The Vault

such a great game and exactly what I would want from a fallout themed escape room. staff was so nice and helpful. everything looked so beautiful and such a great multi-room escape.

Another reviewer called this room extremely disjointed, and that sums up my experience too. Puzzles had no flow and solving one might unlock something silently in another room that gave you no indication unless a player happened to be standing near enough to hear it open without cues. It was difficult to tell what was set dressing and what was interactable. At least 2 puzzles could be skipped or were not needed to progress, which felt like wasting our time. 1 puzzle was solved and then reset before we could use it to progress. Many of the puzzles were on touchscreens and had little to no props or hand manipulation. Felt like iPad minigames. We had to ask for hints multiple times AND didn't finish the room in time - both absolutely unheard of for my player group.

This room is definitely the most disjointed room I have ever experienced. It didn’t flow well at all. We had to ask for numerous hints which is something me and my fellow escapee tend to avoid if at all possible. And when we asked for a hint the GM would straight up just give us the answer which we didn’t want, but I guess since this room was so inscrutable in many spots that we were I guess fortunate that he gave us the answers.

It's okay, many of the puzzles are on screens and felt like mini games rather than puzzles. We bypassed a few steps and it made no difference to the experience. There is minimal background audio, lacking immersion. It works good enough, but I preferred the older version more

Lots of broken things in this room. It was ok but not a favorite. Felt boring at times. They’ve tried to update it to a more fallout theme but overall this isn’t one of the better ones.

I guess the room was fine. Honestly the story was kind of convoluted, especially because much of it was audio only. Many puzzles are done on a screen, which made me feel like I was doing an online escape room instead of in-person. At least one prop was broken, and the GM entered the room three times. There was very little “immersion” regardless of the nice looking set design. I was not treated poorly by the GM, but did feel like they didn’t really want me there. Rushed introduction and rushed ending. The GM interrupted the ending scene to take our picture and shoo us out.

Good game, still working the kinks out (we ran this on its first day out of test). If you did Ex Machina, it still has a couple of those elements but has many pretty good new puzzles and it was a pretty fun (and well put together) room!
