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!

These rooms are so beautifully done! Excellent storylines and challenges. Everyone is phenomenal (special thanks to Zach our game master) and Brian does a wonderful job with this location. My sisters and I have found new rooms to test ourselves in!

We did Vegas Handover and it was an absolute blast!!! Daniella was our Game Host and Tiara was our Game Master - both were great! This was our first visit to this location and we were so excited to see them open!

★★★★★

We did Budapest Express and it was honestly the best escape room I’ve ever been in!

★★★★★

Great activity for friends and families - My friends and I did the Mansion Murder room. No spoilers, but this room was a lot of fun. Very elaborate theming and fun puzzles. Our game master, Daniella, was extremely helpful and responsive!
