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.

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.
Gameplay
A very satisfying mix of tech and mechanical locks. Every puzzle supported the overall gameplay.
Atmosphere
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.
Customer service
Very welcoming staff, and helpful game master.

The train theme was highly immersive. The goals were supported by each puzzle as we worked toward a final solution.
Story
Very well integrated into the sets in the room.
Difficulty
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.
