Skurrilum: Malvini’s Legacy

Our first escape stop in Hamburg during our Escapade weekend. We were so excited to start our evening with an 11pm room in the middle of a busy party street. We loved the setup of the room, we started in complete darkness which really put us in the mood. The whole room and puzzles really makes you feel like you are in a magician secret room, loads of puzzles are very smart and we loved ever minutes of our escape. There were a lot of red herrings and we didn't manage to really see what was actually a clue or part of a puzzle but it added to the feeling of immersion as we still escaped in time. Well escape is a big word as our objective was to find Marvinis book of immortality and not technically escape. This is what was surprising with this room as it wasn't ticking all the box of what you expect in a room (more than on room, no escape through the same door, the game master not entering the room) but with its flow and the story being well explained and executed, we enjoyed every second of it! With 5 of us in the room, we didn't feel overcrowded but we also didn't feel like we were missing out on clues or puzzles being solved by each others. Really clever room!

Good fun, but showing its age a little compared to the other rooms - lovely props, and a couple of lovely puzzles. Would still recommend but not in the same league as the Ernies.
