The manager of the Bank Heist bank keeps a careful record: the crews, the losses and the condition of his vault door. Newest entries first.
In short: The Bank Manager’s Diary is a comic, fictional journal by the manager of the bank in Bank Heist, the bank vault escape room at Escape This Perth CBD. Nothing in it gives a puzzle away, so it is safe to read before the job, and every entry links to the real room facts.
Bank Heist is a bank vault escape room designed, built and run by Escape This at Escape This Perth CBD, in The Basement on Hay Street Mall. Players are a crew of robbers who have tunnelled into a bank vault; the tunnel collapses, some deposit boxes are wired to the police, and the only way out is through the vault door.
This diary is fiction written by Escape This. The room has a bank manager’s desk but no named manager; the diary imagines one, and adds a night watchman called Clive and a name for the vault door. No real bank, person or event is described, and no puzzle is given away.
Everything said out of character on these pages, from crew limits and age rules to ticket prices and how many crews get out, is drawn from Escape This’s live booking and game data and refreshed with every rebuild.
The Bank Manager, a fussy, made-up character who runs the bank your crew robs in Bank Heist at Escape This Perth CBD. Each comic entry complains about a real part of the room, such as the wired deposit boxes, Saturday crew sizes or the lack of crawling, and sits beside the real facts and a booking link.
No. The vault has a manager’s desk, but the man who sat at it is imagined for the diary, which Escape This writes for fun. No real bank or banker is described, and Clive the night watchman and Beatrice, the name he gives the vault door, exist only in its pages. The room facts beside each entry are real.
No. The Bank Manager describes his vault door, his deposit boxes and his alarms only as broadly as the Bank Heist story does. He never says which boxes are wired, what any code is or what opens what, so a crew can read every entry and still learn nothing useful for the job.
Two are. Escape This’s booking records show Bank Heist opening at Escape This Perth CBD on 10 September 2021, and an older Bank Heist at Escape This Northbridge closing on 7 May 2023; the diary’s entries for those days carry those dates. The rest are chosen for the story, while the facts beside each entry stay current.
Roughly monthly. New pages of the Bank Manager’s Diary appear on their dates right through 2027, each about a different part of Bank Heist, from wheelchair access and gift vouchers to the leaderboard, so there’s usually a fresh complaint from the bank when you check back.
