The Orient Express story
There is a murderer on this train… Or more than one! Since yesterday, 2 of the passengers are missing, and just last night we found the dead body of one of them. Mr. Hercule Poirot advised the Conductor in charge and the Police Officer of the train, to gather everybody, including himself in the main restaurant of the train. However, before the door of the restaurant gets locked, you received a message from Mr. Poirot saying: “Don’t come to the restaurant with the others, If I am not wrong the murderer may be here with us but the proof of his guilt isn’t. I left a letter for you, with all the information I know till now and I will delay everybody for an hour, pretending that I am interrogating them, so you find him! Good Luck.”
Additional Information
A night of luxury aboard the Orient Express turns into a deadly mystery: disappearances and a murder disrupt the journey. Hercule Poirot, travelling as a passenger, secretly asks for your help. His message is clear: “Escape the restaurant; the murderer is among us.” Armed with Poirot's clues, you have one hour to uncover the identity of the culprit. Secrets lurk in every carriage, and anyone could be the killer. Solve the mystery, expose the murderer, and prevent an innocent person from being wrongly accused before the train reaches its final destination. Time is running out… In the Orient Express, your powers of deduction are the key: you have exactly 60 minutes to connect the clues and solve the crime. Step aboard for a journey through time! The Orient Express stands out in Coimbra for its elegant atmosphere and immersive scenery, transporting your team straight into the luxurious golden carriages of the legendary train. Here, challenging puzzles blend seamlessly with unexpected twists in the story, as hidden mechanisms and secrets are gradually revealed while you examine the evidence left behind by the culprit. Focused entirely on investigation and recommended for ages 8+, this room is a perfect choice in Coimbra for a different kind of family weekend or a birthday celebration where everyone, from children to adults, can play and have fun together. Its strong emphasis on teamwork, where every shared clue brings you closer to exposing the villain, also makes it an excellent choice for Team Building events or After-Work activities with colleagues. The train is already moving… Will you be able to help Poirot solve the case before the next stop?
