About

Welcome back to the Twenties! A murder has gripped the VIP section of a fancy train, and it's up to amateur sleuth Victoria and her omniscient feline friend Hercules to investigate. Meet the witnesses, hunt for clues, and gather alibis in a world where no-one will help you with anything until you solve a puzzle for them first! With a run-time of a few hours, Victoria Clair and the Mystery Express is perfect for a weekend of puzzle-solving play! Tell a friend. Grab your cat. Maybe your cat will help you with the puzzles? I don't know. I had enough trouble getting my own cat to voice-act for this thing.
