“The Murk” concludes
Owliver’s first Virtual Escape Room Event, “The Murk” concluded with a bang, and a superhero rescue! Swathi was saved.
15 teams tried to free Owliver’s special agent. In the end, Escape Artists from Stratford School won the first prize. Optimum Trübe Escapists from Sheiling House School came in a close second.
Swathi is happy to be back, and is out there ensuring that real news reaches you. For that, stick with Owliver!
