Undercover the truth of Operation Gryaznayavoda once and for all!
“It’s great! Definitely one of those where you want 4-6 people, split up and then solve. There’s a bunch going on all once so ask yourself if that’s your vibe. If it is, you’ll have a great time, but if you prefer linear, you’re going to be sorting through A LOT of clues to find the one that’s relevant to you.”

In Search Of An Exit is excited to host the return of Double Dog Dare Ya after a 30+ year hiatus! Larry Lombino is back and better* than ever!** (*“better” is subjective.) (**certainly better than in 1990 when he was cryogenically frozen due to his crippling anxiety disorder, at least.)
“One of the contestants pictured described this experience as “the single most fun thing [she] has ever done in [her] adult life.” This was an hour and some change of pure shenanigans, hijinks, and laughter. Gamemaster Patrick was beyond accommodating for our group and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire event.”

Explore Vinny Lombino’s poker room, untouched since 1988.
“It’s the best type of classic room there is. A few master locks, no major bells and whistles, but just an excellent room nonetheless. If you’re into 80s tech, this is straight up made for you. I’m a 90s kid so I don’t share the same nostalgia but I still had a kick. I prefer this one over the Russian themed room although they’re both good. Smaller groups recommended.”

You are members of the guild known as Nox Venatores, monster hunters! You have discovered the fate of Arthur Holmwood, sadly he did not make it. Your next mission is to seek out the most powerful vampire in history, Victor Bathory. Find out why all other members have failed in his destruction and put an end to this scourge once and for all!
“I go through life with a number of assumptions. I LIKE to think I am pretty confident. I LIKE to think I am brave. I LIKE to think I am a leader. In essence - a T-rex, an alpha predator. This room proved me wrong. I am prey - I am a rodent and I am apt to freeze when I cannot see. I am the LAST person to volunteer to crawl into the dark hole and the first person to ask for a hint to get out of the room faster. And I LOVED it - if you desire to have your friend group howling with laughter as you cower and shriek because someone bumped into you in the dark - please give this room a try. I cannot recommend it enough”

You are tasked to track the assassin to keep his next target alive. Can you save the day or will you fall victim to the assassin’s deadly game?
“This was one of the best single-room games I have played. The set is very unassuming, in an apartment, but is an amazing use of the space with more than it meets the eye. The puzzles were unique and memorable. I recommend this game”

A disaster has shaken Portland—and the coffee is gone! Puzzle your way through a quake-damaged cafe, uncover vital supplies and learn real-world emergency preparedness skills as you search for the most important survival item of all: coffee! Play the Shaky Grounds Cafe, the only Escape Room that just might save your life.
“This one is special. Absolutely loved this room! Super creative puzzle play and a real-world concept that isnt cheesy. We had a blast! I highly recommend. If you've done a good amount of escape rooms, i would give a small piece of advice, -dont be afraid to try something! I dont want to give spoilers, so just be aware that there are puzzles that are not what you find in the average escape room. (Extremely cool lol) definitely think outside the typical escape room box 😉 its an impressive room! Don't skip out on this room just because its not in a brick & mortar. We were more impressed by this room than most of what we played in CA. Big thanks to Tyler for being a great host. He is a cool guy and really kind! I'd be more than happy to do any room this dude is involved with. Creativity was outstanding and raises above majority of escapes out there.”

You’ve escaped a serial killer’s basement kill room only to find yourself trapped inside his house! The Vantucky Ripper has given you 60 minutes to find your way through his twisted game of madness! Are you ready for Ronnie to take you to the next level?
“Outstanding immersion: rain, and thunder, boarded-up windows, spectacular performance of the live actor. No-touch policy but a few nicely done jump scares. Birdy was the live actor/game master and she is amazing at doing her work: she adjusted well to the players. One perception-based puzzle was expert/super hard difficulty. We played as a team of two; better bring three or four players for the optimal experience. I was also happy with the number of different rooms. This is a gruesome setting, we did not like it, especially when you have to touch certain objects, but some people may like the setting. Play this room soon because they are going to replace it with a new room this year (2026).”

T’was some time before Christmas when all through the Shop, an alarm had been blaring and screaming nonstop! The toys were not made, the machines had not moved, with candy canes found everywhere leaving all behooved. You’ve sprung to the site to help where you can, can you solve all the puzzles and establish a plan?
“Candy Cane Conundrum is an escape room that will just have you smiling from start to finish. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you are guaranteed to get into the Christmas spirit by the end of this experience. As for the puzzles, most are straightforward but it does help to have another set of eyes or ears. We did this room with 2 people but I think 3-4 could be a good number as well if you’re going for record-breaking time. Some puzzles are mechanical and some may require physical agility aka crawling or climbing up the stairs. There are accommodations if you find the physical aspect to be a little too much. We didn’t get a chance to do the other rooms in this location but we would have done more if time allowed! Our game master brought all the energy and we appreciate her! Parking is not the easiest during the busy times but if you go one street over, you might be able to snag a spot.”

Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
