Operation Gryaznayavoda

Delightful from the front door to the final solution!

When we called on the phone, the owner told us not to get our hopes up, because we had done 100+ rooms and he wasn't sure how this would stack up. But we were blown away, and this was easily one of my favorite rooms I've ever done! My hubby and I completed it with just the 2 of us, and we made it out with only 5 minutes to spare. The creative use of technology, the narrative, and the unique puzzles were all incredible. A very memorable ending and lots of impressive set pieces we've seen before made this unforgettable! Stop reading reviews and just go!

Absolutely outstanding room and host.

Absolutely loved this one. Really high quality and obviously so much care is put into these. Gus and Patrick were fabulous hosts. One of my top rooms of all time. Clever, delightful, and fun. We did it with three enthusiasts and all had something to do at all times. Four would have also been fine. Can’t wait to try the third one at this location!

This is one of my favorite rooms I’ve done (50+ rooms)! Gus is absolutely fantastic and deserves all the love. Had a great Friday night :)

Fun fun fun 1980s Cold War themed room that will tickle your heart strings. Variety of novel puzzles provided a great flowy challenge for my group of four. Combine with Lambino’s casino first if you can for an extra mini game…and the super sanitary game show if you can for a hella good time. GM/creator is 11/10 - I’d watch his standup if he does it.

Absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend doing all three games here if you can: there's bonus content before, after, and between games, which makes all the content flow together. This room had a ton of variety, and worked quite well with four players: we were able to split up and work well in parallel, without anyone standing around, but you were all close enough that you didn't feel as though you missed out on half of the game. There were also a few fun unexpected mechanics that were delightful discoveries: there were multiple exclamations of "OH THAT'S SO COOL" when we figured out how a puzzle worked. The hint system was also cheekily novel, and worked seamlessly with the whole theatrical experience. Way more fun than shouting into the void and seeing a note on a monitor. We normally try to complete all rooms without any hints, but didn't mind them at all here, as it just felt like a natural part of the story.

The pre game experience set the tone for my entire time and my group has so much fun in the game. My sense of whimsy was tickled.

Just go. Stop reading the reviews, book the game now. Okay, if you are still reading, I don’t remember the last room I had that much fun in. Literally from the moment you step into the door, you know you’re in for a good time. I believe our GM was the owner, but he had us in stitches from beginning to end. So welcoming, just delightful. The room is a blast. Unique, quirky, I wish I could take everyone here. I wouldn’t take a massive group because the room would get cramped with a bunch of people in it. We had 4, including a friend who had never played before, and it was a perfect size. I sort of feel bad because his first escape room was so incredible that it’s going to be challenging to find one to the equivalent of this. Go support In Search of an Exit!!!
