Reviews and analysis of Lost Base Escape

Best "board" game I have ever played!

I had read good things about this game and happened to be browsing through Target and picked this one up. I got together with 3 other escape room enthusiasts (over 100 escape rooms!) and WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME! I still cannot stop thinking about how clever and fun it was. It took us 1hr 57min and we got the answer wrong but still had a blast! If you like hosting game nights and love solving puzzles, Dead Man on the Orient Express will not disappoint. I can't wait to play the rest of the Exit games. My only complaint is having to throw it away; I felt really wasteful and would have liked it if the game was less impactful on the environment.

This is our 6th Exit the Game and it's definitely our new favourite! Besides the puzzles to open each door, you also have to solve the murder and find the right killer! Very very satisfying and fun, especially when coupled with the app for scoring/timer and the ambient train noises. Doesn't matter if you know the Poirot story, this is different enough and has a different solution

Absolutely brilliant (and quite challenging!) game. I've played a few of the Exit games now and to be honest, I was dreading this one because of the difficulty rating. Pleased to say that not only did we make it through, but we also managed to crack some of the riddles without using the hint cards. Spoiler alert: I'd avoid looking at the picture too closely if you don't want anything given away 😁

Awesome!

We absolutely loved these games! They are only a one time use item but it really beats the escape room near where I live. For an hour it's $100 for four people! This game took us longer than an hour and at the $11 price tag it was less than $4 a player if you want to look at it that way. All in all we had a blast playing it and look forward to the next game night!

We'd played a previous game in the Exit series and were keen to try this one. It's fantastic – not just solving puzzles to unlock doors, but actually solving the mystery as well! Four of us spent a very happy afternoon working our way through the Orient Express and its passengers ... we even correctly deduced the murderer!

EXiT - Dead Man on the Orient Express

Really good! Super hard and fun! My wife loves murder mysteries on TV so thought she would be an expert. I don't want to spoil the game, but after a fun filled 3 hours, we were spectacularly unsuccessful!!! Just bought another two to try our 'skills' at other games in the series!!!!!!

Great game

Played a few of these games now as a family with our teenagers. Really good fun and good way to spend an evening during lockdown. Clues come in handy too.

Great fun

So much fun, though a little unclear on the who ended up being the killer. We still dont know how, didnt explain it very well.
