Sherlock Holmes must unravel a macabre mystery in this sixth Escape Book, blending story and puzzles into a single adventure. After Colonel Lysander Stark escapes prison, a chilling pattern emerges: coffins bearing the names John A., John B., and John C. Watson travel alone on the Necropolis Railway. As Holmes, you must discover who lies inside, who bought their tickets, and whether the next coffin is meant for John H. Watson himself.

The investigation leads to the vast London Necropolis, where Stark has set a deadly gauntlet of riddles, logic problems, mazes, maps, and timed challenges. Each puzzle is part of his revenge, and solving them becomes the only way to save Watson from a grim fate.

Product description

The sixth title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Train of the Dead is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story. Readers will take on the role of the world’s foremost consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he embarks on a journey full of twists and turns. Colonel Lysander Stark is a ruthless gang-leader who was running a counterfeiting operation in the City of London until he and his gang were captured by the police. Of course, the raid was made thanks to the intervention of Sherlock Holmes. However, shortly after his capture and subsequent sentencing, the Colonel escapes from prison.

A month later, an unusual series of unaccompanied passengers — in coffins, with one-way tickets — ride on the Necropolis Railway to be buried at Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey: the first is a John A. Watson, two days later a John B. Watson, and some days after that a John C. Watson. Whose bodies are in the coffins? Who is buying their tickets? Can you, as Holmes, solve the mystery before your loyal companion John H. Watson is riding on the train of the dead?

Culminating in the huge London Necropolis, the adventure finds you solving puzzles set as a deadly challenge by the vindictive and embittered Colonel Stark. Can you solve the puzzles and save your one and only friend from a terrible ending?

Puzzles include riddles, logic puzzles, timed challenges, mathematical brainteasers, maps and mazes.
