You are world-renowned Detective Hercule Poirot, aboard the famous Orient Express. You have just solved the murder of Mr Ratchet, the man found stabbed to death in his cabin after being proved guilty of abducting and killing a young child - Daisy Armstrong - the daughter of a WW1 hero. However, just as you are preparing to deliver your verdict, new evidence reveals one of the passengers aboard the train has a much more deadly plan. One of the suspects is determined to put the entire tragedy behind them, and is involved in a chilling plot to end the lives of everyone on the train. Critical elements of the train’s brake system have been secretly removed and the Orient Express is gently gathering speed as it descends the most treacherous part of the mountainous route. On its current projection, the train will derail at great speed on the sharp curve atop the towering Simplon Viaduct in precisely 60 minutes. Your objective is simple - find the potential killer and repair the brake lines to stop the train. Failure means certain death for all, while success means solving the most famous crime in history, and saving everyone aboard. Solve the riddles and puzzles, gather the evidence and catch the murderer before it’s too late! Do you have what it takes to save all the lives on-board? Time is of the essence!

Well done escape room, with a few surprises along the way. Very clean as well, and all the set design and pieces really enhanced the story. Fun to play but there were a few things that keep me from rating it a “Heart”. For one, they limit your hints (which is fine for experienced players), but if you ask for anything past 3, they take away time for each hint, which has to be difficult for new players, or players that find this room difficult in general. Secondly, I just didn’t have the best guest experience with the staff/my game guide. I’m hoping it was a fluke, since we all have our off days, so a return is definitely needed, but just not at the top of my list because of these things. Overall, if you love Agatha Christie murder mysteries, or just want a nice cozy ride on a beautiful train, I would recommend this room.

This was a really great room overall! Such a HUGE difference from Budapest express, which in my eyes is the first version of this game. One of the best sets Escapology has rolled out! Staff was also super nice and the entire space was very welcoming and relaxing!

We did this for my friends birthday and it was very fun. All objects are well maintained, we had a bit of a tough start but it is a more challenging room. we did manage to escape thankfully although we did have to have some assistance on the first puzzle. Smaller spaces but the rooms are well kepts and overall it was to the T very themed and in line with the novel.

My first ever escape room and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With a mix of mechanical & technical puzzles/environment it felt very immersive. The room design felt exactly like you were on a train. Although, I’d opt for more unique rooms in comparison.

It was weird playing this room since it replaced a very similar room, Budapest Express. None of the puzzles were repeated, which was good. Some of the puzzles were very challenging and unique, but they were a bit confusing. There also seemed to be too many puzzles for a group of 2. We guessed on some puzzles and got lucky. I enjoyed the use of tech and scenic in this room!

The theming of this room was really well done but the puzzles were insanely difficult and just did not make very much sense at all. My group and I struggled and got frustrated in this room trying to piece together how each puzzle worked. Did not enjoy.

All the rooms at this location have excellent theming. All can be done with two people. This room was really fun. Great tech. Last puzzle was super hard.
