I absolutely loved the experience! The theming for Murder on the Orient Express was incredible—super immersive with detailed set design that really made us feel like we were on the train. The puzzles were clever and well thought out, with a good mix of logic, observation, and teamwork. The staff was great too—friendly, helpful, and really into the experience, which added to the fun.
Gameplay
The gameplay was fantastic—we absolutely loved it! It flowed amazingly well from start to finish. What really stood out was how engaged we felt the entire time. We never hit a moment where we felt stuck or stalled out. The puzzles were smart and kept us thinking, but they also felt intuitive, so we were constantly moving forward. We didn’t officially escape within the time limit—we were just one minute shy—but they gave us that extra minute, which was super kind. Even though we didn’t “beat the clock,” the experience was so enjoyable that it didn’t even matter. It was rewarding just to stay in the game the whole way through without hitting any frustrating walls. The pacing was spot-on—we just needed to be a little faster! And as a fan of the novel, I loved seeing how many detailed elements from Murder on the Orient Express were woven into the room. From the decor to the story progression, it felt like we were living the mystery ourselves. Those little nods to the original story really elevated the whole experience.
Atmosphere
Loved it! The atmosphere was incredible—totally immersive and true to the Murder on the Orient Express theme. The train setting was beautifully detailed, from the vintage décor to the lighting and sound design. It really felt like we were part of the story. There was even a slightly creepy moment that caught us off guard (in the best way)! It added a fun bit of tension without being over-the-top scary. Just enough to make us look at each other like “uhh... did that just happen?” 😅 It definitely kept us on our toes and made the experience even more memorable.
Customer service
We were treated so well! From the moment we walked in, the staff was super welcoming and friendly. The lobby was clean and set the vibe, and everyone seemed genuinely excited for us to be there, which added to the fun. Our Game Master was awesome—helpful, attentive, and really into making sure our experience is what we wanted!

High tech
Definitely not super high-tech, but also not your typical manual lock-and-key setup either. There were lots of magnet-based puzzles and clever tech elements that made things feel smooth and immersive. Everything functioned well and fit the story, so it felt more modern without being overcomplicated.

This room was primarily screens, which made it a bit less fun and harder to follow. This is one of the few escape rooms we’ve ever done where we did not escape, and I feel like part of that was by design.

Great theming and cool tech ideas, but unfortunately there were too many tech problems that ruined the gameplay.

The overall experience was pretty bad. The room was visibly very well designed. That’s the one thing I love from the room. Some of the first puzzles were different from any I had seen. Then it went downhill quickly. The puzzles started to not make any sense with nothing flowing together at all. Once we figured out the confusing puzzle, the room completely broke. The owner and employee came into the room and started to pull apart the TV to fix what was happening. This just really threw us off since it took us out of the story and wasted a lot of time. The owner also was just standing there watching us while the employee worked on getting the room started again. After all of that, my group had a hard time getting back on track. Then the room started to get really hot. We were on the last puzzle (which was very dumb), there wasn’t enough clues to actually help us solve it on our own. The game master had to give us some of the answers. Overall, I’m not going back to an Escapology again. I’ve had other issues with different rooms at this escape room franchise. By the end, we were all frustrated about how everything went and the employee did not make it better. “This escape is suppose to be hard and make you want to give up.” (Our game master). It made us even more upset to hear that since none of us had agreed that an escape room should want that.
