Before you choose.

Do I need to print everything?

No. Select pages from the planner or a complete chosen pack. For a connected mystery, use its own index and guide so necessary evidence is not left out.

Does it work without another purchase?

Yes. Each case contains its own player editions and separate adult guides. The parent finder and passport help you choose and record cases; no previous Vault or planner purchase is required.

What materials do I need?

A printer, matching A4 or US Letter paper, pencils and optional scrap paper. Print a complete selected case, keep the adult answers separate and play at the table. No physical locks, hidden objects, railway equipment or internet are required.

Are the fifty cases fifty different game formats?

No. Each uses ordering logic, stock arithmetic, coordinate routes, number-letter telegrams, 24-hour timetables and pretend token budgets. Its evidence and final crate instruction are separate. Check the actual samples before choosing this focused collection.

How much reading and number work is involved?

The working audience is readers aged 8+ with adult support. Players read short records, follow coordinates, add times and solve two-step arithmetic, including multiplication. Rotate reader, checker and recorder roles and use the supplied hints. Child playtests have not established age fit or completion time.

Will this be added to a previous purchase?

This is a separate fixed offer. It does not change the contents of older purchases or a Family Club membership. Check the overlap note before buying.

The three smaller game/activity collections are included in the Vault. Buying both repeats that content. The planner, Midnight Christmas Railway Storybook Carnival and Christmas Travel are separate from the Vault. Carnival repeats ten play formats across five settings. Railway uses six recurring puzzle families with new evidence in each case. Colour/ink-saving and A4/Letter versions repeat the same content. Applicable tax is calculated at checkout.
