Our take on Vault Cracker

The defining structure is a kidnapping investigation that combines hidden-object scenes with puzzles, safecracking, and lockpicking as Melissa searches for Noah.

What is Vault Cracker?

Melissa is a former sought-after cat burglar who has been living under a false identity with her son, Noah.

When Noah disappears at the airport, Melissa receives a demand by phone and returns to her criminal skills. With help from her old friend Mouse, she searches for Noah and the kidnapper while avoiding police radar. The investigation combines hidden-object mechanics, puzzles, safecracking, and lockpicking. A character-customization feature is also included. Melissa’s search takes her through hidden-object levels and burglary-related challenges as she works to find her son.
