About the game
Picture yourself aboard the legendary Orient Express, where a shocking murder has occurred and you, along with other players, must uncover the culprit before the train reaches Constantinople. This escape‑room inspired puzzle game places you in the role of a detective, but without the help of a partner, as the famed investigator Achilles Pussot is unconscious. The core mechanic is deduction: you receive clues, analyze information, eliminate hypotheses, and try to reach the correct conclusion in real time. The game is cooperative – everyone must work together, as there is no competition among players. Each session lasts 60 to 120 minutes and can only be played once, so the pressure rises: the clock is always ticking. Components are made of recyclable paper and cardboard, and the challenge extends beyond simple cards – you’ll write, fold, and cut pieces, making each experience unique. The difficulty is rated “hard,” so if you enjoy complex puzzles, you’ll have a blast. Moreover, the Orient Express theme adds a vintage charm, with clues that resemble playing cards, tickets, and old documents. It’s a perfect blend of logic, creativity, and teamwork, ideal for those who love mystery and reasoning challenges.

In short, it’s the perfect game for fans of deduction who enjoy teamwork and want to experience the adrenaline of an escape room in board‑game format. If you’re looking for something that demands focus, quick reasoning, and collaboration, this title is a sure bet for memorable game nights.
