The Vault Game

The Vault Game is an interactive, outdoor, augmented reality game. It is located on the site of the Old Bank in Bedford and is based on the local urban myth that a bank vault is still buried underneath the site. Buried deep underneath Bedford Town Centre lies a Vault— home to fortune yet long forgotten, until now! Discover key landmarks on Bedford High Street and uncover Bedford’s hidden history to have a chance of cracking The Vault.

In 2021, Bedford Creative Arts commissioned Julian Beever, a world-renowned illusion artist, to create an illusionary 3D artwork at the site of the Old Bank in Bedford.

Travel back in time to uncover the treasures hidden within The Vault.
