Budapest Express

Stop the Budapest Express

It is 1931 and you are standing on a platform in London. You are ready to board the Budepast Express to the Orient. You can't wait for your scenic train journey east to begin. But boarding the train is not as easy as it looks. And are you sure you want to board? Play the escape room Budapest Express!

Discover the secrets on board

In this escape room Budapest Express, you solve creative and challenging puzzles. It is a real exploration of an old train. You search the restaurant, the sleeping compartment and the locomotive. But what starts as a quiet train ride soon becomes a real adventure. The music you'll hear, the decoration and the light and sound effects will make it a great experience. Will you and your friends manage to stop the Budapest Express within 60 minutes?

This escape room was first called the Orient Express, due to trademark rights we had to change the name. We recently redecorated and updated this escape room. Since then, it has been rated an average of 9+ on Escape Talk!

Did the Sherlock Holmes with friends. Friendly welcome from the staff. The escape room is very nicely done and from start to finish you imagine yourself in another world! Fun and challenging puzzles and it's nice to find that you really need each other to do this.

Very nice escape room with various missions to come to a solution to enter into the next room. Team working and thinking is necessary but not essential for a good result.

Cool that there are multiple rooms to explore with different themes. I found the puzzles challenging and the special effects finish it off. Highly recommended!

Super outing for a bachelor party! Black Box is an exciting escape room with beautiful decors, fat and surprising special effects and very challenging gameplay! We escaped only just in time!

Didn't quite know what to expect, but the welcome and explanations promised a lot. Children had a great time and were also very proud of solving the occasionally tough puzzles. A little hint here and there kept up the pace. Fun, funny and exciting.

Fifth visit to an escaperoom and definitely the most fun I've played. With 4 colleagues, we did Sherlock Holmes where we were given a goal: unmask the murderer. Succeeded in the nick of time!!! Well thought-out rooms with surprising effects!

First time I have done an Escaperoom. This as a departmental outing with my Nissan colleagues. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The team I was in had the Mindcrime Room. It was really super. The package with dinner is also highly recommended. Thank you! Hope to see you again soon.
