How Vault Drop Works

Creating mystery files is simple. Just three steps to add intrigue to your puzzles and games.

1

Upload Real & Dummy PDF

Add your real file and a decoy. We store both securely.

2

View in Dashboard

Only the real file appears in your list — the decoy stays hidden.

3

Wait to Unlock

Open and wait to see the real file. Any movement or clicks? You only get the dummy.

Perfect forEvery Mystery

From escape rooms to surprise reveals, Vault Drop adds an element of discovery that makes every experience more engaging.

Escape Rooms

Hide secret clues inside PDFs that only appear after the player waits without moving — perfect for tension-filled moments.

Mystery Games

Add timed patience tests where story details or codes are revealed only after the player stays still.

Surprise Reveals

Store hidden artwork, maps, or text that only show up for patient explorers.

Team Challenges

In co-op puzzle games, let one player act as the 'watcher' who must wait to see the real clue.

ARGs & Storytelling

Build alternate reality games where certain files transform into real content only after time passes.

Treasure Hunts

Place hints inside dummy PDFs that become real maps when viewed patiently at the right stage of the hunt.

Built forSimplicity

Vault Drop is designed to be powerful yet simple. No complex setups, just pure mystery at your fingertips.

PDF-only

Supports PDF files to keep rendering and reveal behavior predictable.

Passkey Gate

Require or generate a secret passkey during upload to control access.

Made for Games

Built for escape rooms, ARGs, and puzzle events — a reveal mechanic, not a sharing tool.

15s Inactivity Unlock

After a short preview, the viewer must remain inactive for 15 seconds to unlock the real PDF.

Decoy & Reveal

Viewers see the dummy PDF first; any movement or click during the watch window keeps the dummy visible.

Authenticated & Private

Clerk authentication and a Convex backend control access — no public links or sharing.
