It's called The Vault. They're on episode 8, plus mini episodes. Each is only about 10 minutes.

It's awesome. If you liked Lost, watch this.

A bunch of college students are locked up in nondescript white rooms. It's part of a reality show set in 2016. Each room has something that makes it unique. A switchboard or a piano or bottles of water. They're all isolated from one another. They have a week to figure out how to escape. Then stuff goes wrong.

Considering it's just people in white rooms talking to one another, it's super gripping. Once I started watching I couldn't stop.

This is the first episode:



They actually have four brief prologues, then a few .5 episodes between the main episodes. This playlist will play them all in order, from the prologue:

Episodes through #11 are due out every three weeks or so. After that, I don't know.

Check it out.

Also, for the record, bottled water girl is super cute.

That was cool. But Episode One has not bottled-water-girl. Grrr.

Thanks for the suggestion. I watched an introduction from one of the actors and episode 1 so far. Makes me want to watch the rest for sure.

I've been watching the much larger budget, Bryan Singer web series, H+ http://www.youtube.com/user/HplusDigitalSeries/videos and The Vault seems more interesting already.

So I've watched all the episodes. I hope there is a fan website where people have been keeping track of things. I say that because if there isn't I can tell you right now I'm going to be forced to rewatch every episode and take notes. I've already sorta made mental notes of various number, colour, school combos in my head.

Oh and I'd agree water bottle girl is super cute but my heart has been stolen by the Seton Hall cutie.

Henry is the best actor I think but Eric is the best character in my opinion.

You got through them faster than I did! I'm still back on episode 3. Gotta pace myself!

Quite a few of the girls are cute. Generally speaking none of the actors have been impressing me. They're all serviceable, nobody is really great. Although I like the DJ ... he sounds like a real DJ! (He probably is.)

OK, so I watched them. Now I need more. Grrr.


Newspaper clipping headlines: "The First Photos of Manned Mission to Mars Released". In 2016? Alas, no.

Did any of you look at their website/blog? The forum at Reddit is the best for current information and comparing ideas.

Thankfully for my OCD, someone else already has been keeping track of things.

The thing that makes me nervous is that the whole thing is written, directed and filmed by two guys. There is one set which is located in the one guy's apartment and they film when they have extra time. Mark Cuban got involved after the series started but if they don't get more people behind the scenes, I suspect it will be a long time between videos.

They said through episode 11 are filmed and should come out a few weeks apart.

After that ... yeah, could be slow going unless they get funding/viewers/time.

I'm really enjoying it. The concept is fun, the actors are fine (I like Eric best, and not because of his name), and puzzling out what the stuff means is enjoyable. (The fish are, of course, the people in the Vault.)

I really hopes this takes off enough for them to be able to finish it. I'm now so intrigued by what's going on I'll be disappointed if I don't get closure.

Then I want a spinoff with water bottle girl.

Fixed.

Speaking of bottled water girl, how does she actually get the bottled water to the other players?

If they can pass stuff around (apart from just tossing trash to one particular room) I haven't seen it, but I bet fish could eat fortune cookie crumbs. If not that, sacrifice them one at a time, mash them up for fish food, and feed the rest. Do you have to change water on bowls that small to keep them supplied with air? I've never actually owned gold fish - an aquarium, yes, but that had an aeration system.

Hmm, it seems like Barry (the black stationary cyclist adding power to the communications center) has actually died in real life, unless I misunderstood. I hope it wasn't due to a heart attack from all that peddling. Anyway, his death has to change things a bit. Get an actor with a resemblance to Barry to replace him? RIP, Barry, regardless, we hardly knew you. In fact . . .

I don't recall them outright saying how the water is delivered. I would assume some kind of pneumatic tube system.

Yes, the actor who played Barry really died. In a second I'll update this post with a blog from the creators talking about his death.

Announcing he was in a coma.

Sharing that he died.

I guess I recall cans of food dropping, and food girl maybe having some grid of holes she might put cans in. A pretty complicated thing to work for 145 people.

16 x 9 grids are just gross, too.

A new episode is up:

Could somebody put "The Vault" in the actual topic/title for this thread? Thanks.

Almost one month later, a new episode appears.

Episode 11 is up. It took 5 to 6 weeks this time.

Episode 12


Episode 13

This has been a pretty good show.

Episode 14

yeah, and that Alex chick is pretty hot....

Episode 15 - almost 20 minutes - and still not the end.

I just happened upon that today while I was scooting around. I thought I was subscribed to their channel but evidently not--I was not warned. Wonder how many parts are left? I'd think only one but who knows?
