All Aboard: Halloween Murder Mystery Train Ride in Indiana

You're invited to Dracula's Birthday Bash...which also happens to be a murder mystery train ride that's coming up in Indiana.

There's a movie that I love watching called "Murder on the Orient Express." It's a murder mystery that takes place on a train. This movie is a classic "ho done it" with a lot of twists and turns along the way.

I often wonder, while watching the movie, how I would fare in a situation like this. Would I be able to observe everyone on the train to try to find any suspicious activity? Furthermore, would I be able to solve the murder before everyone leaves the train? Well, I'm going to have my chance to find out, and so will you, with a unique train ride in Indiana this fall with a Halloween twist.

Terror in Transylvania Murder Mystery Train Ride

The Nickel Plate Express in Noblesville, Indiana, hosts several fun and unique train rides throughout the year. However, this one sounds like a blast. It's a 21+ Halloween Murder Mystery called Terror in Transylvania. This fun and unique train ride will also include a fall-flavored dinner...on top of a spooky murder mystery. Here's what you can expect from this experience, according to the Nickel Plate Express:

Join us aboard the vintage Nickel Plate Express for a spine-tingling night of suspense, laughter, and mystery as the supernatural elite gather deep in the heart of Transylvania. But beware—before the night ends, one of the guests will fall victim to foul play… and it’s up to you to solve the crime.

Enjoy a delicious fall-themed dinner served aboard the train, featuring a chili bar with all the fixings, warm cornbread, crisp salad, and a decadent seasonal dessert. The bar will be open throughout the evening with themed cocktails and fall favorites available for purchase.

Here's the cool thing. You will actually play a role in this murder mystery. When you purchase your ticket, you get to decide whether you'd like to be a suspect or a detective.

Suspects will be active participants in the mystery. After ticket purchase, each suspect will need to provide a valid email address. We’ll send a short form to help us assign your role, along with guidance on simple props or costume suggestions. You won’t need to memorize lines or perform for a crowd—just come ready to interact, share clues, and have fun.

Detectives will work to crack the case by interviewing suspects, piecing together clues, and solving the mystery before it’s too late.

Nickel Plate Express says that all passengers are encouraged to dress up for the event. Since it's Dracula's birthday party. Just think like you are a character in Hotel Transylvania. Things like a vampire, a witch, a werewolf, Frankenstein, a mummy...you get the idea.
