I'm Aleksei Kniazev. I moved to Seattle from Moscow in 2013, and after years running an internet-marketing agency I opened my first escape room in 2015 with almost no money. Since then I've grown Conundroom into one of the best-known escape room brands in Washington, and also built an axe-throwing venue, a spin-art studio and a VR arcade. This book is everything I wish I'd known on day one.
