Orient Express Night
Orient Express Night is the other older tomatea game I hunted down this morning. Grab your first class ticket, and slip another long player on the gramophone, as we all embark upon a, closely confined, point'n'click adventure. Oh, just look at that woodwork...

Any clues for that darned top cabinet yet? Been bouncing around from both rooms, the dining car, and the room at the end of the car (with the Bath poster that I seem to need a screwdriver for)...
I have:

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

Walkthrough for other site?

This is not a one room escape, so don't be surprised when you get out of the stateroom.

Remember to try using objects on each other as well as on things in the rooms.

To pull an object into close up click on the upper right corner of the object in the inventory.

$27.45 is a pretty decent price for Filet and Gulf Shrimp.

Good luck!

First Stateroom Exploration

Spoiler
You begin in the first stateroom. There is a pink hatbox with a purple top on a shelf on the top left.

Click on the hatbox for a close up.

Once the hatbox is in close up click on the top to open it and take the object inside (hat).

Back up.

On the floor to the left is what looks like an ottoman and a chest. Click on the chest for a close up.

Open the chest and take the first tile. Back up.

On a shelf above the chest is a lamp, a vase, and a small wooden box. Click on the box for a close up.

In close up you will notice that the box needs a key. Back up.

At the back of the stateroom, to the left of the window, is a series of drawers and a shelf with what looks like a book on it. Click on the shelf for a close up.

In the close up you will notice a small item sitting on top of the book on the left side. Take it (straight razor). Back up.

Underneath the window is a shelf with a lamp, vase, and a clock sitting on it. Click on the shelf for a close up.

Once you are in close up click on the clock and you will get a view of the back of the clock. Take the wind-up key from the back of the clock.

Back up.

On the right, above the bed, are a series of cabinets just below the ceiling. Click on the cabinets for a close up.

The right cabinet is empty. The left cabinet has a second tile piece (take it). The middle cabinet needs a four letter code.

Back up.

Click at the foot of the bed, between the bed and the chair for a close up.

Once in close up you will see a piece of paper on the floor between the bed and the chair. Take the paper.

Pull up the paper from your inventory and click on it to open it. A clue!

Back up.

Time to get out of this confined space!

First Stateroom Escape

Spoiler
Pull up the hat from your inventory.

Click on the hat and it will turn over. Notice the dotted line on the inside hatband?

Use the straight razor on the line and you will get a key. Take the key.

Click on the small wooden box on the left shelf for a close up.

Use the key to open the box and take the glasses.

Don't back up, look closely at the inside of the box.

Note the four brass buttons on the inside of the box, each in a corner?

Now it's time to use the clue from the note.

Spoiler
The note clue gives you the order in which to push the buttons. Starting at the lower left corner, then lower right corner, upper left corner, upper right corner, and finally the lower left corner (5 clicks).

If you enter the code correctly you will get a new object, a hatpin.

Take the hatpin and back up.

Turn right (or left) to see the door.

Use the hatpin on the lock to open the door.

Welcome to the corridor!

The Corridor (Facing the Dining Car)

Spoiler
You are in the corridor of the train car. There are more staterooms to your right, windows to your left, and a door ahead that shows the blue chairs of the dining car.

Look at the windows to the left. One of the window shades is drawn all the way down. Click on it for a close up.

Once the window is in close up, click on the shade to open it and take the third tile.

Notice that something is smudged on the glass. Shame we can't read it yet.

Back up.

Click on the door ahead to move towards the dining car.

You are now just outside the door to the dining car. To your right is a stateroom door, use the hatpin on the lock to open it.

The Second Stateroom Exploration

Spoiler
This stateroom has no shelf on the upper left, and a blue tie hanging on the hook on the right.

On the floor on the left is a small wooden object, click on it for a close up.

Looks like train tracks for a toy train. Back up.

Click on the large wardrobe on the left for a close up (the closet).

Open the right door and take the fourth tile. Back up.

Click on the floor on the right, by the base of the bed, and you will see a briefcase that needs a four digit code. Back up.

Click on the shelf below the window for a close up. Take the book of matches.

The Second Stateroom Puzzle Solving (Part 1)

Spoiler
You should still be in a close up of the shelf below the window.

Notice the box of earl gray tea?

Use the straight razor on the box and you will uncover a number.

The number looks like 1905, but look closely, if you read it from the other side of the box (turn the box 180 degrees in your mind) it can also read as 5061.

Back up.

Click on the briefcase at the foot of the bed.

Spoiler
Use the code 5061 on the briefcase.

Once you've entered the code click the button below the numbers to open the briefcase.

Take the fifth tile and back up.

Turn right (or left) to see the door and open the door.

You should now be back in the corridor, this time looking down at the opposite side.

The Dining Car

Spoiler
Turn right (or left) to face the dining car door (you can see the blue chairs through the window).

Click on the door to enter the dining car.

Click on the middle table on the right for a close up.

There on the table you will find the sixth tile. You will also see a brown square. Click on the square.

Oh, it's the menu cover. Now you can see the menu. At least, you could if your eyes were better.

Use the glasses on the menu and you will see the dinner special: Filet and Gulf Shrimp for 27.45.

Close down the menu and back up (don't forget to take the sixth tile first).

At the end of the dining car is what looks like a bar. Click on the bar for a close up.

Click behind the bar to see what's behind.

On a shelf on the left behind the bar you will find the seventh tile.

You will also see a cabinet in the middle, and a 3 x 3 grid.

Back up to leave the bar.

Now that you are facing back the way you came you will see the eighth tile sitting on a table to your right. Take it.

Click on the doors to go forward.

Go forward once more to the end of the corridor.

Click on the stateroom door to your left. This will take you back to the first Stateroom.

The First Stateroom Redux

Spoiler
Time to open that four letter coded cabinet.

Click on the cabinets on the upper right, then click on the center cabinet to bring up the code lock.

The clue for this was found on the menu in the dining car.

Spoiler
The menu showed Filet and Gulf Shrimp and the price of 27.45.

The code is the 2nd, 7th, 4th, and 5th letters of Filet and Gulf Shrimp, I N E T.

After you've entered the code click on the button beneath the letters to open the cabinet.

Take the toy train and the ninth (and last) tile.

Back up.

Turn right (or left) and go out the door to the corridor.

The Corridor (More Exploration)

Spoiler
You should be facing the dining car at the far end of the corridor.

Turn right (or left) to face the other way, and you will be right in front of a door to another car.

Click on the door to go through.

In front of you is what looks like a poster, but there are hinges on the left and screws holding it down on the right. A wall safe!

Turn left.

Looks like this might be the door out, but it looks like it needs an oddly shaped key.

Turn left.

Go through the door back to the main corridor, then click on the dining car doors to move forward.

The Second Stateroom Redux

Spoiler
Click on the stateroom door to your right to go back into the second stateroom.

Click on that object on the floor to the left, the toy train tracks.

Pull up the toy train from your inventory.

While the train is in close up click on it to turn it around. Notice the hole in the back wheel when the train is facing left?

Place the windup key from the clock into the hole in the wheel. Close down the train.

Now use the train on the tracks and it will go forward, opening the doors.

Inside the doors is a screwdriver, take it.

Back up.

Turn right (or left) to face the door, then go through the door to the corridor.

The Dining Car Puzzle Solving

Spoiler
If you are not facing the dining car, turn right (or left) to face the dining car door.

Click on the door to enter the dining car.

Click on the bar at the back of the car, then click again to go behind the bar.

Take your nine tiles and place them on the 3 x 3 grid. Now you have a simple puzzle to complete.

Click on two tiles to switch their places. You are trying to create an etching of a train.

Once you've solved the train puzzle the cabinet below will unlock.

Click on the cabinet to open it and take the tea kettle.

Time to make steam!

Use the matches on the Bunsen burner on the left of the bar.

Once you have a flame put the kettle on the burner and back up.

You should be facing back the way you came. Turn right (or left) to face the bar again and notice that the kettle is steaming.

Take the kettle, turn around, and go forward to the door to the corridor.

Getting Out

Spoiler
You should now be in the corridor facing back towards the first stateroom.

Click on the window on the right where you put up the shade (it will be the fourth one on the right, counting from closest to you).

Once the window is in close up use the steaming kettle on it to find a code.

This looks like a series of large and small dots. Notice the positions of the large dots, from left to right: top of the column, middle of the column, top of the column, bottom of the column, and middle of the column.

Back up.

Go forward down the corridor then through the doors to the poster (wall safe).

Use the screwdriver to remove the screws and open the safe.

Now you are faced with a series of five knobs and a button to the far right.

Put the knobs into the same position as seen on the window, from left to right: top, middle, top, bottom, middle.

Once the knobs are in position click on the button on the right.

A panel will open, revealing the weird key.

Take the key and turn left.

Use the key on the cross-shaped keyhole and you are out!
