The Vault

Hire from £425.

The Vault Reaction Game

You hold the trigger - a large dome button on a coil cord - and watch a white light orbit the LED ring around the vault face. The ring has five red zones, one for each tumbler of the lock. Press the trigger at the right moment and the light stops in a zone, that tumbler clicks open. Stop all five within the 30-second clock and the vault opens, with audio confirmation and the LED display scrolling the result. If the clock runs out, the tumblers flash red and the alarm goes off.

There are four difficulty levels. At easy the light moves at a pace that gives most players a reasonable first attempt; at hard it's moving considerably faster with the zones narrowed down, which makes it a reliable competition format because the better players do genuinely pull ahead. Throughput runs at around 50 attempts an hour, so it keeps moving on a busy stand without queues building up.

The game handles itself well without supervision - the built-in audio counts down, announces results and draws attention from nearby aisles. If you want to run a leaderboard alongside it, our magnetic scoreboard fits the brief.

We've been supplying exhibition and reaction games from our Rotherham warehouse since 1999, and we own and maintain the unit in-house, so it arrives on site tested and ready to go.

In Use: Brand Activations and Corporate Events

We've supplied The Vault for brand activations for clients including Amazon, Hankook, and Cobra Network. Hankook ran it at a trade show as "Can you crack the Hankook Vault?" with a custom skirt and header panel - rebranding the challenge to the product rather than just placing a game on the stand. For Amazon's Peak Tour Challenge - a multi-week employee competition rolling across their UK fulfilment network - the game went out with an Amazon-branded header and a paper leaderboard recording daily top scores at each site.

For more formal events, we can set the game up with a separate illuminated trigger plinth: the dome button sits on a lit column a couple of metres in front of the game face, the player stands at the plinth facing the vault, and the whole thing feels considerably more like a game-show moment than the standard tabletop setup. The gallery below shows both configurations.

Branding - header panel, face overlay, printed table skirt - is printed and applied by us. The skirt is retained and reusable at no extra charge on future bookings. Full details on our branding page.
