The Vault
2005 - 2016
A six minute escape room style experience with five interlinked electronic challenges, adaptive lighting and sound effects.
A really different and interesting family day out.
"The best part of the day was 'The Vault' which is a timed set of 5 tasks that unlock the next task as you complete the previous one. All of us came out whooping and high fiving and the kids with a real sense of achievement."

Participants enter the reception, where an attendant configures their attraction via the control panel. Participants then enter the instruction video room where they watch an introductory video. At the end of the video they are allowed into the main challenge room where they complete the five automated electronic challenges to unlock The Vault. Once unlocked, or the participants have run out of time, they are handed a DVD video of their experience, and the attendant resets the room.
The first challenge. Participants follow a circuit diagram to connect the components together using the wires provided.

"First class outing."

"Fantastic fun, great value"
"The really exciting bit is when you enter The Vault, a series of timed challenges which you do as a team under timed conditions - we only just made it having boosted out time by completing earlier challenges, so don't try it unless you gain extra time elsewhere."
