The Event of the Century

It is New Year’s Eve, 1879, and the greatest event of the century is about to take place! George Pullman’s Night Train prepares to journey from the Chicago Central Depot to Sacramento, California.

Edith and Paul Mallard, two young children from Chicago, are finally getting the chance to ride on the Pullman Night Train. Their father, Will Mallard, leads the Night Train and, together with their mother Louise, plans to travel as a family across America.

But after a series of mysterious accidents, Edith and Paul find themselves at the center of a villainous plot against the Night Train. As the Night Train races across America, it’s up to Edith and Paul to investigate the eccentric passengers, decipher the clues, and solve this mystery.
