"TAKE A RIDE" For the past few days, you've been getting a phone call from an unlisted number. You've ignored it for as long as you can, but you finally answer. A mysterious voice answers informing you that you have a package waiting for you, and you can pick it up at the final stop of the East End Express. The only problem is, there is no such thing as the East End Express. It literally doesn't exist! A few days pass, and a letter arrives for you in the mail. It contains a subway card, and an address with the message: "Your adventure starts now." Your curiosity firmly piqued, you head to the destination. Upon arrival, you discover an abandoned subway platform. Could this be the home of the East End Express? Mysteries will unravel and adventure awaits, but do you have the courage to get on board and take a ride on the East End Express? **This experience contains a choice at the beginning which will dictate the rest of the room. It contains two very different missions and can be played twice, so choose wisely! **

For this game we picked yes which is the bad guys. Our group enjoyed playing as the bad guys better than playing the good guys. You can technically play either game before the other one.

We played both versions of this and really liked both. Obviously, whichever you do second is faster, even though there isn't any overlap, but they're both cool. We actually disagree on our favorite, we each liked different version most. There's a good mix of puzzles and styles, from some are very brain heavy and some are very physical. It's cool to see both in the same game, and they're well spaced. Love the way the story flows, too.

My least favorite experience from Memphis Escapes. Extremely good atmosphere but the puzzles just all seemed extremely obtuse. Multiple times my group got frustrated by puzzles in this room which is rare for us. I wonder if this is a syndrome of a room being two track or the day we played we just all were off our game. I still would recommend this experience with the caveat that this company has better offerings.

This was a fun room! We did the “good” track this time. There were some neat puzzles; however, this got downgraded in my mind because several of the puzzles were non-intuitive

This was my second time playing this room, and my complaint for the second track is the same as my complaint for the first: there are too many oblique puzzles that expect you to be able to intuit things that are non-intuitive. That being said, there are also some really cool and unique puzzles that we loved!
Gameplay
Some really cool puzzles, but sometimes it didn’t flow well because it was hard to know what had happened when you solved a puzzle.
Atmosphere
It looks like a straight-up NYC subway station
