Our verdict

7/10

  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Players: 1–5
  • Playtime: 3–5 h

First Class Escape: The Train of Thought is a first-person escape room set aboard a vintage luxury train, playable solo or in online co-op with up to five people. Each carriage is its own puzzle space, with logic riddles, mechanical devices and optional hidden collectibles. It suits friends who want a calm, cooperative puzzle night, and solo players who like careful searching.

About 71% of its 354 Steam reviews are positive. Players praise the detailed carriages, where ordinary decorations often hide a mechanism or hint, and describe the difficulty as balanced, neither too hard nor too easy. Tags like Relaxing and Detective back up the slow, observant pace. One player found it easier than the sequel except for the final room, which they called just mean.

The main complaint is multiplayer stability: one group kept getting disconnected no matter who hosted, which spoiled the co-op session. Some players also preferred the second game in the series. The games are standalone, so order does not matter. Worth it for co-op groups on sale; test the connection early.

Pros

  • Vintage train carriages hide clues in their furnishings
  • Online co-op for up to five players
  • Mix of logic riddles and mechanical devices, plus collectibles

Cons

  • Co-op players report frequent disconnects
  • Final room is a sharp difficulty spike
  • Some players rate the sequel higher
