Welcome back to another episode of Puzzling Company! In this episode, Zach, Hunter, and Matthew dig into Mibo's virtual escape room: Marvin's Island. The first out of the pair of Marvin's Games provided by Mibo and created by the team at Sherlocked, this web browser experience is built to bring your team together against the humorously malevolent and dangerously sarcastic A.I. "Marvin," who aims to trap you on his island and execute his dastardly plan of world domination. Communicate with one another through proximity voice chat to solve the various tasks and puzzles Marvin has left behind, and travel across the island in a floating robot body with a TV head that broadcasts your webcam to bring your avatar to life. Work together to find your way out and stop Marvin!
