Mark as done to rate

A classic murder mystery at high speed - do you dare to take on the case? The year is 1934. The midnight train from Paris to Prague cuts through the darkness of the night, the wheels clicking rhythmically against the rails. You are standing in a quiet compartment. Outside, the passengers are sleeping peacefully – unaware that a murder has just been committed. A man is dead. A well-known – and notorious – lawyer named James Lazenby. Five people on board have a motive. But no one knows who did it… yet. As assistants to legendary detective Hermes Pepper, you're used to mysteries. But this time, it's different. Your trip to a prestigious detective conference has suddenly become a race against time - because Hermes has been called away, and now the entire investigation rests on your shoulders. The train arrives in Prague in exactly one hour. If you don't find the murderer by then, the perpetrator will disappear into the crowd - and justice will be lost. Can you piece together the clues, unravel the motives, and uncover the truth before time runs out?

The story of this room is that you have to solve a murder mystery in a train compartment before the train reaches its final destination, allowing the killer to escape. Without spoiling too much, we can say it wasn't the butler—in fact, we can't really tell you who the killer was, even though we completed the room. Our impression was that the puzzles didn't support the storyline very convincingly, even though the setting creates a good atmosphere. We were not impressed by the introduction videos at all, as the gamemaster could easily handle this task much better. As a general note regarding Riddlehouse rooms in Copenhagen, we strongly advise against trying them when the weather is warm, as there is no ventilation or option to open any windows. It was unreasonably hot when we tackled this room. The room is estimated for 2–6 people, but our assessment is that 6 is a bit too much, as the puzzles create a bottleneck where it is difficult to involve everyone. The gameplay is linearly structured. Our experience with the puzzles and their solutions was that they had a simple structure, lacking creativity compared to several other rooms we have tried. There were a few puzzles that earned points for creativity, but unfortunately, one of them was broken, which caused quite a bit of confusion since it wasn't marked as out of order. After completing the room, there was a broad consensus that this was not among the better rooms we have tried, which was a combination of the heat (it felt like a sauna) and the structure of the puzzles.

6 escape rooms

I think it was disappointing. Everything was completely worn out, and some of the puzzles could not be solved because the locks were worn out. It was an incredibly boring escape room, as they had the most boring puzzles. The story was very boring. The design of the room was absolutely horrible. You can do better.

Gameplay

It was very plain. It didn’t really work out, and the gamemaster was to no help.

Atmosphere

Not great. One big room, the room looked almost like a bedroom

Customer service

NO! The gamemaster looked like he was tired, and just wanted to go home.
