Another great room that is now sadly closed. This game is based on how much money you can steal in the 1 hour limit. We managed the full amount as a 4...as a 2 we may have struggled. The adrenaline rush from robbing the vault was fun.
Our GM Garry was a hoot!
RIP Bank of Stirling!
A cracking example of a bank heist room with a great number of varied puzzles for the experienced escape roomers out there! We did this room with my sister in law and brother in law and 4 minds really helped with the number of different puzzles towards the end of the game, emptying all of the lockers that we encountered. Our host was excellent! Really enjoyed the experience, you can always tell when a host is an enthusiast too as their heart and soul generally goes into the rooms they create, and this was no different!
Had great fun today stealing lots of people’s money at Escape Stirling! This room has a brilliant concept which means that you don’t really fail to escape, success is measured on how much value you manage to amass in the hour. Mostly logical, with some really good signposting for the majority of the puzzles, although we felt that once or twice an illogical leap needed to be made which meant we had to take a few hints. One of the padlocks was a bit tricksy too and it took repeated attempts to enter the correct solution into it before it sprung, thankfully, just before we timed out. These small niggles aside, this was a really unusual, well themed room, which we had a blast at and would really recommend. Great hosting from Garry, too! Will be back to play the other rooms at Escape Stirling.
Well paced game with plenty of puzzles in the vault to keep you busy for the full hour.
A nice bank heist game with lots of short, quick fire puzzles. Nearly everything worked well but a broken piece of equipment cost us about 20 mins in time!
Tech was broken in room and when we could go further we asked for help. No one answered so one of us walked out of the room, down the corridor to the bar to ask for help. Staff stood around talking and not engaged. Poor
This was a break in instead of break out. There were several (3?) broken puzzles which we weren't informed of. One the GM triggered when we got to the puzzle but that then made it seem like we accidentally solved something instantly. One meant we wasted time and the last meant they'd placed an essential item to crack one vault into another vault which we didn't access but would have been able to if it had been in the place the GM said it was usually.
We enjoyed ourselves but it could have been better.
A nice enough set, but not a great room overall. Pretty illogical with some non existent signposting leading to some very frustrating vault opening at the end. Some props that either didn't work at all, or clearly used to work but were now just part of the scenery.
Found this really quite frustrating. Some simple signposting would help a lot.

The Bank Vault is of course a heist game. It’s also designed to be a variable score game, where your success is based on how much money you get out with, not how quickly you finish. Staying past the 60 minute mark is a failure, but the gamemaster prompts when your time is short to make sure you don’t accidentally stay too long, so it’s a question of how much you can unlock in the time provided. This design has the big advantage for enthusiasts that you’re pretty much guaranteed a full hour of ga...
