About this deal

I’d rate Escape from the Starline Express as a difficulty of 2 out of 5. You can play it solo, but it’s designed for at least two people. Some of the props include duplicates, so multiple people can work on them at the same time. For fun, I give it a 4 out of 5.

Players: 2–8. Most puzzles have duplicate sets of components, which is really good – it makes two-player games more fun and supports bigger player counts, too. Since this is a linear one-puzzle-at-a-time affair, there isn’t much to do for players, so I’d say 2–5 is more realistic player count range.So the first step is to look at the price of Professor Puzzle Escape From The Starline Express. Here we run a search to find the price of products that we review. If it’s a product offered by lots of retailers then we get you the best price. If it’s only offered by one retailer then we find you the latest price.

The envelopes have two sets of props – one for the puzzles for solving for the next train car number, and the other for the story telling you about the robbery and your progress in searching for the hidden gems. The props are a mix of paper and punched cardboard, and are good quality. The envelopes show the insides of the train cars and look like photographs. I took just under 3 hours to finish, and I needed two clues and one solution for the nine puzzles. If I take a “divide by 2” solo player handicap, I get a time of just under 90 minutes, and I win. What hidden secrets will you uncover when you board the Starline Express? And will you escape in time? For our review we’ve scored Professor Puzzle Escape From The Starline Express 9.2 out of 10. We take a number of criteria into account here including what customers have to say about the product, the features, quality and price. This one gave me so much trouble. I actually had the correct approach from the start, but slipped up and wrote down one of the times wrong. It didn’t help that part of the riddle works out like 5:11 x 3:00, and the math for multiplying doesn’t behave the same as for the math for addition. This could have been thought out better. If the price appears to be significantly lower than you’d expect for the sort of product you’re buying, then you’d be wise to start looking in a bit more detail at other indicators of the quality.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). Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Based on that price, when we compare it to the other options available, we’ve given it a price score of 8.9 out of 10. Board games category average cost Didn’t bother passing it on to anyone else, I wouldn’t put them through it when there are so many other good versions out there!
