The Carl and Jinger family create a surprise "mystery escape room box fort" for their kids, Kyle, Luke, and Gage. The kids think they're just building a box fort for a 24-hour slumber party, but instead, they're locked in and have to solve puzzles to escape within 24 hours. The parents provide clues and challenges, and the kids work together to solve the puzzles. After overcoming three puzzles, including a jar with a stick and ball, a complex dial puzzle, and a sliding puzzle box, the kids finally escape the box fort and are rewarded with pizza and a hot tub party.
