.com On October 4, 1883, approximately 40 guests of the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits boarded the Orient Express for its maiden run. Sumptuously furnished, teeming with mystery, suspense, and the promise of exotic adventure, the luxury trans-European train journeyed from Paris to Constantinople via Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Bucharest--nearly 2,000 miles in less than 80 hours. Review Hurrah! Another captivating 3D puzzle awaits kids and grown-ups alike, this one set on the Orient Express. Players must first assemble the train cars and then explore the train, learning about early 20th century European railway development along the way. As they build and explore, players meet intriguing international characters from the 1920s and slowly uncover the secrets of the train and its passengers.

Never Again
This is the third 3D puzzle I have purchased,only one, Notre Dame Cathedral gave me no problems.All others had errors,crashes(blue screen). Tech support tried but had no answers.I have new computer and all the stuff to run games.So I will never again buy 3D puzzles. I don't know what's wrong,it's a great idea. Notre Dame was fun,but the other two! Maureen Ferrugia unhappy with 3D

Great jigsaw experience, but touring the train crashes!
Loved the assembly portion of this puzzle, but when I did the Superchallenging level and finally got to tour the train, but I have WIndows 7 and the program crashes as soon as I start the tour. Every time. So sad.

Updated controls, but...
I've enjoyed the previous three CD-ROM 3-D puzzles that Wrebbit has produced, and this one has all the things I liked: the jigsaw puzzle to assemble on screen, then touring the constructed building's rooms (in this case, train compartments), then solving the mysteries and brain teasers provided. On this fourth product, Wrebbit has changed the look of the on-screen buttons and controls to be more streamlined. But so far, having just completed the "easy" level, I am a bit disconcerted by this new disc's technical glitches (as compared with the older discs): I keep getting glimpses of levels I am not supposed to have access to yet and the cursor that is provided to maneuver me inside the compartments does not have the flexibility or speed control of the previous discs. I would not suggest this particular puzzle over the Bavarian Castle or the Victorian Cottage, either of which seems to play better than this one.

Pleased Customer.
1. I really didn't expect the Orient Express to be quite so Pricey. I have in my possession a box with 4ea computer puzzles, The Orient Express, The Bavarian Castle,Notre Dame Cathedral and Victorian Mansion. I cannt be certain now but I dont think I paid as much for the four Puzzle as you are charging for the one. 2. I have had it for longer than two years and when I bored and want somthing to do I pick one and start all over again.It was put out by the same company WREBBIT. I would rate them as the best game I have found for computer enthusiast. My friend is very happy with their gift. 3. The package was a little beatup when I got it but the game works great. This makes me fell like I'm ealing with a reputable Company. I willl order again in the future.

Excellent graphics and mystery presentation.
Several years ago, I purchased all Wrebbit 3D games for the computer and somehow lost the Orient Express DVD. This was a replacement purchase. I only wish they would produce more games. Amazon service is the best!

Not quite as good
This is the last of the puzz 3-d puzzles that are now on the market that I have completed. The puzzle is fantastic and the games on the train are fun. It seems to me however, that the mouse action used to get around the train was a bit slower and harder to use than the other games. Even at that, I had a great time trying to figure out the tiles and prophecies for each passenger. Even though I have finished all four of the games, I still go back and try to put the puzzles together again!
