You are world-renowned Detective Hercule Poirot, aboard the famous Orient Express. You have just solved the murder of Mr Ratchet, the man found stabbed to death in his cabin after being proved guilty of abducting and killing a young child - Daisy Armstrong - the daughter of a WW1 hero. However, just as you are preparing to deliver your verdict, new evidence reveals one of the passengers aboard the train has a much more deadly plan. One of the suspects is determined to put the entire tragedy behind them, and is involved in a chilling plot to end the lives of everyone on the train. Critical elements of the train’s brake system have been secretly removed and the Orient Express is gently gathering speed as it descends the most treacherous part of the mountainous route. On its current projection, the train will derail at great speed on the sharp curve atop the towering Simplon Viaduct in precisely 60 minutes. Your objective is simple - find the potential killer and repair the brake lines to stop the train. Failure means certain death for all, while success means solving the most famous crime in history, and saving everyone aboard. Solve the riddles and puzzles, gather the evidence and catch the murderer before it’s too late! Do you have what it takes to save all the lives on-board? Time is of the essence!

It was an okay experience. The room theme was really good, I'm huge fan of Agatha Christie books and I feel on that part they nailed it. However, some puzzles were messy, not properly reset and some felt they weren't that relevant to the game. It felt that GM were rushing us to play and get out, clues were a little bit condescending and unnecessary sometimes since they were given while doing the try to solve the puzzle. Good to have the experience but I wouldn't go again at least to that location

Overall, I would give this a 2/5. The theme was good and some puzzles were great, but the terrible customer service and improper resetting was what killed it for me. The game was ok. About half of the puzzles were really cool and unique and the other half were a mess. I think some of them weren’t reset properly because we skipped almost a whole section. It was definitely challenging but for more reasons than one. The game masters and hosts seemed like they were trying to rush us through the whole time. Our host was not friendly and just put us in the room with very minimal interaction. Our game master gave clues that we didn’t need or ask for and weren’t very helpful. It felt like she thought we were stupid at times.
Some puzzles were great, but others were just a mess and didn’t make much sense. It was pretty 50/50
Game host was not very friendly and game master was giving hints that were not helpful

Some puzzles we were able to guess or skip over so I don’t know if it was because it was properly reset

Tough. There is a reason why this one was their hardest room. Lots of puzzles with some not being very obvious at what they need you to so some trial and error needed to be done. This one has been the room that has gotten me the closest to losing. Definitely for more experienced escapers.

Very cool room with a focus on great unique puzzles that we really enjoyed. Solved a mystery and saved all of humanity. Ok maybe the last part was a stretch but it was a nail biting finish!

This is by far the most difficult of the games here! We still really enjoyed it! You don’t need to know anything about the book or movie to understand what is going on. Just got to be quick…

Lots of fun. We played the original Budapest Express and were surprised when this game was updated. Lots of fun and different. Beautiful, immersive set with fun games that are challenging but fair.

I brought my dad to play his first game and he loved it. I think this is a game that’s geared toward a group of 2-3 more experienced enthusiasts but it was still so enjoyable! The theming was nice and it has a couple of my favorite puzzle mechanics. I look forward to playing all the other games at this venue!
