Marvo Mysteries: M.A.R.V.O. Induction

Definitely lived up to the reviews, however like others have said I think we were in 5th gear the entire time we had no idea of the storyline.  This doesn't really bother us though. Felt quite chuffed to escape at their 41% success rate with an average of 8 clues when we only had 1 (we're usually terrible 😂) 

Absolutely fantastic and worth a visit. The people behind this place are wonderful.

Was ok

We ended a mini escape room holiday with Marvo’s and what a finale it was! 

As soon as we got to the venue the high levels of detail and quality were event just from the shop front. The fun began immediately, having to follow the clues to the secret entrance where we were greeted by atmospheric music that set the tone for what was to come. The waiting area was a true feast for the eyes with a cacophony of film artefacts, building on the pending excitement for the room. Our games master, Lizzie, was clearly passionate about the business and made us feel very welcome. 

Onto the room, we knew that Lizzie and her husband had designed all of it themselves and this made it even more impressive to us. The room was packed full of engaging puzzles; creative, logical, physical, etc. As well as this, the setting, props and automated mechanics were outstanding. As a drama teacher, I often friend the pre-escape instruction videos cringeworthy with poor acting, however, this was not the case, and it was further enhanced by the setting and projection technique. The narrative of the room was well thought through and clearly linked to all of the puzzles; what’s even better is that they are planning to extend the narrative with two future rooms! 

After we complete an escape room, we always have a debrief and we are very critical. However, we were full of praise in our debrief, with the only niggle being a loose wire connection holding us back in one of the puzzles - absolutely minimal and it did not stop us from escaping. 

We highly recommend this room and advise you to split up and communicate effectively with your team. 

A fantastic game with a great variety of puzzles and plenty of theatre. There's a lot of drama once the game progresses and the finale is something to behold. It's simply one of the best rooms in the uk. Engaging and enjoyable puzzles with a great theme to back them up. I can't wait for chapter 2!

Aesthetically very appealing. Certainly a must do for enthusiasts but not without its flaws (I really didn't understand the story).
