Howdy ! Were writing the year 1866, somewhere deep in the wild wild west. You and your friends are heading in a southward direction on the most modern steam engine train of the United States.
Upon a peaceful night follows a sudden awakening:
The train’s machine operator disappeared overnight!
Yet the train continues to barrel down the tracks with full speed, heading towards a turn right next to a deep canyon.
Can you open the door to the engine room and stop the train in time, before it reaches the sharp turn and derails into the ravine?
You have 60 Minutes, hurry up …

Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our game in Steampunk Train, and I wouldn’t recommend playing it. Play the Horror Circus at this location instead! 
The Game Masters are very friendly, and we were treated great =) 
However, the game itself needs some TLC, as most of the props and scenery show their age. The set was ok, unfortunately it feels more like square rooms than actual train waggons. We liked the idea of a steampunk train, but to be honest the game doesn’t have much to do with steampunk except for all the gears on the walls. Otherwise it’s a very classic Western setting, where robbers want to steal the gold on the train and have planned for the train to derail in 60 min. Unfortunately this doesn’t carry over to the game itself, no real sense of urgency is created. 
The puzzles were also just okay, as they are quite time consuming, and not in a fun way. There’s some riddles in the game that you’d find in a „Logicals“ magazine and some time consuming physical puzzles that you need to assemble, which can really only be done by one person at a time. So even with just two players, one of us was often just waiting without really being able to help. 
I think give this game a try if you want to have a challenge to get out in time as it’s their hardest game, but don’t expect anything too exciting theming or puzzle wise. And don’t take too many people!
