Onboard the famous trans-European Budapest Express, you are with Karine Peaufiner, a famous French detective from Paris. You are traveling to Budapest to meet with other detectives showcasing the latest developments in crime scene forensics. It is nighttime and you are passing slowly through the heart of Europe during a heavy snowstorm. You are reviewing case notes in your cabin with Karine and your colleagues. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, it is the train manager. He looks worried and asks you to come quickly to the First Class dining coach. When you arrive, you see a man slumped over a restaurant table. He was Sir Clarence Hayden and he has been murdered! The manager informs you that in one hour the train will stop at the next station, if the killer hasn’t been apprehended, they will be free to escape into the night and get away with this horrible crime! Your reputation as brilliant detectives precedes you, he asks you to solve the crime so the murderer can be caught and brought to justice. You’re able to narrow down 5 suspects who were seen in the dining car around the time Sir Clarence was murdered. Moving through the cabins and gathering evidence, the killer knows you are hot on their trail and has decided you are their next target. With you out of the picture, they would be free to escape when the train stops. Solve the riddles and puzzles, gather the evidence and solve the murder before it’s too late! Do you have what it takes to find the killer before they find you? Time is of the essence!
73 escape rooms
My experience in this room was definitely better than my experience in the Mayday room, but it was still not great. My team and I (all very experienced at escape rooms) escaped with only a few mins left. There’s wayyyyyyy too much reading in this room. I am a slow reader and approach text in escape rooms with the idea that it will matter in some way. In a lot of cases at Escapology, it actually doesn’t matter. Or just one word/phrase on an entire page of info does. And we are expected to be able to pinpoint it. Stupid. This game also relies on you remembering what item you get from where; so if you play, stay organized and take notes on where you find things. A few labels could fix this, but I doubt they’ll change it. Also, the staff is not super friendly or helpful. I don’t think they necessarily want their customers to win.
