Mark as done to rate
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?

(Bad Guys Version) Impressive set design! First half of game required a lot of critical thinking. Four players would be ideal due to room size

The subway set was so realistic, including the feeling of motion. The neat idea in this room is that it offered a choice of being the good or bad guys. That may have been a "big decision", but afterwards it still felt like a normal escape room. In palying, we realized how much we try to "game the system" and guess what is left in a room and what is going to happen next because there were obvious puzzles that it turned out we didn't need because they were for the other version.

For this game we picked no which is the good guys. You can technically play either game before the other one. This room was frustrating to play because a lot of the puzzles were mechanical and very finicky which was very frustrating. We had to do the puzzles more than once and then eventually the system would recognize we had did the puzzle correctly…we even asked the GM about it later and he said that’s just how the puzzles are in this part of the game

This room is so cool! It’s crazy how there are two totally different rooms in one room, based solely on your choices. We liked both versions a lot, and even doing them back to back it felt like 2 different rooms which was super cool. It does mean that this is a harder room because there’s a ton of stuff in the room that’s only related to one, but as long as you follow the story it works well.

Would not recommend as first game at location. Loved the other rooms played but debated not playing any other one because of this room. Disliked because of a few puzzles specifically. Would not recommend for mid experienced players.
Gameplay
I disliked the game as a whole because of puzzles towards the end. Chose criminals and really liked the split path concept. Once in the last room 1 puzzle had too much information to digest and too little room. Another puzzle was so impossible to discern audio clips that we couldn’t get the code and had to be given it. Felt like this room did have the best signposting out of all the rooms played so far.

Solid room from quality company. One puzzle was overly ambiguous with necessity of discerning subtle color differences and gauges that did not work properly because it was thunder storming outside.

Kept my group of 6 entertained and engaged.

Gamemaster said guages on one puzzle malfunctioning due to strong thunderstorms outside. Didn’t slow us down more than a few min but did require us to get help.
