The Prison escape room in Chicago

Wrongly convicted. A riot just broke out.
This is your only chance.

Inmate fileNo. 48291

Your sentence

The justice system is flawed and imperfect. You discover this first-hand having been sentenced to life in prison, without chance of parole, for a crime you did not commit. All requests for appeals have been denied. The only path to freedom is to breakout, but you are in a maximum-security cell and are constantly monitored. Suddenly, a riot erupts in another prison block. Your guard has left his post.

This is your only chance for liberty. Are you quick-witted and resourceful enough to escape?

Good to know

  • Designed for a team of 2–6 players.
  • Every room is private: you only ever play with your own group, never with strangers.
  • Players under 14 need an adult in the room with them (one adult is enough, and that adult counts as one of the players); ages 14 to 17 need a parent, guardian, teacher or chaperone on site, but not in the room. A parent or guardian signs the waiver for players under 18.
  • Want the child-friendly version? Call us at least 24 hours before your game at (312) 291-1127.
  • If you have any concerns regarding flashing lights, separation anxiety, or extreme claustrophobia, please contact us directly or tell your Gamemaster when you arrive.

What players say about The Prison.

13/10 Marshall and Molly carefully weaved a backstory that added to our prison experience. I’ve never felt so safe being blindfolded. You will leave with a personalized gift to cherish for the rest of your life.

Such a great time! My wife and I had never done an escape room before and we had so much fun. I can’t say enough good things about our game manager, Steven, who did an incredible job helping us but at the same time allowing us to figure things out for ourselves. The Prison Room was challenging (we didn’t escape but got very close!) and the hour flew by. We want to try out all of the escape rooms at Fox In A Box now!!

We did the prison escape room with a couple of friends and had an absolute blast! Very well designed for the right amount of challenge. Thanks to our facilitator Lin who gave us just the right amount of help and positive affirmation :)
