The war in the year of 1945 was very hard, especially for the squadrons. Not wondering about that high-ranking officers sometimes poured alcohol for their loyal pilots. A barell full of the finest beer was well hidden at the base and the thirsty pilots took the opportunity to find it when the commander was absent for an hour.

The room is nicely furnished with decorative objects from around 1940. Accordingly, electronic puzzles are probably not used in this first generation room and the operators rely entirely on mechanical puzzles and riddles. The player is offered various puzzles, logic tasks and somehow you will smile oftenly during the game. The flow of the game was well and we had a lot of fun doing it.

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.
