Onboard the famous trans-European Budapest Express, you are with Karine Peaufiner, a famous French detective from Paris. You are traveling to Budapest to meet with other detectives showcasing the latest developments in crime scene forensics. It is nighttime and you are passing slowly through the heart of Europe during a heavy snowstorm. You are reviewing case notes in your cabin with Karine and your colleagues. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, it is the train manager. He looks worried and asks you to come quickly to the First Class dining coach. When you arrive, you see a man slumped over a restaurant table. He was Sir Clarence Hayden and he has been murdered! The manager informs you that in one hour the train will stop at the next station, if the killer hasnβt been apprehended, they will be free to escape into the night and get away with this horrible crime! Your reputation as brilliant detectives precedes you, he asks you to solve the crime so the murderer can be caught and brought to justice. Youβre able to narrow down 5 suspects who were seen in the dining car around the time Sir Clarence was murdered. 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. Solve the riddles and puzzles, gather the evidence and solve the murder before itβs too late! Do you have what it takes to find the killer before they find you? Time is of the essence!

No parking to be found so leave lots of extra time. Room was nicely done for a small space but it seemed the game was made overly complicated. Not a big fan.

Worst escape room I've ever done. I've done this room twice just to verify with a different team each time. Each time, the group did not have a good time, as the room was cramped, poorly designed, extremely sparse on puzzles, no inclusion of teamwork, and to top it all off, you can absolutely mess up the escape room if you take an item out of where you found it and don't remember where you got it. What kind of an escape room doesn't want you to interact with the clues they give you?!? 0/10. If you do end up playing this game. DO NOT REMOVE CLUES FROM THE LOCATION YOU FIND THEM (excluding a few external puzzles). You'll understand once you see what I am referring to.
Gameplay
Horrible. No inclusion of teamwork, makes you feel bad for interacting, and little to no actual puzzle work. Very tedious, boring and
Atmosphere
It was a decent enough looking room, but had no real immersion outside of the intro video, half of the "rooms" were bland and boring. Nothing to really peak any interest.
Customer service
GM was great. Room was not.
Particularly interesting or different
No
Absolutely nothing to peak any interest. If anything was different, it was destroying the original continuation of an escape room by punishing you for organizing clues and removing them from where they were
Story
Story was very poorly laid out, then you're thrown into a room with no sense of direction, what you're looking for, what you're end goal is, etc. Only in the final area do you understand what you are trying to do, (what board game you are playing), and by then, it's probably too late to make sense of any of the clues as they have most likely been scattered about.
Difficulty
Hard
Hard in not a good way. You have to take account for clues in a way that there is no allusion to at all. If they literally told you, you need to go through _ because _, it would atleast make the room make sense rather than just springing it on you last second.
Game tech
Mechanical
Very boring, no real tech. Everything is either a key, a lock, bag, boring decoration, or a tv screen with no interaction or immersion.
Ideal number of players

Honestly 3 might be pushing it, as the game practically makes it so only 1 person can progress the story at any given point...

Some "puzzles" on shelves/in weird areas. But regardless, very difficult to grasp what is going on with poor room design in general
Was anything broken?
Yes
Very old room. Various clues/decorations broken, aged, and either difficult to impossible to interact with.

I enjoyed it, but some important puzzles can really only be done by like 2 players at most, which ends up leaving the rest of the party unsatisfied/left out (I was one of the 2). I think one of the room resetters messed up one of the puzzles which actually happened a previous time I came to this location.

Game utilizes advanced puzzles that are sure to make you stop in your tracks. Make sure you pay attention to where you find things for this will be helpful later. We were poorly prepared, thankfully my partner plays murder mystery games on his phone. But to any unknowing patrons I feel pitty.

Overall our game master was awesome, room was ok, partly on our part for not doing as told to pay attention to where we got puzzle pieces and such but the game master helped steer us and we got back on track. Simplistic and what I would expect of a chain type escape experience

Least favorite room to date. We would figure out what needs to be done to solve the puzzles, but the execution was overly complicated and not fun. I wouldn't recommend it.
