A Whodunit on Rails

Seeking a well-deserved break from your latest misadventures, you decide to splurge, treating yourself to the extravagant luxury of the most talked about train of our time - the legendary Orient Express. Most unexpectedly, and rather unfortunately, the holiday turns out to be short lived. The train has barely left Paris when word spreads that someone has just been murdered, and in the most hideous manner.

The aptly renamed "Mystery Express" hurtles toward its final destination of Istanbul. Now locked onboard, anxious passengers spin a web of intrigue and deception through the spread of rumor, gossip and innuendo. Your mind races as you consider all possible suspects and their motives. Will you uncover the culprit before reaching the end of your journey? Hurry, there's no time to waste!

Mystery Express is a new whodunit deduction game from Days of Wonder. The murder that takes place on the Orient Express incorporates 5 different elements - Motive, Location, Time, Modus Operandi, and Suspects - each of these is represented by a set of Crime cards. Players take on the role of one of 5 traveling characters, each who has their own special powers of deduction. The player who figures out the who, what, where, when and why of the murder before the end of the journey wins.

For 3-5 players. 75 minutes.
