The year is 1951. You are about to set foot on a train with a host of colourful characters. But they are not what they seem. There's been a murder and it's up to you to find out who is responsible

Step on board the British Pullman and feast on a sublime five-course lunch paired with wine as you roll through the English countryside. But beware: a murderer lurks among you! In this affectionate tribute to the esteemed British thriller tradition, impeccably dressed "suspects" gather at the 1951 Festival of Britain. While a wave of fresh optimism washes over the country, onboard, appearances may deceive.
