About the author
Hi there! My name is Aleksei Kniazev and let me tell you about myself.
I moved from world capital of escape rooms Moscow to Seattle in 2013. At the time I was doing internet marketing for various businesses and Maze Rooms escape rooms from Los Angeles became my clients. After making them one of the most popular escape rooms in Los Angeles, I realized that my little brother Tikhon and I have enough skills to open our own escape rooms Conundroom.
We have opened our first escape room “Express” in 2015. Same year we have opened “Mona Lisa Heist”. Half a year later we decided to diversify our business and opened virtual reality arcade “Odyssey VR”. In 2016, we helped to open quest “The Castle” for Quest Factor in Seattle. In 2017, we have launched “Ex Machine” in which Bill Gates has played. We have launched "School of Magic" and "Crafted" in 2018 and 2019 accordingly.
In 2020, we decided to diversify our business one more time and opened an axe throwing venue in Redmond “Pacific Axes”. In spring 2020, we launched an online escape room "Imaginarium" and despite COVID-19 opened a quest "Alice in Wonderland".
We continue walking along our path in the world of escape room business despite all hardship and obstacles that stand before us!
