Imagine this: you’re standing in a room full of mysterious objects. The clock is ticking. Your team is looking at you. There’s a mission. A mystery. A race against time. Welcome to the world of escape rooms, a world where you play the leading role.
WHETHER YOU’RE A BEGINNER OR A SEASONED PLAYER
At Fox in a Box Zutphen you’ll find rooms that surprise, challenge, and connect.
In this blog, we’ll take you into the world of escape rooms. What can you expect? How does it work? And why is this the perfect activity for friends, families, and colleagues?
What is an escape room?
An escape room is an immersive 60-minute adventure where you solve puzzles, follow clues, and crack codes together. You’re immersed in a theme, from bunkers and bank heists to legendary secrets, and you must collaborate to complete your mission on time.
You’re not actually locked in, and you don’t need to be a puzzle genius. Anyone can join in.
“It felt like we were in a movie, only we were the main characters this time.”
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose your adventure
At Fox in a Box Zutphen you can choose from:
The Chamber of Lost Legends: unravel the mysteries of a forgotten world
De Bunker: dismantle a dangerous threat in a military setting
2. Meet your Game Master
You’ll be greeted by an enthusiastic host who explains everything and is there to make your experience fantastic.
3. Start your mission
Through a short video or story, you’ll learn your task. The clock starts ticking… and then the game begins!
4. Escape! (or not)
Search, think, puzzle, work together. Can you escape within the hour? If not, no worries—the experience is just as great.
“We just missed it, but we laughed so much. Even more reason to come back!”
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AND THE ANSWERS)
Are you really locked in?
Nope! You can always leave the room if you want to. Safety comes first.
What if I don’t know anything or can’t solve puzzles?
You contribute in other ways. Everyone thinks differently, and that’s exactly what makes escape rooms so fun. And if you get stuck, you can always ask for a hint.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, we highly recommend it. Our rooms are popular and often fully booked. You can book quickly and easily via the website.
