Imagine...

You're robbers who are attempting to pull of the biggest heist of your lives.
You break into the bank with only minutes to secure your fortune...

Storyboard

In Vacuumed Treasures, the guests will assume the role of thieves breaking into the vault of a bank. The thieves know that many clients of the bank store large amounts of cash in the bank. They need to retrieve at least $50,000 of cash before the timer runs out!

The Break In

A team of thieves break into a bank vault.

The Vault

The team finds themselves in a room filled wall-to-wall with safety deposit boxes where money and other valuables are stored.

The Safety Deposit Boxes

Upon closer inspection of the safety deposit boxes, there seems to be a row of numbers at the top, and another set of numbers at the bottom.

The Vacuum

The theives also take a look at the mechanism int he middle of the room. They turn the crank and hear a fan-like noise. There's also an LED screen that shows "0/50000".

The Hoses

Picking up the hoses from the machine, they seem to be all of various sizes, but the team can see that they fit around the keyhole of the safety deposit boxes, and once the correct hose has been matched with the correct sized safety deposit box, the hose lights up!

Alarm!!

An alarm suddenly goes off in the room and the clock on the ceiling suddenly begins a countdown whilst a red light flashes.

Teamwork

teamwork

The thieves try to find the hoses the fit the keyhole of the safety deposit boxes whilst one of the thieves remains around the crank. They notice that they have to physically hold the hose there for the connection to work.

Wait a Second...

The team notices that sometimes their efforts are awarded by very small amounts of money (e.g. $1) and other times a large sum of money (e.g. $500). They then inspect the safety deposit boxes again and realize that the large set of numbers up top represent times. The first set of numbers one time and the second set of numbers a second time. They realize the further the time is apart correlates with the amount of money they get.

Fill Up the Vacuum!!!

The team of theives now does the math to find the right vaults to empty. they race to see if they can make it to $50,000 before the timer runs out!
