Welcome to our 1940s Murder Mystery Game, “A Night On The Murder Express”. This 1940s murder mystery game is digital and to be downloaded to your devices or printed out at home.
It’s 1947 and our glorious steam train is chugging its way through the valley. Choo choo! On board is a mysterious mixture of singers, aristocrats, ex soldiers and a rumoured resident ghost. Anything could happen, even murder…
There’s nothing particularly unusual about the journey. Passengers are sipping tea and eating slices of delicious Victoria Sponge. Some are snoozing. Some are reading the Daily Telegraph.
There is a sudden blood-curdling scream! The train’s driver, Hugh Jorgan, has been found dead in the driving compartment.
But who killed him…and why?
