### 3/5 — 暇つぶしに。

*2026-01-04*

とりあえずこんなにダイアル錠をやったのは初めてです。

### 3/5 — An ad in disguise

*2024-11-17*

The one level challenge you get is very well designed, but fairly easy. I finished it in under five minutes. It ends with no in-game explanation that it’s an ad. Instead, thinking you need to click to advance a level, you click on a text link which sends you to a website for a live escape room in the Netherlands. 

I don’t playable ads, but I do mind blindly porting out to a site I have no reason to visit. I’m surprised this hasn’t been corrected by them.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2023-04-08*

Fun short game, used as a preparation to the real life Vault escape room in Amsterdam. The booking link in the app does not work anymore though!

### 2/5 — Fun game, only one level

*2022-08-10*

Great graphics, good challenges but only one level. Then it links you to a website to book an escape room adventure in Amsterdam.

### 3/5 — Confused

*2022-07-02*

I’m really bummed out because I finished the first level and I can’t even go to the next I don’t know if you have to do something at the table at the end or what because I can’t go on. I really was enjoying this game but now there’s nothing left to do

### 4/5 — Good

*2017-02-05*

Good game and graphics :)

### 3/5 — Décourageant !!!

*2016-09-13*

Je n'arrive pas à ouvrir le coffre qui se trouve dans la pièce en bas de l'escalier!!!
Il doit s'agir d'un bug car cela fait des jours que j'essai toutes les combinaisons et rien ne se passe!!!!

### 3/5 — Tigerlilly57

Ok, it was a bit slow for ipad2 but still do-able. Just really disappointed that this short game ended as I really liked it. Didn't get the booking form...who the hell want to play live, we want iPad game to go on longer!

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-08-11*

Very good game but the safe room puzzle is too difficult to see which number is which even though I know exactly what to do.

### 4/5 — Nice game..but

*2016-08-07*

Yes, a nice escape game. Like the graphics, but I guess my old IPad2 is a bit slow for it. Turning wheels, keys and trying to move lever for e.g. Takes a long time to respond..Just got to the safe room(I guess the last puzzle?) but have difficulties turning the numbers. The clicks work for the first number in one direction, going for the second (in reverse) no more clicks :-( Maybe I got the clue wrong..    :-)) Still, like it!!

### 5/5 — Loved it! Can't wait to try the live version!

*2016-08-07*

Wish I could afford to jump on a plane to Amsterdam to try out the live version. Really enjoyed this break in.

### 1/5 — Cannot finished

*2024-03-26*

The game is beautiful and very nice but there is no way you can finish the safe’s puzzle once the vault is closed and the countdown starts. There is no clues has well. Too bad. Who want’s to recommend a game you cannot finished?

### 1/5 — Confused

*2021-02-06*

I downloaded The Vault and went through the first segment, at the end of it lands me to a room where there is a table, on the table is a map and a ring, tap to proceed to next quest, the next quest won’t download or something. It really bombed me out because I was enjoying the game.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-28*

Can’t start the game! The door don’t open

### 1/5 — Doesnt run on iPad Air

*2019-10-04*

Crashes every time when trying to run on iPad Air

### 1/5 — Hard time with vault on level one!

*2019-07-25*

Hi I was stuck on the vault I got the thingy and the cutter I just can’t get the numbers so please add a skip feature

### 1/5 — Verarsche

*2016-10-18*

Das Spiel an sich ist nett gemacht, es macht Spaß. Allerdings ist man nach ca 15 Minuten durch. Und das war es dann auch schon. Die Überraschung folgt nun. Man wird auf eine Bookin Seite eines echten Escape Room in Amsterdam gelotst. Dort soll man dann für nur 149 Euro eine Session buchen. Dafür das man das Spiel durchgespielt hat bekommt man einen Rabatt von 10 Euro. Vollkommen lächerlich. Im Prinzip eine Werbeaktion, für die ich auch noch per App zahlen durfte. ==> kauft euch die App nicht, unseriös.

### 1/5 — 7 Minuten Werbung

*2016-10-17*

Mäßig schwere Rätsel und nach maximal 20 Minuten ist man durch...
Dafür 1€ ist zuviel.

### 1/5 — Sherlocked

*2016-10-12*

Zahle einen Euro für ca. 10  Minuten Schlösser knacken auf dem Handy, nur damit du deinen Besuch im Sherlocked in Amsterdam buchen kannst? Ich glaub es hackt! Ich will mein Geld zurück! Scheiss Aktion!

### 1/5 — Not worth

*2016-08-30*

The game is quite interesting in the beginning, with some good puzzles to be solved. However after not long the game ends, and you can only continue by paying a rather high amount of money (over £100!!??). Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Un poil tordu

*2016-08-06*

Bloqué dès le 1er niveau j'ai fini par le désinstaller. Il manque un système d'aide.

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzler!

*2025-11-29*

Great game and I’m really looking forward to anything else from this developer!

### 5/5 — Really great

*2024-04-03*

Loved this, would love to go to Amsterdam, I’ve put it on my bucket list, would love a longer version of this fantastic game!

### 5/5 — Graphics

*2022-03-07*

Dude these graphics are waaaaay amazing for it to be free! Hands down to the creator and the designer!!! Thank you for the hard work it shows and a darrrrrn good game!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-04-23*

Went to the actual Sherlocked Vault escape room in Amsterdam - that was amazing and the app is a great precursor to the whole experience!

### 5/5 — Help

*2017-04-23*

How do you plug the device into the vault? I am unable to use my tool either, which I believe is plowed if some sort.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-02-15*

I really like this type of games. This one is really addicting and it is exercise for your brain. The graphics is good, but the interface is a bit clumsy. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Adventure

*2017-02-04*

Best for people who can accept challenge

### 5/5 — Super Spiel!

*2016-09-07*

Das Spiel ist echt Klasse es ist nur schade, dass die Testversion so kurz ist. Wer das Spiel The Room gespielt hat wird hier einige Sachen wiedererkennen (vor allem die Steuerung)

### 5/5 — Well done! 👍🏼

*2016-08-08*

Absolutely awesome escape game...very similar in style to The Room games.  Series of clues to figure out how to open a safe in each room.  Plays as a stand alone game, and intriguing enough to make me visit Amsterdam just to play the real life game!  Cheers to these developers for a job well done here.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Sehr knifflig

*2016-08-07*

So will man rätseln!
