Escape from the Starline Express is a narrative escape room game set aboard a 1920s train bound for Paris. Playing as journalist Betty Willson, you and your group must work through nine sealed envelopes — each representing a train carriage — solving puzzles to track down the stolen Black Widow diamond before the train arrives.
Progress is linear: solve each puzzle to discover which envelope to open next. Challenges include paper-based puzzles, logic problems, and spatial reasoning, with a hint sheet available if you get stuck. Crucially, no components are destroyed — the game can be reset and replayed by a different group.
What's good?
- Nine sealed envelopes create a satisfying sense of discovery as you progress
- Fully reusable — no cutting, tearing, or destroying components
- Accessible difficulty makes it ideal for escape room beginners
- Scales well from 2 to 8 players — great for larger groups
Who is it for?
- ✔ Groups of 2–8 looking for a shared puzzle experience
- ✔ Escape room fans who want a beginner-friendly, story-led game
- ✔ A strong choice for family game nights or social gatherings
- ✖ Not suited to solo play — designed for groups
No time limit is enforced — the suggested 90 minutes is a guide, not a countdown. Focus is on completing the story at your own pace.

Had never heard of Life of games before but it was suggested by Shop app. What a good suggestion it was. The item arrived very well packed and in good time. The product itself is awesome and I feel was a good bargain too.
I would and have recommended already to friends.
Definitely a store to keep an eye on.

Great delivery and quality as usual.
fantastic packaging and arrived very quicky
Super speedy delivery
A great game, with short rounds, suitable for our 6 year old and even our 3 yeah old (with a bit of help). The unlock progression really helps bring in new rules and challenges, without overwhelming everyone from the very first game.
It’s not that easy finding a game that my dyslexic ADHD 10yr old son enjoys but this one ticks all his boxes! We love it!!
Fantastic price, swift delivery & EXTREMELY well packaged, which in the age of Amazon has become a forgotten art. Game arrived without a single dent or ding. Perfection & thank you.
