Outfox - Escape Room - Coralville, Iowa

I've been to a couple of different Escape Room companies and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself! One of my favorite things they incorporated was a table and white board to help lay out and work through the puzzles. A very simple addition, but it was very helpful! While playing our Game Master was vocal and very helpful, considering there were only two of us. After we completed the room, the Game Master told us that we skipped more than one puzzle, and I love the fact that even though I escaped there was still more to find.

All in all, I had a fantastic experience at Outfox and am hoping to visit again and complete the other rooms!

Interesting room and excellent people! We did the Fairy Tale Cottage and had lots of fun! We almost made it to the game board (2 minutes short) but got stumped on the last clue. Definitely not something we've seen before. I was also really intrigued by their use of magnets to open hidey-holes. Very creative! Their attention to detail, both inside and outside the room, was amazing. Very much a fairy tale cottage! Our game master was Shannon and she was very friendly and helpful, explaining the room and helping us when we got stuck. We would most definitely come again!

We called and set up an appointment, was a little nervous about some previous reviews but thought we would try it out because overall the reviews were good/great. We showed up 10 min before my appointment and the door was locked. We called the same person I called to book the room, Alexis. She was confused at what I meant when I said I was there for an appointment and even asked if I had one. I said I called about 24 hours earlier. She stated she was sorry but would take her 45 min to get to the place. She called a manager but wasn’t able to get someone closer to come in. She then admitted she remembered me booking but she wasn’t near the schedule so didn’t put it down. She stated again she was sorry but again would take 45 min to get there. We re-scheduled plans and set it up an hour later. 30 min later she called back and said she wasn’t going to make it (not going to say excuse or if it was valid since I Can’t speak on validity). Overall not happy. This was an experience we want to do and lost 2 hours. We went with a known place in CR. Will never recommend this place and they have lost a potential return customer because we live close and this is an activity we enjoy with our friends.

Really fun experience for the entire family (ages 14 to 50+). Allison was our "game master" and did a fantastic job! The Cabin was the most challenging and the most fun. The Game Play Project was enjoyable and easier to escape.
I'm excited to try their newest room!

Went here as part of a team building exercise, and had an awful lot of fun. you get put in a rather small room with clues hidden everywhere. The room is very dense with clues, and it's sometimes hard to tell what's an actual clue and what's just misleading. We got an hour to solve the puzzle, and I kinda feel like with as many puzzles there are in the room you should get 90 minutes instead of 60, but it was a lot of fun, and I'd probably do it again

I have done many escape rooms and this was definitely in the top. While the escape was contained to only one room, there was plenty of puzzles to keep you busy. There was a large variety of types of clues/puzzles. The game master was very helpful when we asked for clues and made sure our small group kept on track. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a fun, well themed escape room.

A fun, family event or out with good friends. The rooms are small, so go with people who you are comfortable being in high-pressure situations with. We had a blast, and we escaped with just a few minutes to spare. Would definitely do again!

I loved it. This was my first escape room and we did not escape. But the staff was very friendly. We ran into the problem of not being able to open a lock. If we had opened that lock it would have helped. That’s just to say there isn’t a manual to these rooms. They’re hard but really fun. When it was all said and done they explained what we’d gotten wrong. Some of it was like “oh we’d never get that” and other problems we should’ve seen. But that’s part of the fun. I highly recommend. If it’s your first one don’t be too optimistic about finishing unless you have a great team. Now me and my group are officially addicted. Also be warned about red herrings, our room had a few.
