Operation Arctic Storm: The Final Meltdown

We had a great time doing this room! We called in and booked it for 2 even though online you can only book for 3+. With 2 people the room was a little tricky but definitely doable, and we finished with around 12 minutes left. The theming is super cool, the room is huge, and there is lots to do, so it would be fun with a larger group as well. We also really liked the live actor interaction, which added a lot of humor to the experience. The rooms here are top notch and I highly recommend them to newbies and enthusiasts alike!

The best this place has to offer is outstanding. Plenty to do, uniquely oriented room and very immersive.

Biggest escape room I’ve ever played this far. You can definitely tell how much time and love they put into this room! Had such a blast.

The Escape Ventures always set the bar so high and Arctic Storm was no exception! The set is absolutely incredible and we had so many laughs along the way. They were kind enough to let us play with just our group of two but it’s definitely a beast for less experienced players. We were blown away by the puzzles and theming at every turn. I didn’t feel as though the actor was totally necessary to the story but she definitely kept us entertained and laughing the entire time. I’m sad to say we have now completed all of the rooms at TEV and you cannot go wrong with a single one. Definitely in the top of all the places we’ve been. Can’t wait for more!

This was the ABSOLUTE BEST escape room I've ever done! It was very immersive, well built, with unique puzzles and interactions. Lawrence was our game guide and live actor and he was OUTSTANDING!!! I absolutely loved the entire experience. Beware though, the standard for escape rooms just got higher!!

The room had some solid, fun puzzles. The large play space and variety of actions were great. My only critique, and this is a preference, is that I do not prefer when rooms give you puzzle pieces before they can be used. Or when you solve something but don’t end up progressing the game by solving it—as it relies on something else also being solved.

An extremely immersive experience. Though there is a lot of narrative in this escape room, the puzzles are no joke and super fun. One of the biggest escape rooms I’ve done. Highly recommend

I am in love. One of the best rooms I've ever done. Super large set, tons of puzzles, extremely fun to traverse through this story. Note that some spaces are a bit tight - it was a hard fit with a group of 5. A group of 3 would probably feel the most comfortable. This was a super unique experience that has increased the bar for other rooms.

After playing and loving Watcher, I held high hopes for Arctic Storm. It met and exceeded them. It’s not only a massive and surprisingly physical game, but also a great update on the classic escape room puzzle design. With a nice blend of tech and locks, Arctic Storm doesn’t overly commit to one style or tone. There’s some weak points in terms of gameplay, including a puzzle that felt like it was missing some piece of instruction, but this was enveloped in truly stellar interactions. The humor wasn’t for me, but it wasn’t overly present. In contrast to Neighborhood Watcher, the characters were considerably weaker, with the A.I feeling watered down in comparison to the excellent Watcher antagonist, but again, this isn’t a big deal and the room stands on its own as a solid and highly enjoyable game in its own right.

Great game, awesome story to follow and the scenery really draws you in.
