About the escape room
You are world-renowned Detective Hercule Poirot, aboard the famous Orient Express. You have just solved the murder of Mr Ratchet, the 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, new evidence reveals one of the passengers aboard the train has a much more deadly plan.
One of the suspects is determined to put the entire tragedy behind them, and is involved in a chilling plot to end the lives of everyone on the train. Critical elements of the train’s brake system have been secretly removed and the Orient Express is gently gathering speed as it descends the most treacherous part of the mountainous route. On its current projection, the train will derail at great speed on the sharp curve atop the towering Simplon Viaduct in precisely 60 minutes.
From your earlier enquiries, you’re able to narrow down six suspects, and they are Hector MacQueen, Princess Natalia Dragomiroff, Linda Arden, Pierre Michel, Edward Masterman & Greta Ohlsson
Your objective is simple - find the potential killer and repair the brake lines to stop the train. Failure means certain death for all, while success means solving the most famous crime in history, and saving everyone aboard. Solve the riddles and puzzles, gather the evidence and catch the murderer before it’s too late! Do you have what it takes to save all the lives on-board? Time is of the essence!

AI Overview
AIPlayers widely agree it’s one of the hardest rooms, with multi-step, linear puzzles that can bottleneck a team. Game-master support feels uneven, with late or rapid-fire hints that disrupt flow. The first carriage looks great, while later spaces feel cheaper and less train-like. Several reports mention a finicky final mechanism.
WeaknessesClueing can be vague and overcomplicated, and the linear path leaves teammates waiting. Hint timing is inconsistent, and the final puzzle has been reported to misfire even when solved correctly.
StrengthsA satisfying logic mystery anchors the experience, especially for Agatha Christie fans. The opener nails the moving-train vibe, and some groups appreciated extra time from staff to complete.
SecurityNo safety issues noted in reviews. No mentions of intense effects or physical stunts.
Level of fearNot scary; it’s a cerebral thriller with a murder-mystery theme. Suitable for teens and adults who like deduction over jump scares.
Actors' gameNo live actors mentioned; interaction runs through the gamemaster and room tech. Feedback on GM attentiveness is mixed.
Quality of riddlesExpect multi-element chains and deduction-heavy steps that reward methodical teams. Some tasks feel under-clued, creating trial-and-error stretches. The finale has been called finicky even when inputs are correct.
PlotAs Hercule Poirot, you must unmask a saboteur and fix the brakes before the Orient Express derails. It nods to the original but tells a different case to keep things fresh.
Difficulty levelDecidedly hard, with limited parallel play and lots of layered logic. Best for experienced players; newcomers can still enjoy it with hints and a time buffer.
