Mark as done to rate

Your detective skills are critical to your survival. On a fast train to Budapest with your fellow detectives, you find out a man by the name of Sir Clarence Hayden has suddenly been murdered! You’re able to narrow down 5 suspects who were seen in the dining car around the same time, but it’s up to you to nail down the suspect before the next stop along the railway. 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.

The set was well done and immersive (for the most part), but at some points it felt like it was trying to hard to be challenging and not hard enough to be engaging. My party of 3 escape room enthusiasts were not huge fans. Not terrible, but not great.

Loved the theme and set design. Like some other games, we were frustrated trying to figure out morse code on an audio feed that was tricky to hear and had to run all the way through before restarting. Key item/clue was missing from the room as a former group had broken part of the item off. GM's apparently knew this and didn't tell us until AFTER the game was finished. Luckily, we were able to escape by working through final clue multiple times guessing the final number to solve it.

Gameplay

Fun gameplay but felt very scattershot running back and forth between rooms. I liked the flow, others in party did not.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere and immersion, props and design were very well done and interesting. Definitely some distraction items in there though.

Customer service

Staff was very welcoming and accommodating, although while we managed to figure out the last clue after numerous attempts, we were informed after the game's end that a crucial piece was missing and that's why it was so difficult.

Clue piece missing. GM apparently knew this, but didn't tell us until AFTER we luckily managed to escape anyway with a few minutes to spare after guessing the final number for a combination.

Set design was pretty solid, almost felt like you were in a train car including the monitors acting as windows. Really good idea. Puzzles were ok, staff was great as usual.

A simple, yet fun linear room that makes you feel like you're actually on a moving train. Mostly traditional locks and a room you can do with 4 or 5 people, veterans and newbies alike. You must be cautious of where you grab items from in the room as their location is key to solve two or so puzzles.

After completing all of the rooms available from the Escapology chain, (at the locations near me) this is probably one of my favorites. The set design and props are immersive enough to create a “feel” and there is plenty to keep a group of 3 to 4 busy. Overall, most of the rooms at Escapology are mid-level good. Nothing outstanding, but enjoyable enough to scratch the puzzle room itch. Probably more impressive for folks that are new to the hobby and good for mixed groups of enthusiasts that are bringing friends into the experience for the first time.
