You are captured by a serial killer. Tied up and left in his lair, escape is your only chance. His method of operation is much like one Infamous Zodiac killer had. Has the real Zodiac returned or is this his copycat? You have only 60 minutes to escape, or the next body in a morgue will be yours.

The Zodiac Killer overall was such a solid experience from start to finish, great variety of puzzles, fun storyline, effective scares and a clever use of space. While there’s nothing inherently flashy about this room, the content and layout itself really carries the load as each solve was unique in its own right while still relating to the subject matter of that Zodiac baddie. A couple cool transitional spaces were a highlight as well as the commitment from the staff to get the scares right, plain and simple I really just enjoyed working my way through this one. A well rounded, classic escape room! Fox in a Box make some good stuff.

Loved the story line and the overall concept.This was a very thrilling escape room.It’s hard to describe anything on this app without spoiling the experience for others so I’ll keep it simple ;)

Absolutely LOVED this room!! The staff are so into their jobs, getting involved in their roles as they introduce you to the room and have such great customer service! Definitely got multiple jump scares in this room plus a section where the team gets split up so makes it even scarier! Would recommend to anyone!!

This room had the perfect balance of creepy atmosphere, engaging puzzles and set design. All the puzzles were logical was satisfying to solve.

Having played all but one experience across the Australian franchises, ‘Zodiac Killer’ stands as one of my favourite Fox in a Box rooms. This spooky game delivers charming ‘70s aesthetics tinted with hints of gore. The reason this game shines is due to its wide puzzle pool. It’s their most diverse collection of experiences, with some scarcely found — yet very enjoyable — puzzle types appearing within the ‘Zodiac Killer’ game flow. While this is the room’s strength, the way some puzzles are delivered is its downfall. Red herrings are readily offered at a few points in the experience’s 60-minute runtime. This can cause frustration and confusion, particularly for inexperienced teams and first-timers. On the scariness of the room: despite being the latest potential victims of the supposed Zodiac Killer, no live actors can be found within this room. There is one manually created jump scare, however, and this can be opted out of by discussing with the host upon your arrival. There is one other loud jump scare that may be unavoidable, but, apart from that, this room isn’t by any means the scariest room. Just be prepared for a touch of blood-splatter on a room’s decor. With all of this being said, it’s a great room and arguably their strongest design. Be brave — can you escape in time?
Gameplay was great with decent flow between puzzles. It was primarily linear but had deliberate red herrings that slightly impacted the gameplay. While we were experienced enough to look past it, it is easy to see how a new team would struggle with this.
Fox in a Box always kick it out of the park with their aesthetics.
GM was great!

Story was there to interact with but didn’t particularly drive the experience. It would be easy to leave the game without understanding what the narrative shared.
Medium
Hard for newer teams due to red herrings.
