Oligarch’s Office
Secret Escape Room Adventure
Note: This adventure takes place inside Tiny Business Group offers shared office spaces, mail services, attorney support services, shared receptionist, and related services. The receptionist is unaware that we are running an escape room out of their office. She thinks you are just waiting for an appointment. We are trying to see how long we can keep the secret.
Plot
An American politician took nuclear launch codes with him when he left office and sold them to an oligarch, Mikhail Petrov. Mikhail has now stolen the nukes and is offering them to the highest bidder.
Mission
Our team is ready to seize the nukes, but your team must first disable them. Posing as reporters preparing to interview Mikhail, you secure an appointment in his office. We’ve drugged his vodka, so he should be napping for at least an hour.
Objective
- Search his office: Find the nuclear launch codes.
- Disable the nukes: Ensure they cannot be used.
- Be discreet: Do not disturb anything in the office. If Mikhail figures out what you’ve done, he can simply change the codes before we get the nukes back.

Rules
- Respect the Office: This is a real office used for client meetings. Leave everything as you find it. Do not write on anything and be gentle with the props.
- Phone Use: You may use your phone or call a friend.
- Do Not Use the Computer: It is a real computer in a real office and contains no clues.
- Comfort Adjustments: You may adjust lights, heaters, and air conditioning for comfort, but there are no clues in or on these items or electrical sockets.
- Ceiling Tiles: Nothing is hidden behind ceiling tiles, and you don’t need to stand on anything to find or retrieve clues.
- Minimal Force: Don’t use brute strength to open anything. If it is meant to open, it should open with minimal force.
- Freedom of Movement: You are not locked in. You may come and go as you like, but the receptionist may become suspicious. To reach the restrooms, go right and take the first hallway to your left. The first two doors are restrooms.
Good luck, agents!
