Escape from the Starline Express Game

Gather friends and family – and your wits – to play this immersive Escape Room-style mystery game with only the clock as your enemy as you work as a team to solve the mystery in 90 minutes. Set aboard the Starline Express train, in the oeuvre of Agatha Christie’s (1890-1976) ‘The Mystery of the Blue Train’, 1928, and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, 1934. With full instructions, join investigative reporter Betty Wilson to puzzle your way through nine train carriages to unravel the location of a stolen diamond necklace and collect evidence against a notorious criminal gang, the Rag-Tag Crew; all before the train arrives in Paris. Each of the nine mystery envelopes contains all you need to solve a challenge and move on to the next, with ephemera-style clues and evidence presented as blueprints, identify paper, telegrams, postcards, and more. Mixing number and logic puzzles – plus a construction challenge – the mystery is great to solve as a pre- or post-dinner entertainment; or even envelope by envelope in shorter bursts. Handsomely presented with a storage box, the mystery will get your ‘little grey cells’ working hard, from the baggage and dining cars to the First Class Saloon.
