The world has already ended. The promise of mutually assured destruction wasn't enough to stop the superpowers of the USA and the USSR from unleashing their nuclear arsenal. Now there is only desolation and waste. But there's still hope. Small bands of survivors have emerged into the wasteland; the human race survives by a thread but the rebuild has begun. Still, the threat of destruction lingers on. In the wasteland, a madman has taken control. He believes that the human race is a disease and the only way to save the world is to finish the work of our predecessors and wipe the human "parasite" from the face of the earth. He has gathered an army, found the last Nuclear Vault and flipped the doomsday switch. You are part of a small band of survivors who have infiltrated the Vault, and it is up to you to cancel the launch and stop the apocalypse. Can you save what's left of the world? Can you escape the Vault with the madman's army closing in? Survival is not guaranteed.

Another great room at the Canberra Escape Rooms. 3/3 all amazing and unique. This one had some great light elements and cool effects that really made the room pop. Even the puzzle that took us the longest made sense in the end with all we were given.

We have now done all 3 of the rooms at Escape Rooms Canberra and we were trying to pick a favorite and it’s just difficult because they were all amazing!! This room was a super fun nuclear apocalypse theme. The puzzles were great and fit right along with theme. The puzzles were unique and the perfect level of challenging without being impossible. Highly recommend you check out this and the other rooms if you get the chance!!!

What a brilliant room! Incredibly immersive theming, superb tech, and just a whole lot of fun from start to finish. Many clever ideas and impressive moments. Our team of 4 may have escaped in under 37 minutes without needing a clue, but there was a lot to do, plenty of challenges to overcome, and we loved every second of it. Definitely deserves its place in the upper echelons of Aussie escape rooms.

The Vault was the first of our experiences at Escape Rooms Canberra and boy did it blow me away. From the beginning you feel transported into the world as the set design is absolutely stunning. Based in a wasteland bunker kind of situation your job is to save the world from ending... again. Every puzzle we had to complete was very in world and thematic and with every solve we bought further and further into the environment around us. Some extremely creative puzzles alongside very fun moments of discovery and theatrics, we had a ball the entire time. I only wish that the storyline was either read out by the GM or played over the speakers prior instead of just written on posters in the reception. Definitely not a deal breaker though. Shout out to our Game Master Chloe who dealt with our incessant joking and stupidity without a complaint.

A fantastic room and one of my absolute favourites in Canberra. The Vault (and all the rooms at ERC) do extremely well when it comes to utilising a reasonably small space, their emphasis on prop design, room layout and thematic puzzles creates an infinitely more immersive experience than some of the larger escape rooms I’ve played. Though not a super difficult room, the Vault had so many clever solves which only made us more excited to move on and discover more. Really struggling with the negatives here (can’t fault the vault ha) as everything was wonderful. I only wish more rooms in Melbourne would hold themselves to this standard. Shoutout to Chloe and Dean who ran our room, super lovely people 🫶

Amazing room. It was fun and enjoyable. There was a major jump scare and it almost threw me off my feet!
The gameplay was amazing. It felt immersive and like you were truely trapped (while not feeling unsafe).
Not scary
But has a huge jumpscare, it was genuinely the first time I have ever screamed at a scare

Completed The Vault with 4 people. It had some really creative puzzles that I hadn’t seen before elsewhere. The space was a little cramped at times as the rooms weren’t that big but it had a good range of puzzles - there were only a few number locks and the others were more high tech. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent use of technology, super logical puzzles and smart narrative where you still get pushed for time even if you’re progressing well with the room.
