A great room! There was a lot to work on simultaneously, so it was excellent for a large group. Despite the number of things to do it was always clear where to focus. Great diversity of puzzles, some fun mechanics, and a nice crescendo with the final puzzle. A little bit on the tougher side, which was perfect for our group. Overall, highly recommended.

Perhaps the best escape experience weβve ever had. The host, atmosphere, and gameplay were all top notch. Challenging but not frustrating. Loved every second.

This location is really good at delivering a very unique and immersive experience and this room is no exception. The room is amazing, it has some unique puzzles and their execution is even more unique.

What a fantastically wonderful and daffy experience from start to finish. So many games have generic themes, Operation Gryaznayavoda has such an original story brought to life so effectively. Great puzzles, love how it highlights Portland (a big plus for a visitor to the city, like me) - amazing set. YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME!

This has to be one of the most clever and well carried out escape room experiences I've ever had. Everything from finding the place to starting the game was awesome and utterly unique. Easily one of my all time favorites! While our team of 6 (3 experienced and 3 newbies) didn't solve the room in time, the GM still allowed us to finish the room so we could experience the story and everything. The puzzles themselves are well designed and laid out across multiple rooms in a fairly non-linear fashion but are obvious enough to make you connect the dots. Some of the puzzles are fairly thought intensive so I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't like to think or have a language barrier, but the GM is really awesome at giving you hints when they see you're struggling with something or possibly misinterpreting a clue. Definitely recommend anyone visiting Portland to give this escape room a shot and do so with a group of at least 4 experienced players who communicate well as there are several points where working together is involved.

Probably the best overall locations I've ever been to. We did both rooms back to back, see other review for more details. Operation Gryaznayavoda came second. It flowed very well from the first room and the transition in between. The GM did a great job of staying in "character" in between as well. There were only 2 of us and the website said you needed 4. It was challenging for us to finish but we pulled it off. Some of these puzzles were so unique it was hard to describe to our family afterwards without them physically seeing with their own eyes and doing it. Very fun, very engaging!

Excellent room. Probably our favorite out of 30-35 played!

Operation Gry-whatever is a hidden gem in Portland! The venue was so well themed and had a wonderful storefront, and then game itself was clever and well-designed for a fairly small place. The puzzles were fantastic from beginning to end and there is one specific puzzle that was so good it stunned me for more than a few seconds. The final puzzle was appropriately dramatic and felt both dieagetic and escape roomy in a great way. Absolutely a worthy stop and a great example of how a small space doesnβt mean small fun.

Incredibly immersive game and a wonder GM! Highly highly recommend, all the puzzles felt very unique and all 5 of us were busy most of the whole time elapsed
