## What is Spooky Express?

Try before you buy. No ads. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full game.

Take charge of the Spooky Express; the only rail service willing to carry the undead passengers of deepest, darkest Trainsylvania. In your new role you'll plan routes and lay train tracks to meet your creepy commuters' demands, and create a rail network spanning more than 200 thoughtfully designed levels. 

Each monster has a home of their own: take the vampires to their coffins and the zombies to their graves, and escort the interloping humans away before they’re snacked upon. There’s only room for one at a time in the passenger car and the track can’t cross itself, so plot your route carefully, lay the tracks, and don't let the train miss its stops.

Trainsylvania spans a host of unique locations, with each puzzle forming a cosy diorama, complete with spooky soundtrack. Whether you're puzzling through the Pumpkin Patch, meandering through the Morbid Manor, or investigating the Impish Inferno, you'll find playful touches and surprises around every corner.

• An elegant, playful puzzler, jam-packed with monsters and mechanics.
• Thoughtfully designed puzzles which expertly balance complexity and approachability.
• Created by the award-winning designers of A Monster's Expedition, A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, Cosmic Express and more.
• Featuring several delightful comics from David Hellman and Zac Gorman.
• Accompanied by a haunting soundtrack from Priscilla Snow. 

No generative artificial intelligence (AI) was used in the creation of this game or promotional materials. Draknek & Friends believes in the value of real human labour and inspiration in all of our endeavours.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2026-07-14*

I love the art style, this game is really fun and I recommend.

### 2/5 — cannot buy！！！！！

*2026-07-02, version 1.0.4*

so sad！！！！！see me！！！

### 5/5 — A+

*2026-06-19*

Draknek are masters of the puzzle game and this is their best yet. It has all of the best elements of their old games – a sense of humor, a cute concept, intuitive level design that teaches you the game concepts, and extremely tough puzzles. Because of the way they've designed the level paths you can complete the game even if the toughest puzzles stymie you, which I think is a great compromise for  accessibility + puzzle, nerd enjoyment. And those little characters are so damn cute!

### 2/5 — I did not have fun

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.4*

The train is to hard to control and the help button didn’t help me

### 3/5 — Muito fofo porém poucas fases gratuitas

*2026-05-04*

O jogo é muito fofo e interessante, a pequena narrativa, personagens e trilha sonora é perfeita, contudo grande parte do jogo só é disponível após pagar (200 fases que só são acessadas se pagarem) cheguei em uma parte que eu não consigo prosseguir jogando pq tenho que pagar para isso. Minha única reclamação, de resto é ótimo.

### 3/5 — Be Aware! Demons portrayed in game.

*2026-04-29*

Really sad about this. Excellent gameplay. Cute little Halloween characters, not my thing, but seemed harmless. But as game Progresses, it shows Demons and Pentagram-adjacent imagery. I guess I should have known better.

### 4/5 — They Made Me Kill Vampire 😩

*2026-04-19*

They hook you with a sad story of some poor zombie and vampire getting kicked off the train. So you solve 80 tracks to make sure you get these undead folks home. Suddenly, you get to Impish Inferno and you're forced into escorting pig-like imps and having them burn vampires to ash.

It's such a fun, relaxing game. But, I have to say that it really ruined the coziness of it all for me. Had they not done that, it would be five-star.

### 5/5 — Amazing game bruh

*2026-04-17, version 1.0.4*

It’s literally the best game known to man, and as a Halloweeniac, I must say, this is a great game, perfect amount of challenging and fun!!!🎃

### 5/5 — Милота

*2026-02-27*

.

### 5/5 — Quebra cabeças esperto

*2026-02-05*

Não é difícil a ponto de empacar, mas é o suficiente pra ser desafiador.
