Escape Game on a Train in Perpignan: Solve the Murder

Hunt a murderer trapped on a moving train with you.

An escape game set inside a life-size train car in Perpignan where you solve puzzles and search for clues to identify a killer among the passengers before the next station arrives. The game runs 60 minutes with a live French-speaking guide, rule explanation, and a team debrief with photos at the end. Difficulty scales from beginner to very advanced.

The Experience

You board the Perpignan Express bound for Constantinople. A crime was committed on board, and the only people present are the passengers—one of them is the murderer. The train car becomes your escape room: a series of connected spaces where you search for evidence, solve puzzles, observe details and think through the logic of what happened. The theme is police investigation and train adventure, and the clock runs for 60 minutes while the train moves toward the next station.

A guide explains the rules and the story at the start, then you work as a team to move through the rooms, unlocking each section by solving the puzzles inside it. The game is adaptable, so a group of newcomers and a group of regulars can both play at their level. At the end, you get a team photo and a debrief where the guide walks through the highlights and reveals whether you caught the criminal before time ran out.
