Team building
Escape with your team outing, celebration, bachelor party or holiday party in Chicago.
Private escape rooms for a group of any size: our four rooms run at the same time, and staggered start times and custom team games take bigger groups. Bring the whole office, split into teams and race to escape, then keep the party going with food and drinks at our partner Half Sour.
- Anygroup size
- 500+team events hosted
- 60minutes on the clock

It absolutely exceeded our expectations.
Went here for the first time yesterday, not really knowing what to expect. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had a group of 6 and did the bank…
Fantastic company event!
We hosted 20 employees at Fox in the Box and had a great time! It was well organized and was a perfect way to get employees together for a fun event…
One of the best.
Our team has done dozens of escape rooms, and this has got to be one of the best… The rooms themselves are designed well and have clever puzzles with a clear trajectory.
Gear up your noggin.
When you get a little older, “clubbing” on a Friday night is just not as appealing anymore. So what do you do? You gear up your noggin and go to an escape room with your fellow old friends.
The absolute definition of team building.
This is the absolute definition of “team building”… I would highly recommend Fox in the Box and Bar Louie for celebratory drinks after you escape!
Our new favorite intern activity!
PEAK6 had another blast at Fox In A Box. I think this is the team’s new favorite intern activity!
Natural adrenaline, no scare tactics.
We had a great time. I appreciated that this was just natural adrenaline, no scare tactics. We’d love to go back!
Fox in a Box was AMAZING!
Thank you for your help in booking this event for us and getting us coordinated with Half Sour – our team had a lot of fun!

Will we be playing with strangers?
Never. Every room is 100% private: your group only. More
How many players can play?
2 to 7 per room, and 3 to 5 is the sweet spot. Bigger groups split across rooms that run at the same time, and with staggered start times and custom team games we can host a group of any size. More
Can kids play?
Ages 10 and up are recommended. Players under 14 need an adult in the room (who counts as one of the players), 14 to 17s need a parent, guardian, teacher or chaperone on site, and Zodiac is 18+ only. The Prison and The Bunker have a child-friendly version for ages 10 to 14. More
How long does a visit take?
Plan on 80 to 90 minutes: check-in, a 5-minute briefing, up to 60 minutes of play and a team photo. Please arrive on time; more than 5 minutes late can cut into your game. More
Can we cancel or reschedule?
Change of plans? We’ve got you: reschedule your game any time up to 72 hours before it starts. Bookings are final once confirmed, so there are no cancellations or refunds. More
