This is our second room at this escape location. Our experience in the first room - "Under Pressure" was extremely enjoyable and we decided to book the "Budapest Express" room back-to-back. This is a classic "Whodunit?" room. If you like being Sherlock Holmes and you're great at the board game "Clue", this is the room for you. We would have gave this room a higher rating if it wasn't because there was something we were not told at the beginning and for us to go back and remember it, was nearly impossible. But it was important information we needed to know in order to solve the puzzle. This was quite frustrating for us as we went through the whole room very quickly and spent the last 30 minutes just dwelling on that. At the end, we did escape with just the two of us with 3 minutes to spare. Besides that, the room design was really cool. Right away you felt like a passenger on a moving train as the story unfolds. We hope the storyline or clue system could be implemented a little better since this room definitely deserves higher ratings.
