GameVault X
05:00
How a game works
From living room to mission in an afternoon.
The app keeps track of the answers, the time and the hints. You bring the room, the props and the puzzles.
Build
Pick a template or start from scratch. Lay out scenes, locks, hints and endings in the storyboard.
Hide
Print clues, hide objects and stick QR codes on things around the room. The app knows the answers; the room holds the puzzles.
Play
Stand the iPad up. The clock runs, hints unlock over time and wrong answers can cost seconds.
Open
When the last lock gives way, the vault opens. The treasure is a photo, a video or an AR treasure right there in the room.
Locks
Ten ways to lock a door.
Each lock has its own logic and its own rules: time limit, number of attempts and a time penalty for wrong answers. Mix them freely in the same adventure.
Alphanumeric terminal
Letters and numbers. A full QWERTY keyboard in the Matrix theme.
Safe dial
Turn the combination in the right direction, just like a real safe.
Symbols
Pick the right glyphs in the right order, like hieroglyphs in the burial chamber.
Patch panel
Plug the cables into the right sockets while the warning lamps flash.
Cryptex
Spin the rings until the secret word lines up.
Directions
Up, down, left, right. The clue decides the order.
3×3 pattern
Draw a pattern between nine points. Across a cobweb in the Haunted Manor.
Sequence
Repeat a run of colours or symbols without losing track.
QR scan
Find the right object in the room and scan the QR code you put on it.
Themes
14 themes. One mood per room.
Every theme has its own setting, locks, sounds and effects that react as the players press.
FreePremium Escape Pack
Standard
Clean and clear, with the signature cyan keypad.
FreeBank Vault
A steel vault with rivets, a wheel and heavy hinges.
FreeSpaceship
The command deck, with a nebula outside the window.
FreePirate Chest
Sunset, palm trees and a chest in the sand.
FreeMagic Tree
A mossy path into an enchanted forest.
FreeSubmarine
Deep-sea light and the silence below the surface.
FreeArt Studio
A bright studio with splashes of paint in the corners.
PremiumSafe
Dial in the code on a real safe knob. A flashlight sweeps the room.
PremiumMatrix
Code rain, CRT flicker and a full QWERTY keyboard.
PremiumBurial Chamber
Hieroglyphs carved into sandstone, lit by two living torches.
PremiumCold War Bunker
Patch cables into a panel while the warning lamps sway.
PremiumDetective Noir
Rain on the window, venetian blinds, neon glow and a typewriter keypad.
PremiumHaunted Manor
Trace a pattern across a cobweb as the moonbeam finds its way in.
PremiumSteampunk Laboratory
Brass buttons and steam valves. Pressure rises with every wrong code.
Try any theme full screen with a real lock before you buy.
Storyboard
More than a lock. A whole story.
In the storyboard, an adventure becomes a chain of scenes. Players' choices can branch the story, and there's room for more than one ending.
Choices and endings
Branch the story and decide what happens on a success, a failure or a neutral ending.
Your own material
Import photos, video, audio and PDF pages. A presentation exported as PDF becomes a slideshow.
Messages as props
Show text as a sealed letter, a folded note, an official dossier or an ancient scroll.
Timed hints
Hints with text, images or audio unlock after a set time. Taking one early costs time.
Three templates to start from
A quick single-lock vault, a classic escape with three locks, and a branching mystery.
Test before the guests arrive
Validate the project and play the whole mission from start to finish.
Game master tools
You decide how hard it should be.
A clock for the game and each lock
One countdown for the whole adventure, plus time limits per lock.
Attempts and time penalties
Limit the number of attempts and make wrong answers cost seconds.
Right digit, right place
Optional feedback that shows which digits are correct, so nobody gets stuck.
Creator PIN
Players can't leave a game in progress without your code.
Game report
See the time, attempts and hints used for every round.
Failing in style
Dedicated effects for wrong answers, time running out and running out of attempts, in three intensity levels.
AR treasure
Place the treasure in the room and let players hunt for it through the camera.
Sound, haptics and calmer effects
Turn off what distracts. The app also follows the system Reduce Motion setting.

Made for
One app. Four very different evenings.
The party
End the treasure hunt at the vault. The treasure can be a video greeting or the map to the presents.

Turn revision into a mission. Every right answer gives one digit of the code.
The kickoff
Teamwork under time pressure, with different endings depending on what the team chooses.
The gift
The present stays shut until the code is cracked. The greeting plays when the vault opens.

FAQ
Before you build your first room.
Does every player need a device?
No. One iPhone or iPad is enough. It becomes the lock and the storyteller, while the clues are around the room: on paper, in objects or behind QR codes.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything you build is stored on the device and playing needs no connection. You only need the internet for purchases and when a game key downloads a treasure file.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad. The latest version requires iOS 17 or later. An iPad makes the biggest impact standing in the room.
What does it cost?
The app is free with seven themes. Premium Escape Pack is a one-time purchase that unlocks the seven premium themes. The price is shown on the App Store.
Can we use GameVault X at school?
Yes. The app needs no accounts and sends no data to us. The privacy policy has tips on handling student material.
How do I end a game in progress?
If you've set a creator PIN, hold the close button and enter the code. That way players can't leave the game by accident.
The next room is yours.
Build your first mission tonight. Your players will be talking about the vault long after it opens.
