great hosting

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.

Great fun throughout anyway.

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...

Puzzles are quite strongly maths-based, which fits thematically but didn’t really play to our strengths. Spotting the thoughtfully provided calculator
