Read full description

Every vault hides a single year in history. Read the four emoji magnets on the door, piece together the moment they point to, and dial the year to crack it open. No multiple choice, no lucky guesses - just you and the clues. Vaultellect is a puzzle of pure deduction. A crown, a French flag, a castle, a rising sun... which year do they unlock? Think it through, dial the code, and feel the vault swing open to reveal the story behind it. HOW TO PLAY - Study the four emoji clues on the vault door - Deduce the year in history they describe, BC or AD - Dial it in and hit OPEN - Stuck? Reveal a clue, or take the hit and skip - Solve for points, build your streak, crack the next vault WHAT'S INSIDE - 225 hand-crafted puzzles spanning from the ancient world to today - 15 topics to choose from: Kings and Rulers, Wonders and Monuments, Ideas and Charters, Faith and Belief, Literature, War and Peace, Revolutions, Science, Technology, Art and Letters, Music, Sport, Exploration, Disasters, and Man in Space - A vintage brass-and-parchment vault you'll want to keep cracking - Atmospheric soundtrack, with a one-tap mute - Your progress is always saved PLAYS IN YOUR LANGUAGE Full support for English, Russian, Hebrew (right-to-left), Italian, and French - switch anytime, mid-game. Whether you're a history buff or just love a good brain-teaser, every vault is a small mystery waiting to be solved. How many can you crack?

The call

First To Life's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
