What is Puzz-3D: The Orient Express from the Twenties?

If you’re hell-bent on solving a three- dimensional puzzle on the Mac, then check out Puzz 3D: The Orient Express from the Twenties.

In some ways, computer puzzling is efficient. You can create trays to sort pieces of like color quickly. Pieces that fit snap together; pieces that don’t fit repel each other. The reward for finishing a puzzle level is a tour through the Orient Express. The more levels you complete, the more cars you can visit. Impressive 3D graphics stay historically true to the train’s look — right down to the Lafique glass paneling. Plus a good number of video clips narrate the history of La Compagnie des Wagonslits, which built the Orient Express.

Regrettably, the more levels you complete, the more ridiculous the storyline gets. Gypsy clairvoyant Madame Sosostris guides you through a Mah-Jong fortune-telling game, which unfolds the plan of two Italian fascist passengers to kidnap fellow passenger Albert Einstein. Luckily, amateur detective Wendy Richmond is on the case.

Our advice is to focus on solving the puzzle while ignoring the story.
