Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express

This was a pretty rough experience. Staff were overworked and it showed. The game was not reset correctly, hints were replaced in the wrong order. The GM ended up walking into the room midway through the game and asking us to step outside while she rearranged the remaining clues into a solvable order. The same GM was running T least 4 games, so when we needed hints we had a 3-4 minute waiting period before we got a response. Outside of that, there were multiple broken room elements, and some magnet-based solutions that were very very precise. All in all a frustrating game.

This was the most challenging room we have done so far, but that certainly didn’t stop us from liking it! A few mechanical hiccups were disappointing (two different unrelated items didn’t function as planned - need some TLC to function property so that they don’t waste the time of other guests), but altogether the challenges were a good time.

This is such a hard room you really need 90 minutes tbh.

Did not complete the room the first try but will be back to try it again and will beat it in the next time. The room is designed well and flows well with the storyline. Look forward to playing it again.

This room decor definitely had you in the vibe of the storyline and the puzzles were manageable. The only thing j didn't like was that you had to be so precise with placement on a few puzzles that if you didn't have then in a very specific spot nothing would happen. I fully believe that we would have escaped if that wasn't the fact.

every room we have done at escapology has basically been the same gameplay, with the same layout. there’s always a few puzzles that they have to walk you through because they’re just it quality and confusing. i always say you can tell the difference between escape companies that do it for the money vs companies that do it because it’s their passion, and it’s evident that escapology, all locations, are for the money. we’ve done a few rooms because the storylines sound fun, but we’re always left disappointed. officially won’t be returning.

We went on the opening night for this room and were unfortunately unable to get clues because staff were (understandably) very busy. I’m sure others will be able to escape, as we were very close even with little help!
