Vault 805

We had a good time in Vault 805! Good flow and some tricky puzzles. One in particular that I did quite enjoy. Enjoyable puzzle mix, cool theming but a bit worn around the edges. We did have two tech failures in our game, one flashlight refusing to work and one sticky lock that we needed the GM to come and fix for us, which was a bit frustrating. I also remember one puzzle with super precise input, not my favorite. (The fun should be solving the puzzle to get the code, not inputting the code 10 times because one dial is a millimeter off!!) Overall a decent time. Would not travel to play, but if you happen to be in the area, it’s a fine choice. Emily was our GM!

I by no means would call this room “hard”. This game gives you 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you’ve never done an escape room before or are doing it with younger kids to help figure out clues then sure, that amount of time would be good. But if you have done a number of escape rooms before you will figure out very quickly how easy this room is. My husband and I along with our 7 and 8 year olds completed this room in 39 minutes and we weren’t even rushing. We are use to challenges and getting out of rooms by the skin of our teeth. Some of the puzzles literally tell you how to get the codes to open locks. Half the fun is figuring out how the puzzles work so it takes away some of the fun.

Well thought out room. Super fun!

I hate that I have to give just a “liked” rather than a “loved” for this room but I’ll explain why. I really love the straightforward and logical nature of the puzzles here and enjoyed the experience while it lasted. The quality of puzzle design is up there with some of the better rooms I’ve done, and I really want others to experience them. The only problem is that the room was advertised (and priced) as a 75 minute room and we got out in 32 min without hints. This was disappointing and unfortunately the same was true of their other “75 minute” room which we also did today. We got out of that one without hints in 39 minutes. Even if these rooms were advertised (and priced) as 60 minute rooms we would have felt a bit disappointed but with the “75 min” expectation, we felt taken advantage of and reluctant to purchase more experiences from this company.

We had a really good time in this room. The game flowed pretty well and all puzzles worked well. There were a couple of pretty cool unique puzzles that we enjoyed as well. Our game guide Ashley was very kind and a great help. I only have one complaint, one puzzle doesn’t belong as it is from another video game and really doesn’t fit.

I really liked this room. Close to a love but we spent too much time on a couple clues for reasons that may not have been entirely our fault. It's not because I'm a sore loser I promise! 😆 In addition, a major time sucker was waiting for a hint to come up on the screen. We asked for 2 hints and I swear it took over a minute each for them to be typed out. Not sure if this was part of the AI theme or the host had trouble typing it out but I felt like it added to our 4 minutes over time. And part of the hint they give us, we had already figured out! It made me not want to ask for hints. Otherwise, the clues varied in uniqueness and difficulty. It was well themed and fun! Would definitely recommend.

Cute Fallout-esc themed room. Puzzles were novel to the theme and flowed pretty well.

Seriously one of the most memorable escape experiences. Months later I still talk about this room experience--super creative puzzles, unique, challenging and exciting. Love the adventure feelings received with this room. My gf and I were able to escape with only one minor technical difficulty, but it wasn't a big deal. Lots and lots of puzzles. All enjoyable.

My friends and I had a lot of fun with this room! There were a lot of creative puzzles, the story was fun, and it all flowed together really well.

This was my second favorite room at this company. Very challenging but we still made it out in 38 minutes with no hints.
