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.
This is a break-in, not a break out. The building itself is an old bank and you're literally breaking into the former vault - nice twist.
We struggled with a couple of puzzles at the start, but this was us being thick rather than the room letting us down in any way. As I recall, we escaped in the nick of time, but we could have been faster if we had thought about it more.
The room was a little basic in design and looked like it had been done on a bit of a budget, compared to their other rooms, but we still enjoyed it and importantly: escaped.
Really good and original concept, less an escape more a break-in. The last lock was fiddly meaning we thought we had the code wrong.. it may have been an issue on our end 😀
Great fun throughout anyway.
A fairly easy one for us, but still good fun.

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...
