Orient Express*
Players collect clues from various rooms in a murder mystery-style game. They have limited time before the train reaches the station, and if the culprit is not caught, the murderer will escape. The game offers a unique challenge, as the solution is never completely certain, requiring players to make logical assumptions based on different pre-made murder cases.
