Once we were checked in, we were given a locker to store our belongings, which was convenient. The only thing I didn't like--and was a bit disappointed by--was that I had to seek someone out to let them know it was our first time so they could explain how to utilize the rooms, gain access, and understand exactly what needed to be done. A brief intro or automatic walkthrough for first-timers would have made the experience smoother. That said, the games themselves were extremely fun. Some were a bit complicated at first, but I loved that you can either verse the person you're with or work together as a team, which made it perfect for a date. Overall, a fun and unique experience with just a little room for improvement on first-time guidance.

I suggest coming on a weekday if you do not want to wait a minute or two for each game! You have 45 minutes for unlimited game access, with about 9-10 games to choose from. Each game only lasts 2-4 minutes tho, depending on the game. When entering, they provide a locker for any bags or items you want to place. They give you two wristbands (one for game access and the other for a locker of your belongings). The staff was so friendly. I was running out of breath and trying to rush to get our last game in and he told me to relax and have fun! The staff also takes the time to explain each game in the beginning and although it was busy, they definitely made the experience so much more fun. Some of the games are a bit complicated, and hard to understand even after the game explains it to you! My favorite was the grid. Me and my boyfriend made a tiktok about activate and it went viral! At the end, you can redeem your points earned for a prize. Me and my boyfriend got the keychain that also provides 10% off your next visit within the next 30 days. Definitely can NOT wait to come again!

However most of the games weren't working. There were games that looked to be worked but it turns out they weren't. So basically any money I had on my card got eaten up and when I went to customer service they claimed to put it back but when I checked the balance it wasn't true. Perhaps it was the card but it was just a terrible experience. A lot of the people working seemed very inexperienced.

It ended up just being my group and another birthday party which was really fun. The announcer was very nice and the games were CALM AND EASY. Thank god.

From what I saw, most of the arcade games & crane machines requires at least 9+ credits to even play. There were a decent amount of ticket games as well as non-ticket games like DDR, Typhoon simulator, bowling, etc. They also have laser tag, VR, a bounce house, trampolines and ballocity. Laser Bounce is pretty pricey but it lasted the girls for over an hour so it's worth it. The prizes sucked tho- 40 tickets for a dum dum lollipop, 500 tickets for a pen, 1000 tickets for a mini blind box SMH...you're better off saving your tickets for next time.

The entry ticket purchased also gave access to bowling, bumper cars and several rides. Early arrival is suggested to avoid long lines. The food was very mid (carnival level), the drinks varied depending on which bar you got your drink from. The pool area was jammed pack.... Literally people standing on top of each other. We spent the majority of our time inside where we enjoyed ourselves the most. All in all we had a good time and would go back next summer.

The arcade is very big and there's a lot of options that would make little kids happy. It's a good place to bring younger kids to kill half a day in the arcades or other amenities, like for a morning and early afternoon run. Or just swing by for a couple of hours before lunch at the arcades and other little attractions there. I wouldn't say it's a more exciting way to spend the day than going to the attractions at American Dream or anything like that. But it's a great place for simple fun and enjoyment on a smaller scale if you don't feel like doing more than just keeping kids or teens occupied for a few hours.

It's definitely an epic setup for anyone looking to spend an afternoon or evening diving into retro gaming. Also, the name "Vault" is perfect. The place is inside an old bank, and the safe deposit boxes are still in the vault beneath the TRON neon sign. Very cool atmosphere that adds to the whole experience. Highly recommended for gamers of all ages!

The vibes really elevated the experience and made this so much more than just another arcade. The price was also great, making this a great pit stop on any trip to Morristown.
