Let’s be real – the work Christmas party can go one of two ways. It’s either an awkward sit-down dinner where you’re stuck between your boss and the guy from IT, or it’s a chaotic pub crawl that ends with someone losing their phone and oversharing, riddled with anxiety when they wake up the next morning.
But this year, there’s a better option. Fox in a Box, Adelaide’s biggest escape room, is the easiest way to make your Christmas party actually fun.
Housed in the old GU Film House on Hindley Street, Fox in a Box has turned the classic end-of-year get-together into a proper adventure. You and your colleagues will be locked in one of 11 themed rooms – from breaking out of prison to stopping a nuclear disaster – and you’ve got 60 minutes to crack the codes, solve the riddles, and make your grand escape.
“With themed rooms, clever, story-driven puzzles, immersive sets, and dedicated Game Masters who bring every adventure to life, it’s more than just an escape room – it’s a fully interactive, cinematic experience,” shared business manager Sheldon.
From the moment you arrive, you’re part of the story. It’s fast, funny, and guaranteed to bring out everyone’s true personality (especially the ones who think they’d survive a zombie apocalypse). And the best part is that there’s a licensed bar – with alcoholic and non alcoholic options – and catering on site. So once you’ve escaped, you can celebrate properly with drinks, platters, and post-game debriefs in their spacious lounge.
The team has designed two Christmas party packages to make planning effortless. There’s the Festive Dash, a one-game package starting at $38 per person, perfect for a quick, high-energy session. Or the Epic Holiday Bash is a two-game option starting at $72 per person for those who want to keep the adrenaline pumping.
Groups of 45 or more even get exclusive venue use, turning the entire escape room complex into your own private playground. Plus, every booking includes a dedicated event host, group photo, and 20% discount vouchers for your next visit (because once you’ve escaped once, you will want to go back).
Fox in a Box can host up to 66 players at once, making it ideal for big teams, office parties, or even friend groups who want to mix up their annual friend-mas celebrations. And because it’s indoors, you don’t have to worry about Adelaide’s unpredictable weather ruining your plans.
With catering options like antipasto and fruit platters, sandwich boxes, and even bakery selections, it’s a Christmas party that’s easy to organise – and we all know how hard it can be to coordinate a big group.
“As the best rated and most popular escape rooms in Adelaide, Fox in a Box offers a unique, interactive experience that promotes teamwork, communication, and problem-solving—all while having fun!” the team shared.
“It’s a refreshing alternative to traditional parties and perfect for strengthening team bonds before the holidays.”
So skip the sit-down dinners and stale conversation. This year, lock your team in a room instead, and watch them work their way out together. There are still limited spots available for sessions in November and December, so secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
Fox in a Box gift vouchers are also available (Kris Kringle, anyone?)
