Exploring team outing ideas in Chicago?

Fox in A Box was AMAZING!

Our game master was sweet and helpful. She explained everything really well, and gave us just the right amount of help to make the experience challenging but accessible and super fun. One of my teammates has been to over 10 escape rooms in Shanghai, but she’s still impressed with the experience. We are booking our second trip!

Great team activity!

We had so much fun in the bank heist room. The staff here is lots of fun and professional (made sure masks were on in open areas!!).

Done over 80 rooms... this one ranks as excellent!

We've done almost 80 rooms and this one ranks as excellent! We booked Bank first because they said it was the hardest; it was a great challenge, but never felt obtuse or frustrating. We escaped and had so much fun that we booked a second room for an hour later. Now my team just has to make our way back to Chicago so we can do the other two rooms! I also really appreciated the easy online booking, ability to sign waivers in advance, ability to text instead of call, and their very clear and thorough covid policies.

This place more than earns all of those stellar reviews

Our team has done dozens of escape rooms, and this has got to be one of the best. Game master Adam showed us such a spectacular time that we pleaded with the manager to let us stick around and try out The Bunker. Both of our game masters were witty, amiable, and skilled at catering our experience to our style. The rooms themselves are designed well and have clever puzzles with a clear trajectory. I highly recommend Fox in a Box!

Fox in a Box provides the ultimate team-building activity in Chicago.

We offer great corporate team-building exercises for work that allow teams to discover and perhaps renegotiate their internal relationships, increasing their problem-solving skills. A diverse array of companies using Fox in a Box Chicago have experienced these benefits firsthand during their events.

We cater to your company’s quarterly team-building events, meetings, and conferences while also offering a fun escape from the office.

Fox in a Box undertook the game design and production for the world’s first Red Bull Mind Games World Championships; we designed the escape game room for James Corden’s Late Late Show and built the BMW escape room in Munich to develop skills and foster bonding for BMW employees.

Our Chicago location has a 5.0 rating on Google, Yelp, Trip Advisor, and Facebook since 2015.

Escape Room
Concept

Escape Rooms are ideal for corporate events as they make fun team-building activities. Working together in teams allows you to use logic and creative thinking and improve communication. These are all key skills needed to be able to solve a variety of clues and puzzles to achieve the game room’s objective! You must think outside of the box because not everything is as simple as it appears!

During the game, players will be pushed to challenge themselves, express innovative ideas and connect with everyone in the room. Forget the everyday team office hierarchy, and collaboration is the key to escape where you will be immersed into a unique story! Plus, it is a fun group activity!

We all want our "team" to work as a team, but usually they act as individual silos

Coming together to solve a challenging, but tractable problem gets a team working together

And having saved the world (or escaped a killer), breaks down barriers between silos which is the crucial step to operate as a team

Our schedule varies from week to week and seasonally. However, for corporate team-building activities and events, we can usually open up more.

Call us at 312-787-7899 if a date you want is unavailable.
