This weekend, I received a nondescript envelope in the mail. Inside the brown envelope I found a letter confirming my trip to ride the Moscow Metro, along with two tickets. I immediately made the connection toTHQ’sMetro 2033, the recently-announced first-person shooter based on a Russian novel.

But I was curious to see if the rest of the ticket (printed entirely in Russian) had any interesting info or clues hidden on it. According to our Russian translators (we have an entire team!), here’s what it says:
