Murder Mystery Cruise | 3 Course Lunch | Newcastle Harbour

🚂 Harbourside Mystery | Last Train From Paris

It is 1940, and you are aboard the last express out of Paris, fleeing the city as German troops draw ever closer and occupation looms.

The roads are blocked.
The stations are overwhelmed.
The train is packed with passengers desperate to escape.

But while fear grips the carriage, something far more sinister is unfolding behind closed cabin doors.

A shocking discovery has been made —
Fiona Fae Tahlle, the mysterious passenger in Cabin 9, has been murdered.

Now, with nowhere to go and no one to trust, the passengers aboard this ill-fated journey must uncover the truth before the train reaches its final destination.

Inspired by the glamour and intrigue of Murder on the Orient Express, this immersive mystery delivers all the suspense, secrets and suspicion of a classic whodunnit — with a brilliant twist.

🕵️ A confined train full of suspects
🔎 A mysterious woman in Cabin 9
🚂 A race to solve the murder before it’s too late

The question is…

Who killed Fiona Fae Tahlle?
