User:Zarekrunic/sandbox/The Fox in a Box Room Escape

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fox in a box is a global company of live room escape games. The company was founded in Budapest, in 2013. The first games were opened in Novi Sad, Serbia and Vienna, Austria. Today the company successfully operates centers in Europe, United States of America and Asia.

Exclusive showrooms are located in Sweden (Stockholm), Austria (Vienna) and California (Los Angeles, USA).

An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. The games are physical versions of "escape the room" video games. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations, such as prison cells, dungeons, and space stations, and are popular as team building exercises.

The earliest room was created in 2006, and escape rooms became popular in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Canada, Israel, and mainland China in the 2010s. Permanent escape rooms in fixed locations were first opened in Asia and followed later in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America.
