What the Hideout says about the Wild West Murder Mystery:
They say the Wild West is fadin´, but the ole gal proves she´s still kickin´ when a fella winds up MURDERED on the Frontier Express. Nearly every warm body aboard has shifty eyes and a secret past, so untyin´ this tangled knot of a MYSTERY ain´t gonna be so easy. Then again, partner, maybe you´re just the one to do it. And bring your friends, or heck, your enemies too- the more the merrier on the Frontier Express. Saddle up, it’s time to solve a murder on the Wild West’s most notorious train ride.
