The world-famous number 9 train "Mystery Express", is a 9-car long luxury locomotive designed by none other than a genius puzzlemaker, whose penchant for the number 9 led to the affectionate nickname of "9 Train". Crafted with the concept of a "wacky and whimsical adventure" in mind, each compartment is packed with a plethora of puzzles. You have been invited to a private viewing to commemorate the completion of this luxury liner. You step aboard Car No. 9 when suddenly a shrill alarm sounds. But wait! Why is the train starting to move? You didn't hear anything about this! As the train rapidly picks up speed, you realize that at this rate it's going to crash straight into the city of the terminal station in about 50 minutes! If, by some miracle, you can reach Car No. 1 and pull the Emergency Break, it's possible to stop the train. But, in order to reach that final car, you need to solve all of the puzzles in all 9 of the cars on this loopy locomotive! 9 rooms, 1 way out - can you conquer them all and stop the "9 Train"?

An English friendly escape game in Tokyo Japan. Only for a few members but they do provide hints. You have 50 minutes to escape the train. You put the answer into an iPad that’ll tell you if you can advance into the next room. Meant for small groups-perfect for tourists.

The gameplay is incredibly unique making your way from train car to train car. I have some issues with the policy of buying 10 mins for 1000 yen per person. The room seems designed to encourage people to buy the extra time being only 50 mins and with the sheer number of puzzles. Also, there was something that confused me about the ending that made me think they want you to play (and pay) the game twice to complete it.
