Can you solve literature’s most famous crime? You are world-renowned Detective Hercule Poirot, aboard the famous Orient Express and have just solved the murder of Mr Ratchet, a 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, you find out about a more deadly plan. From earlier investigations, you’re able to narrow down six suspects, but now, you must find the killer and repair the brake lines to stop the train before it speeds off the railway. Failure means certain death for all, while success means solving the most famous crime in history, and saving everyone aboard. Will you gather the evidence and catch the murderer before it’s too late?

Great production value and interesting puzzles. At least for our group, we struggled to solve the puzzles within the hour timeframe provided, and someone provided us hints unprompted out of necessity. Seems to be a reoccurring issue with this room that groups cannot solve the room within an hour. I’d say the room justifies a 90 minute play, if that’s feasible.

Great room and GM worked well with us- games were challenging but not impossible. Would recommend this room and company!
Flowed well- used rooms several times (no red herrings).

We'd played a "train room" once before but didn't enjoy it as much as Murder on the Orient Express. The puzzles were all challenging, but fun, and all supported the goals of the game. There were fun surprises throughout the game. We enjoyed this so much we stayed to book another game room at Escapology.
A very satisfying mix of tech and mechanical locks. Every puzzle supported the overall gameplay.
Highly immersive! The props all supported the game and the special effects were very well integrated and above the level of the average escape room.
Very welcoming staff, and helpful game master.
Yes
The train theme was highly immersive. The goals were supported by each puzzle as we worked toward a final solution.
Very well integrated into the sets in the room.
Medium
The puzzles were mostly straightforward, but the solutions were all beyond obvious. We felt like we needed to take the time to think through every clue before proceeding to try to solve each puzzle. A very satisfying room.
High tech
Mostly tech with some mechanical thrown in. An excellent mix.

We played with 3 but could have used some more minds. The room is relatively small and would have been crowded with more than 6.
Not scary

The theme lends itself to interest by itself, and this place did a stellar job with it!
