a real escape room in California (which was not very fun and pretty disappointing) and decided to bring my club's executive board to this new Escape Room in town as a team building exercise. And it was INCREDIBLE! So much fun to be a part of, they really did well with all the different elements and making it difficult yet logical. It was such a fun experience for all of us and we escaped with 7:53 to spare. The adrenaline and coming together as a team towards the end was great! Unforgettable experience that I will continue to promote to others and we are looking forward to going back for the Bank escape! read more
