    Amazing experience - best escape room we've done
    Everything about the experience was great - from the prompt and helpful customer service on the website, to the imaginative instructions on how to enter the building, the space given over to the adventure, the staff doing the briefing and leading us through were great - full of energy, engaging, imaginative (thanks Agent Bobbie!). Loved the whole set-up in the waiting room and in the rooms for the adventure. Loved the props and the breadth of tasks. Loved the customer service throughout. Overall, the best escape room we've done (we've done about 10). Very enjoyable experience.

    Brilliant birthday party
    8 of us went today for my daughters 12th birthday. This is my 5th escape room and one of the best. The puzzles were hard enough to make us think and have to work out what to do but not too difficult that we didn't have a clue what to do. Absolutely brilliant and would highly recommend

    Marvellous fun at M.A.R.V.O
    It was a truly immersive experience from the moment we walk through the door! Agent Bobbie made us feel really comfortable even though it was the first time for 2 of us and we probably count as ancient artefacts ourselves! The setting was really engaging and the quest was complex but fun and rewarding. Agent Bobbies communication was perfect as she let us investigate ourselves but had some hints if we needed it. We were very excited to get out with 40 seconds to spare! Birthday cards at the end were a lovely personal touch. We can’t wait to return for the next game

    Good place to while away an hour or so.
    Good fun to while away an hour or so especially with torrential rain outside. The actual escape does get your brain thinking and the characters help things along. Quite expensive for the amount of time doing it....slightly cheaper gets you 5 stars.

    An immersive escape room that pays dividends!
    Having done around 50 escape rooms with my wife, this is probably in my top 10 experiences. It's so much better when it is not just one of the chains they have now. Even the waiting area and set up was excellent with lots of handmade memorabilia to peruse! It was a busy hour with a good range of puzzles and everything is automated so you feel like you are in charge of progressing. The quality of the builds and the steampunk aesthetic make it very immersive. David was a great host and it was nice to chat to him after about the new room coming up. We will definitely be back!

    Excellent!!!!!
    Me and my family went after my sister's graduation, just as something to do in the evening. It is honestly one of the best escape rooms I have ever done. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and ensured that we all felt comfortable before entering. Dan was amazing, he had a great sense of humour and ensured the more nervous amongst us felt okay before entering. The props were fantastic and the room was so well designed. Hints were only given as needed when we got really stuck, but otherwise we were left to our own devices to figure it all out. I can truthfully say that when they open up their second room, I will 100% be going to continue the adventure. I recommend this to anyone who is in the area and wants something fun, but different to do.

    Brilliant escape room! A must-do!
    Had an amazing afternoon at MARVO! Big thank you to David who made the experience extra special and immersive! The escape room puzzles were the right balance of not too easy but not ridiculously hard, it’s a fun challenge with lots to do! Really enjoyed it and can’t wait to come back next year for part 2!

    The best Escape Room I have experienced!
    Four of us did the Marvo Escape Room and it was incredible. I have done a few but this one blew me away. Loved the back story and concept. From the moment you arrive you are immersed in a fantastic adventure. The staff give great characterisation from the open adding to the overall experience. The room itself was excellent, really well thought out puzzles presented with high quality and care. I cannot recommend this enough, worth every penny and the best I have experienced.

This was our first visit to an escape room and we were not disappointed.
The problems were sufficiently difficult to keep us thinking but not so hard that we gave up, and we completed the mission, which for a mum and twins who constantly bicker and argue was a miracle!
The place is set up brilliantly and the attention to detail is phenomenal from the clues in the booking email to find the way in, the waiting room, and the task rooms and props themselves it all added to the whole experience.
All in all a different way to spend a bit of quality time with my children, just a little pricey, but with no other similar experiences to compare this too I’m not going to mark you down. We’re going to head to some more rooms locally to see whether your price reflects the quality of the quest because yours appeared to be top level on enthusiasm of the host and attention to detail.
Please please let us know when the next quest is ready and we will be there!

I cannot rate this escape room more highly, we had such a laugh, the friends we took said it was the most fun they had had in ages! What was really notable was that we had two 15 year old girls with us who enjoyed it as much as the four adults - when does that happen!

The room was extremely well put together, both in terms of the clues/puzzles that had to be solved and the props used to solve them. The couple who own the business are experts in making sure you immerse yourself in the experience, right from the moment you enter the building, the atmosphere this created added to the experience. I obviously can't give anything away but safe to say that there were moments of laughter, squeals and gasps throughout the 1 hour activity. We did managed to 'escape' but that was helped by there being six of us to work together - there was so much to do!

The owners pitch the room as a cross between Sherlock Holmes and the Crystal Maze, they were not exaggerating - absolutely brilliant and definitely the best room we have done to date (We have visited two other rooms in other parts of the country).

I will be keeping a close eye on when they finish building the next stage of the adventure!

I booked M.A.R.V.O escape room for my daughters 15th birthday party and we had an excellent time, we were a team of 4 teenage girls and 1 middle aged mum and the whole experience was brilliant. The booking was easy and I was sent regular updates about the booking and what to expect upon arrival. On the day the mystery started before we had even entered the building but I won’t give anything away here! Our host was fantastic, she stayed in character the whole time and was friendly and engaging and really set the scene for what was about to happen. Some of us had done other escape rooms in the area and all agreed this was the best by far. The props and artefacts were fantastic with everything in great condition and excellent working order. The rooms were also very authentic with an incredible attention to detail, there was plenty to do and lots of things that kept participants engaged and interested. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I’m happy to say we all escaped unscathed. At the end we were invited to don some hats for photos which were later emailed to all the participants at no extra charge which was a lovely touch. We all got badges too and my daughter had a lovely birthday card an an extra badge as a momento of her day.
I would highly recommend this escape room above all others in the area and would like to say a massive thank you to everyone involved at M.A.R.V.O for creating a really great game.

Firstly, kudos to the creators, Lizzy and Steve, for setting up a wonderfully immersive experience.
Having checked out top things to do in Bournemouth for our week long visit for myself and my two young children (aged 12 and 10), we were excited to try this based on reviews (something I have not always been keen on - and certainly never written one).
From the moment we entered we were transported into a mystery world cleverly designed and meticulously thought through, will say no more rather than risk spoiling for others.
I will add that it was a fun, exciting and rewarding experience for the three of us and we are looking forward to including a second experience on a future visit to the town.

Wow, where to start.

Firstly Lizzy and Steve the creators of this escape room deserve medals - they have worked so hard. They hand made every single prop and item and you can tell so much hard work has gone into it.

Without giving too much away, this room is better than any other escape room any of us had done. The detail is INCREDIBLE, everything has been thought through.

At the beginning, once you booked you will know before it all begins and before you even arrive the fun begins (I can’t give this away either!)

Storyline is incredible from start to finish, I can’t even explain it as much as I want too as you need to try it for yourself and obviously it’s all a secret but we were amazed, and these 2 deserve all the credit.

We escaped the room with just 30 seconds to spare and the adrenaline was sky high throughout.

Lizzy spent some time talking to us after explaining questions we had and telling us that there will be a part two in the next year or so so we will definitely be back!!

Everything about this escape room is to the point and perfect. Literally perfect!

It’s NOT scary as in horror - it’s just the best thing to get your mind moving!!

We had the best time, thank you so much!! SO worth the money - more interactive and detailed than any other escape room.

Thank you!! :)

We visited during our week long holiday staying near Bournemouth with 2 adults and 2 children aged 14 and 11. It was definitely one of the highlights of our week and a new experience to us as we'd never done an escape room before. It's obviously not a cheap activity (cost £100 for our family of 4) but as part of a holiday or a special day out it's worth it. Our host Bobby was excellent and was especially good with our youngest son who absolutely loved the whole thing. As the website says over 12's we weren't sure how he'd get on but I would certainly recommend it for any sparky 11 year olds too!

Amazing experience - We had a warm welcome from Lizzy who guided us through to the start of our experience in a really friendly and enthusiastic way. From the moment we entered the premises we were amazed to think that all the props were hand made such was the quality of what was on display. We had never done an escape room before but this will certainly not be the last. The clues were well thought out and gave us a real challenge. Our teenage grandson really enjoyed it. The hour that you are allowed to escape really flies and a you get a real sense of achievement on completion. I would recommend Marvo and i cannot wait to go back when the next room is finished

We took part in the escape room with my wife and 2 kids (Age 11 and 8). I’d originally planned to do it as an adult day out with some other grown ups, but Covid ruined that plan.

The experience was superb. The set is great; lots of mysterious lights, motorised props that move and an intriguing plot line. It all looks and feels incredibly authentic.

The kids had an amazing time too. Obviously the grown ups did a lot of the work, but both kids got really involved and even our 8 year old kept up and saved our skins on a couple of occasions!

A great time was had by all; I’d thoroughly recommend.

And yes....we escaped. 😁

From the entry instructions, your adventure starts... Entering the loading bay and into the reception you are blown away with the attention to detail. Artifacts, maps, trinkets and discoveries fill cabinets and the walls for you to look at whilst you wait. Lizzie was fantastic at pointing out "Harry Potter" discoveries to our daughter, who was nervous, and put her at ease.

The briefing done, we enter and the adventure begun... no spoilers here, but I shall say, the hour whizzed by and we escaped with 4 minutes to spare! The attention to detail is outstanding, not an inch of space is wasted, and some items are used two or three times. With plenty of "oh that's what it's for" and "we need to find" moments you are busy from start till finish. I am honestly in awe of the ingenuity of the creators, as this is something else!

Highly atmospheric and like playing a real life version of Myst with some aspects of the Crystal Maze, Indiana Jones and The Room all in one. Loads of puzzles, loads of secrets, and loads of clever technical stuff. You need to work as a team, and help each other, but there is no space for anyone to take a back seat as you all have to help in parts.

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wish there was more to do! We are looking forward to the new experience as we will be back to tackle that one too! Highly recommended as this is an escape room I doubt can be beaten!

Wow what an amazing experience!! I have never done one of these escape rooms before but I can honestly say it was the best money I have spent in a very long time!! I didn’t want it to end! The experience is so well thought out...we worked well as a team and just managed to get out in under an hour. All the members of our team thoroughly enjoyed it the younger being 16 and oldest 48. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a really engaging hour of fun. I wish it had gone on for longer as I was to engrossed. Thank you to Lizzie who sorted out our booking and also changed it to a more suitable time for us. I cannot wait until the 2nd room is ready to play.
Well done MARVO!
