Time travels could often be useful in everyday life. For example, on our last escape trip through the french and german speaking part of Switzerland, when we lost the parking ticket in Zurich and therefore arrived too late in the Öderlin area for the escape game.

From the first step you take into the room, you are immediately part of the game. Door-E welcomes the guests and, after a short briefing, sends them on a journey back in time to 60ies in the old town of Baden. The mission is to help a famous historical person of the city with her – hmmm, let’s say – „recipes“. Every child knows that you should wash your hands and fingers after working and certainly not put them in your mouth. We probably weren’t really careful enough and got the receipt for it: An immersive escape trip in the truest sense of the word, in which reality and fiction merge together. The different and mostly cooperative puzzle tasks are incredibly creative, sometimes make you question your own sanity and definitely show the escape room enthusiasts what side effects the intensive escape trips could have. The game setting is designed with great attention to details, has some funny parts and it integrates perfectly in every scene the theme of the story!

It all started in 2017 when I was looking for an alternative program for Florence for my graduating class: In addition to the many cultural visits, the teenagers also wanted to experience something action-packed and adventurous and that's how I came across Fox in a box. The description on the internet sounded really cool and so I booked a few slots for my class. One of my students was afraid to play, so I jumped in and enjoyed game. The only stupid thing was that my inner circle of friends couldn't be won over by this passion - but my godchild's wife was. She was already connected to the scene via social media and immediately she received a request from Heiner to take us part in an escape tournament. So the story started and right noe I celebrated my 500th Escake.
