The Magic of Storytelling: Meet the Baron and His Multiverse

At the heart of BVO’s appeal is a rich story universe. The experience is built on narrative lore that guides everything, from the visuals to the intricacies of the challenges. Enter Baron Von Opperbean, the mysterious explorer whose adventures and actions set the scene for your experience. Who is the Baron? In our story, he’s an eccentric adventurer who has discovered portals through the River of Time, leading to fantastical worlds across the multiverse. Now, you’ve stumbled through one of his portals - and the adventure is yours. In fact, visitors to BVO become the heroes of the story – as a guest, you aren’t just watching an adventure, you are living it!

We believe strong narrative and lore are what elevate an immersive experience from memorable to truly unforgettable. That’s why BVO is designed with a deep backstory, and even live character actors, to bring the story to life. Picture stepping into elemental worlds, surreal dreamscapes, and cyber frontiers – alternative universes where the Baron’s adventures unfold. Early construction is underway on these wondrous scenes: for instance, a vintage steamship engine room that looks ready to sail through space and time. Such settings set the stage for interactive storytelling where every visitor can uncover hidden narratives at their own pace.

This emphasis on story sets BVO apart. As our Chief of Games and Technology Kathryn Hicks explains, “Chris (our founder) is integrating a strong narrative with rich lore and backstory, which I believe is crucial for any immersive experience.” By weaving game-like quests into a cohesive plot, we ensure that every puzzle and challenge has meaning in the story. Influences like The Legend of Zelda, Dungeons & Dragons, Afrofuturism, and multiverse fiction have all informed our world-building, promising a diverse and inclusive narrative tapestry. From adventurous kids to seasoned gamers, everyone will find a story thread to explore.

Ultimately, BVO’s lore is a living story. The full plot is for the dedicated adventurers. Expect mysteries, exploration, and a journey that adapts to the choices you make. The Baron’s previous adventures are an echo of a story for you to follow, but you will write your own legend within his world. If you love the idea of immersive storytelling – where you’re not just reading or watching a story, but actively playing a role in it – the River of Time is waiting for you.
