This was a fun game with immersive theming. Think Murder on the Orient Express. Lots of challenging puzzles and very few locks. Mostly linear game flow but plenty of room and opportunity for larger groups. There are 6 game spaces and with only two people we did a lot of running around (in a good way) but this might be minimized with more players. Two thumbs up from this crew.
Gameplay
Game flow was mostly linear and flowed very well. We were never stuck trying to figure out what to do next. There were a few novel puzzles. All were fun.
Atmosphere
The train hallway is a little sparse on decoration but you spend very little time there and the other train cars are all more elaborately decorated. Props were high quality and detailed. Special effects were great with moving scenery outside the train windows and train sounds throughout.
Customer service
Our GM Ruby was great.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
I liked the fact that there are 6 game spaces that you can (eventually) access simultaneously. Most other train games you move forward from one car to the next.
Story
The story was the basic whodunit on a train but the room setup was different from most other train games and all elements were well integrated.
Difficulty
Medium
Challenging in a fun way but not overly hard.
Game tech
High tech
Only two key locks and two spinners. Everything else is mechanical and everything worked perfectly.
Ideal number of players
2
We escape with a team of two but more people would reduce the amount of running around.
