As we get closer to welcoming your children aboard The Vault, we wanted to give you a better idea of what awaits them.
Our play tests highlighted two areas we could improve: bringing The Vault’s sci-fi story and the context of our first quest, Darwin’s Trial I, more vividly to life, and giving players a little more guidance as they navigate the game’s puzzles and challenges.
So, we’ve created the Prologue, a short, interactive introduction that sets the scene: where you are, when you are and what’s happening. It also introduces many of the game mechanics and skills players will use throughout their time-travelling adventures.
How do our Quests work?
Each Quest is made up of multiple Missions, and every Mission has two parts:
- Core Adventure: Players progress through the story, solve puzzles, overcome challenges and uncover new knowledge.
- Deep Dive: Players build on their discoveries, reinforce what they’ve learnt and tackle new challenges that take their understanding further.
What will your child play first?
They’ll begin with the Prologue (approximately 15 minutes) before travelling back in time to embark on Mission 1: Core Adventure (approximately 45 minutes) of Darwin’s Trial I.
That’s around an hour of sci-fi adventure, exploration and learning to look forward to!
