Will you be drawn into the thrilling story of Thomas D. Margate? It's 1924 and the inspectors at Scotland Yard are puzzled. On January 26 of that year, they arrested and detained Thomas D. Margate on suspicion of mass theft. This based on a number of witnesses who think they saw Thomas at the crime scene… There is only one big problem, Scotland Yard is convinced they have found the right suspect, but there is no trace of the loot. Thomas D. Margate has been a Chief Conductor on one of Britain's longest railway lines for 17 years and also lived at Hull Station. There is therefore a serious suspicion that he has hidden his loot there somewhere. This is where your story starts. At the invitation of Richard McKindley, Chief Inspector of the Investigative Team, you will have to search for Thomas's secrets on your own. Unravel this mystery and write your own history!

The Conductor by Riddle Room was a joy to play, our second and last room of the day with the same team of 4. Just like in our previous game, the host/GM was fine but not particularly engaging. Once inside, the game began immediately, and the moment we looked around, we were enchanted by the beautifully crafted train-themed environment. The decor and set design brought the setting to life, making you truly feel part of the journey. All puzzles were well integrated into the theme, and as we moved through the different spaces, the story gradually unfolded, giving more context and depth to the experience. Being a newer room (around 3 years old), it clearly shows in the quality of its puzzles and design—everything felt polished and cohesive. The sound effects, lighting, and puzzles all complemented each other seamlessly, building a consistent and immersive rhythm throughout. We had an absolute blast from start to finish and left with big smiles. Highly recommended, especially for teams with some escape room experience, as the puzzles are on the more challenging side.
