About the experience

Budapest Express is a detective-themed escape game designed and conceptualized by Escapology.

The trivial knock on your cabin door on a so-far interesting day brought in yet another puzzling murder case to you.

Your experience and brilliance as a detective have helped you narrow down to five possible suspects.

These suspects were seen in the dining coach at the time of the murder. Therefore, you're sure that you are on the right track.

However, the investigation ahead is not as easy as it seems!

Are you up for the challenge?

Test your wits and wisdom as you play Budapest Express!

Enjoying the challenge! What a great place! This holiday weekend was our second time and we'll be going back for a 3rd shot for sure! Both world's were very challenging and we came super close to a win but ran out of time for the Budapest Express world. The train setting background was really lifelike as well as some great props! Our group also enjoyed the Lost World theme as welI as we all felt like we were on set for an Indiana Jones movie! I would highly suggest this place for group parties as well for a different twist on a birthday celebration or happy occasion. I would also like to add that this experience was extra nice during Covid since they applied all rules to make us safe by providing masks, and gloves in case we forgot or could not access so it was a nice backup and it smelled very fresh and clean with everything sanitized so we felt safe playing there during this time.
My hubby and I have been to a handful of escape rooms and have always had a blast! Escapology in Trumbull was one of our favorite escape room experience. From the waiting room to the game room, the experience was truly immersive. As a team of four (including my in-laws), we played The Lost City, which had the perfect mix of puzzle types that really made us think on our feet. The lighting and props were very appropriate for the theme of the game. My heart was racing during the entire game and there was a constant sense of urgency to complete all the puzzles in time. We did finish with a few clues from our wonderful game master Noelle. We had so much fun we decided to do it again the following night. With Noelle's recommendation, we did the Budapest Escape. The room was absolutely stunning, and I felt transformed into the era of the crime story. Budapest Escape was fun though different from the traditional escape room in that you're tasked primarily in solving a murder mystery rather than in escaping the room. For newbies, I would recommend Lost City. Overall Escapology was excellent and we're already planning our next visit!
Awesome experience. Our Game Master, Rachel, was friendly and helpful. We did the Budapest Express and the room was phenomenal! The attention to details is unparalleled. It wasn't an easy one to get out but we made it out in 58min!!! I would definitely recommend going to this Escapology! Fun date night and team building experience. 10/10
