quite difficult

Ok and some nice touches for puzzles but again relies on making shapes for numbers which are sketchy at best! Doesn't make exciting use of the packaging but does use some other parts well. Final deduction relies too heavily on one tiny detail that it is very easy to miss. Good compared to some of the others.

Exit's latest game is of course inspired by the Agatha Christie novel, and filled with nods and references to it, right down to the famous detective "Achilles Pussot" - who is missing in action, leaving the investigations to you. Fortunately it does not simply follow the resolution of that novel, so you don't have to worry about the plot being spoiled before you even begin.

Orient Express is marked as 4/5 difficulty, which puts it at the hard end of the notoriously tough Exit series; and...

An escape room in a box with a murder mystery element. I enjoyed the puzzles including one slightly unusual physical element but found that the murder mystery part frustrated me. A fun time for two players.
As a fan of the Exit: The Game series, Dead Man on the Orient Express has been one of my favorite installments. I enjoyed the puzzles and the way the difficulty mounted to an especially challenging final puzzle. This game deviated from some of the predictability of the past games.
