Frequently Asked Questions

What is this?

We are an interactive 'escape the room' style-adventure located in Boston! We're excited about it, and we hope you are too.

What is an escape the room?

Glad you asked! Real life escape the room adventures are games where players (usually in groups of 5-9) are "locked" in a room. Players must work together to solve puzzles in order to escape within a certain amount of time, otherwise they must leave.. in shame.

So.. are you actually locking me in a room?

Nope! We've got a couple of tricks up our sleeves, and we think it'll make the game more exciting.

Where are you guys located?

Downtown Boston. Seconds away from the Government Center T station, or a 5 minute walk from State Street/Park Street station. We highly recommend you take the T/take public transportation here, as parking in downtown Boston is always a bit tricky. Check out the getting here page for a map!

How long is a game? Do I get any hints? What if I don't escape?

A game runs on average for 60 minutes - this will also depend a lot on how you're doing in the room. We do, in fact, have a hint system (you might have to find it though). This isn't an 'escape', so once time is 'up', we'll come in to burst your bubble.

Are you hiring?

Yes! We're hiring both full time and part time employees to help us write and construct puzzles, as well a manage our rooms. If you're friendly, creative, like puzzles, and enjoy a good challenge, shoot us a résumé at jobs@boxaroo.me and we'll be in touch!

I still have questions, comments, concerns and/or a cute cat photo
