ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A TEST. This is your direct-support Radio Operator reporting the formation of a severe Arctic Storm off the coast of Siberia. All stationed personnel should immediately seek shelter in a class four base or higher. Initiating safety-protocol 118. Commencing auto-lockdown. IMPACT IMMINENT. DISPATCH TERMINATED. The station’s storm vehicle is built to withstand forces of 120 mph winds and is your sole chance at surviving a storm of this caliber. Teeny-weeny problem! – the vehicle has sat dormant for nearly a decade. With no fuel, no battery life, and no access to board without necessary overrides, all recourse of survival is few and fleeting… Will you make it to safety before THE FINAL MELTDOWN?

I recommend this one. Very atmospheric. Puzzles are fun and the game master is good and in character. It’s a big room so the 90 minutes is needed for 2 people which is a lot of fun.
Atmosphere is spot on for every room. Big space and they went over the top to keep the atmosphere great.
Michael is a very good game master and is in character with enthusiasm.

Such an amazing game. The puzzles were very well done and fit seamlessly into the environment. It wasn’t just a random box somewhere. The story’s was really a nice add on and our GM Luke did a great job leading us and also playing along. This is the third room we have down with them and as usual, their sets are amazing. Can’t wait to come back!
Game flowed very well. Puzzles moved and worked very well together.
Great set design. Definitely felt like you were at some remote research facility. Props were well done and also very specific and realistic. Definitely created an immersive atmosphere.
This was our second game with Luke. He is truly so much fun to run games with!

Operation Arctic Storm was a joy to play! The Escape Ventures really hit it out of the park with this game. Well crafted, creative puzzles and stellar set design. Logical progression, fun changes in height, temperature and surroundings. Puzzles were no slouch either. Definitely a puzzle lovers game. A great start to our Florida trip, and a staple must play if you ever visit Orlando. James was our GM, he went above and beyond!
A very well done puzzle fest. Logical, unique, chock full of 'ah ha!' Moments.
Top tier set design. Played with height, temperatures, environment.
TEV staff are always a treat! James was our GM

By far the best escape room I have ever done! This location is amazing and we will continue to visit Orlando just for The Escape Ventures. There were so many rooms and it was so immersive with temperature shifts, a live actor for a moment and different personalized elements.

I have been looking forward to visiting Escape Ventures and they did not disappoint. We were from out of town and played all 6 of their escape rooms in one day. It was such a great time and I cannot thank the team enough for treating us so well and making us laugh, chasing us around, and giving us the best experience of a lifetime. Now for Operation Arctic Storm: At first, I wasn’t sure about what having a live actor in the room with us would look like. I can now say that the actor aka game master helps move the story along and interaction with them is necessary. This made the experience more fun. Without spoiling too much, you will be going to the North Pole and weaving into multiple rooms. This experience had the most wow factor for me in terms of immersion. For a second, I really thought our game master Felix left us stranded in the middle of the Arctic and we had to get out of there with only our wits! Puzzles were challenging but not overtly so. I would say the difficulty level is medium to advanced. There is a slide that they will warn you about. It’s not too steep of a slide but that may be a challenge if you’re afraid of heights.

Just played Operation Arctic Snow - A puzzle did not work and was broken. The room was not properly set up or checked. This was also not a 90 minute game. For the high price paid compared to other companies in the area I would have expected a lot better and for at least the room to be checked before allowing guests to play.
Although the theme was different there was nothing particularly interesting or unique within the room

Far too easy and not as many puzzles which made us finish very early without hardly trying

Easily a top 10 favorite escape room we have done. The room has so many unique puzzles and themes you almost forget you’re being timed.

It was so much fun! I loved the combination of different puzzles. There were a variety of different rooms and landscapes that made it a fun adventure even for people newer to rooms. This game is going to hit top 10 for us. =]

Too long, some of the puzzles were overly complicated and confusing, too linear for how long it was and how many puzzles needed to be solved.
