About this deal

The front of each envelope has a three-digit number somewhere, and a car name (the exception being the train station building, which is the last envelope and has the ID disguised. The puzzles generally resolve to one of the three-digit numbers, and you know you have it right if you find the matching envelope. Inside each envelope is a confirmation statement saying something like “if you are coming from the Observation car, you have the right envelope.” What’s to like: This is a solid easy escape room game: nothing spectacular, nothing challenging enough for the pros, but a nice theme, nice components and some fun puzzles (I particularly liked the identification card puzzle). So let’s dive into a bit more specific detail on Professor Puzzle Escape From The Starline Express, starting with the price. There’s no scoring system. You either get to the end of the game in 90 minutes or you don’t. The game is rated for two or more players, so I feel justified in dividing the time in half as a solo player handicap. I finished in 2 hours and 50 minutes. With the handicap, that’s 85 minutes, which is good enough for me.

You’re told upfront who the suspects are, and you find the location of the hidden diamonds as a matter of course as you play along. All you’re trying to do is solve for the number of the next car in the train, then get to the destination envelope. As such, the game feels a little short. It’s like Professor Puzzle was trying to copy Think Fun, and wasn’t really sure how to go about it. My verdict: I paid 15 euros for my used copy of the game, and I think it’s fairly realistic to expect I can sell this for 10–15 euros. At that price point, sure, I’ll give a new escape room game a go. Now that I’ve played this, though, I’m not particularly interested in playing the Escape from the Grand Hotel, another game from the same company with a similar linear structure. There’s a second puzzle that involves assembling a smoke bomb from styrofoam pieces with colored lines drawn on them. I didn’t time myself on this part, but it probably easily took me 60 minutes to get this one to come out right. Sigh. At least I didn’t look at the solution for it.

Set contains 9 mystery envelopes, representing different train carriages, such as First Class Saloon, Dining Car and Engine Room etc. The box gives you nine envelopes, one representing each of the eight cars of the train, plus the destination train station. You also get a solutions envelope. The game envelopes generally contain two sets of puzzles, either to cover losses if you decide to play multiple times, or if you want to share tasks with the party. The contents of the envelopes can be divided into two categories – the props needed for the puzzles, and props for telling the story. The story props don’t contribute directly to the puzzles, and essentially just show that the gang did indeed commit the robbery. The point here though is that you can get a good idea of the quality of a product by the number and type of features that are available on the product. So take the time to look at the features listed for Professor Puzzle Escape From The Starline Express and it will help guide you on the quality.
