Bank Examiner Escape Room

During your first ever examination at a De Novo Bank, you and your team have been locked in the vault by a jealous former examiner employee. The vault is virtually air-tight, but there is one way out.

You must obtain clues to aid in your escape (once you believe you have solved a clue, let your instructor know to determine if you can move forward).

You will need to enter the Exit Code, but you cannot input the code until all clues have been obtained. In addition, the code locks out forever after two failed attempt.

Focus on your surroundings, work together as a team, remember the importance of digging into clues and asking follow-up questions. Good luck!
