Solving The Lost Vault of Jesse James – Best Puzzle of 2022
Foreign must have been a shrub if you’re here, for what I think you’re here, for either that or crazy enough to eat the Devil. With the horns on sure enough, you got my attention just now. One thing letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in. Thank you for sure you want to go down this road. You know they say this vault’s harder to break in than a Bronco on a bad day, but I tell you what, you go ahead and give it a shot.
If you fail the faster you can say, hi dang of my name, ain’t Jesse James. Welcome back! Almost the end of 2022 – and we are blessed today with an extremely beautiful puzzle. This is the brainchild of Jesse born now. Jesse born is known for making some incredibly extravagant puzzles, including the Mayan Sundial puzzle, which we solved a couple weeks or a couple months back.
It was one of my favorites all year and I think this one I think might rival it. It looks beautiful it’s heavy. It’S made of 3D printing, there’s metal, there’s woodwork, I mean it. It literally looks like a real Vault, so whatever Jesse did to make this look this way I mean he just worked extra hard. I left his link below if you guys want to check out his puzzles.
I don’t think there’s any of these left, but you might want to subscribe to his newsletter. He only made 500 of these, and this is five of 500
This is Jesse James’s Vault, where he keeps his treasure after robbing a train, so we’re gon na try to break in guys cowgirls Cowboys leave a like subscribe, well howdy partner. This is Jesse James’s vault in which he stored his treasure, hoping no one else would find it. Jesse born has created some incredible puzzles recently, including the Sundial puzzle, which we solved a couple weeks back honestly, Jesse born is probably like the most prolific puzzle Creator. Right now I mean the quality of the puzzles he’s putting out is insane.
This thing is heavy uh. You got some 3D prints. You got some metal, you got some wood, it looks awesome, so we got it all right. Let’S take a look at all sides. Let’S see what we can figure out, we got a train here in two panels on this side.
Here we have a dial. We have letters here, going from A to Z and numbers, seemingly random, going all the way around here. Here we have a picture of a boat. What looks like a gambling riverboat and on the front, we have the Lost Vault with a combination lock here and a small handle right here, nothing on the bottom and nothing on the top, and that’s all we’re given and that’s all we’re given. Okay, there’s something’s got to give here.
I’M guessing these panels come off. This one does seem a little bit loose, but no real way to get it off. Then we have this. Oh the top panel here slides, so this panel does come off. Keep being reminded of that song Something’s Got to Give Something’s Got to Give Oh” definitely slides like this way here, but it’s just being stopped by something.
I don’t know what exactly quite yet. I love this. I love when the first step is the hardest and after that, hopefully everything falls into place, but I love when the first step is just you’re left with this impossible object. Ah, this is incredible. I’m 100% stuck right now.
Yeah this panel here seems a little loose. I don’t know if the sound that I’m hearing on the inside of this has to do with some type of mechanism or if it’s just loot, that’s buried inside wiggling around slides. This way, oh this bar here twist, These Bars only the ones in the middle. Thank you. First Step done. I had to pull this bar down twist.
It pulled it down and now I can open this part, and this part – and here we go – we got a bullet case. It’S got a paper inside saying how cool I’ll just come out all the way. How cool is that these details are insane all right, so it’s got a little paper in here. I love that it’s in a bullet case behind the mask is a hidden face under the Palm is a stolen dot dot behind the mask is a hidden face under the Palm is a stolen dot dot dot behind the mask is a face. Let me check the other bars out to make sure they’re not wiggling around.
No, nothing, oh wait! This one does slightly behind the mask, is a hidden face, hidden face a hidden face behind the mask is a hidden face. Where is there a mask behind the mask? His hidden face under the Palm is a stolen Dot. What does that mean these two here kind of spin around, but it takes a little amount of force, so I’m wondering if that’s not just the way they were made here.
Oh never mind that just went into the hole so did that one! That’S two down three down! One left here wondering if I could just grab what’s inside here. Ah this one will come down yeah, okay, that one’s stuck! Oh!
No! I ripped it got a piece of paper here, the city time February, 2nd 1874
James’ boys strike Little Rock Express, getting five Master Outlaws behind the mask right. Remember that behind the five mass Atlas escapes twenty two thousand dollars, no passenger injured, no passengers injured Posse gives up Chase Monday January 31st, Little Rock Express was ambushed by a gang of massed Outlaws as the train entered Gads Hill at about three o’clock in the afternoon. The five Bandits pried open the railway switches, forcing the train to stop on the side track as it entered the station. All the passengers were lined up outside the cars and The Highwaymen, boldly commanded and shifted and sifted through their valuables, while a pair of men entered the express car to rummage through mail and packages in the safe, several gold buyers.
A number of letters and several thick packages were stolen, passengers claim. One of these was a packet containing the last month’s Fuller Creek line payroll. Once the bandits had satisfied themselves that they had taken everything of value, they stole a number of fresh horses from the town residents and escaped while the railroad men were closing the switches. The nearby towns organized a posse of 20 25 Horsemen to track the bandits. But after trailing, the gang to search was given up believing that the gang was headed for Saint Clair County.
Although the Outlaws wore masks and did not call each other by name. It is strongly believed that the robbery was the work of James Brothers, accompanied by three of the younger Witnesses, accompanied by three of the younger witnesses claim that one of the men had a missing fingertip which almost positively identifies him as gang leader, Jesse James. If true, it gives the pinkertons one more failure of their promise to catch the gank before any robberies are accomplished. So there’s so many different times behind the mask. Efforts have been plagued by intentions and rumors since he first announced it at five o’clock this morning.
A fire was discovered in the City Bank building on West Blackwater Street. The Flames had already taken a deep hole to the building and were beginning to spread at the time of Discovery. I’M kind of cheesed that I didn’t get this bar down. Okay behind the mask, is a hidden face. Like a clock face, so what?
If you like, Because they said here at 3 P.M, right at three o’clock they entered Gads Hill at about three o’clock. There’S also this you can’t see in there, but there is a. Let me grab my phone.
There is what seems to be almost like the inside of a gun barrel, which I can turn here it is. It is a gun barrel, like a six shooter gun barrel type thing three o’clock: is there a three o’clock here? These numbers go up to like 54
What does that mean behind the mask is a hidden face under the Palm? Is a stolen behind the mask a hidden face under the Palm? Is it stolen?
Am I supposed to finish the rhyme and the Palms are still an ace behind the mask? If a hidden face under the Palm is a stolen Ace or place Ace or place under the Palm is a stolen Ace. I mean it has to be ace. Oh there’s, a small Arrow right by this number here, 40
A c e, 40, 54. 5.
Fifty four five to the other way: oh wait! It did get stuck there. What was that? Just because I did this, yeah, I felt something move here. 40, Ace.
40. 54. 5. I mean that’s got to be it. Maybe I’m on the wrong path here, maybe Chase.
That’S too many letters is it hidden Chase. It’S got to be hidden, Ace right, AC, oh, what, if hold on, because there’s this arrow and then there’s an arrow on the 40. There’s an arrow here. It’S hard to see, there’s an error on the a so. What, if I turn this to here, would give me 32
So be 40 32 and 0 40 32 0.
Which side do we start at 40. 32-0. I’M bad with combinations. 40. 32.
Zero, oh get the hell out of here. Ah there’s a drawer: we got a deck of cards here and we got like that like. I was saying that six shooters in the drawer didn’t come out. The drawer stuck to the Jesse born limited edition, five 500. Look at how intricate this is.
How cool is that come on dude? That is the sickest thing that is so cool. What’S the next clue the bullet sees, maybe the bullet has a magnet on the inside or something that I can, because it kind of fits perfectly into that. As you can see, there does not seem to be a magnet anywhere. How am I supposed to get that out unless this whole side comes off, because that is completely stuck in there dude?
This is like the sickest little Vault ever plus. It’S got a spot for a deck of cards. You’Ve definitely won me over with this puzzle. Oh, my God, this is insane okay, this bullet’s got to do something. There’S got to be a magnet here somewhere, it is not magnetic.
I don’t understand how this deck comes out, unless this whole part shifts out to the side. Here I’m thinking this panel comes off and maybe that’s all shifts. Oh there’s a seam right here. Actually, oh there we go there. We go.
That was easy. We’ve got a deck of cards. I actually love this deck. I have this deck and I like it – a lot grab it here. Hopefully we can get it without destroying it.
There we go. This is a really really sick, deck provision playing cards or by Theory, 11
I’M guessing the next part of the riddle is here, since it has been cut open. Look at how cool we get to unbox a deck of cards during a puzzle, video, nothing in the box. Oh interesting, wait! A second thought.
It was like a rough and smooth deck for a second, because some of the cards were all stuck together. So what are we looking for? Maybe some of it’s out of order. Thirteen two three two one everything’s in order um, it did say ace before so maybe we’re looking at the aces. The deck seems normal.
It has nothing to do with the cards, doesn’t seem to be anything on the box either. So it definitely has to do with the cards in the next riddle. We have to solve deals with the uh that six shooter Barrel, just looking at the back of the cards for any inconsistencies. Why? What is it about this deck they’re?
Not out of order they’re? In perfect order brand new order dented here, but I guess that’s from the box where it was uh where it was hidden holding it up to the light. Maybe some type of hopsin’s organic. There’s something up with these cards, though, because they are a little bit warped. I don’t know they’re like thicker, I’m really I’m incredibly stumped here. I don’t know if there is a spade here right now, so I’m guessing. Maybe I have to use the cards some.
Oh look at that. Look at that that is so sick out above the Spade, there is a line that goes all the way here, and I wouldn’t have noticed this if the Notch didn’t continue into the side here. If that was just like that, there’s no way I would have ever noticed that, but because of that, no way it and and here’s the thing Jessie’s so brilliant that he knew that if he didn’t add that extra Notch, we wouldn’t have seen it because of that card. Indeed fits in there without that Notch check that out it fits in there without that Notch, so he knew he had to make that visible. That was the next clue how brilliant oh, what the hell hold on here.
We have a key – and we have this here. Little Rock Express line a ticket number 1367 January, the 31st 1874 – that was the Train Robbery good for one first class fare via Little Rock Express railway lines within 24 hours of the marked date within 24 hours, Hendrickson gads Hill Arcadia. So there’s something on here that we need and we have a key now, anything special about the key. The key is just a regular key. It looks like I’m testing for magnets.
It is non-magnetic, where do we put the key man? I am guys if you haven’t left a like already. You should probably leave it like this if this deserves some type of like right. Like I mean how fun is this I’m having such a good time dude? This is the greatest puzzle.
Okay, we’re there. No, is this thing? Okay, the only thing we have left is this little six shooter Barrel, and this somehow does something, I’m not sure. Yet what and I’m not sure if it was just to contain those bars to drop down or what? But, however, there is a train on here.
There is a train on here. Oh no! That’S! Where dude? How clever is that that’s the foot that went in there?
I thought – oh, maybe a keyhole, but that’s just where the foot went. Have a look here. I don’t know if you’ll be able to see this. I’ve got my flashlight out, the one that’s on the bottom right isn’t like the others, there’s like a small slight discrepancy in color. My guess is that that sir, is where the bullet goes.
Look how deep it is! Look now, it’s now, it’s there, okay. What does that do? What does that do? Okay, that bullet goes in a lot deeper over there.
Let me try to wiggle it around to see what happens. Oh, I can twist it, listen. What does that mean? Do okay, there’s some type of mechanism here you guys you guys can hear that. What does that mean?
Do I pull it snaps back? What is that? What’s happening? Wait? Why is that twisting? Oh there’s a notch in the bullet, the bullet’s, a tool there’s a small notch.
Oh wow, oh it lifts up here. Oh my god, dude. This is so Jesse. This is amazing. I am flabbergasted at the moment this is incredible.
Get out of town! Look at this! We’ve got a gold bar dude. I am in shock right now. This is this.
If this is unbelievable, look at what we’ve uncovered and everything just kind of fell together beautifully one step after another, just dude. I am. This is a fantastic dude you’ve really outdone yourself on this puzzle, Jessica man for those of you out there wondering hey. How do we get his puzzles? Obviously, I’ve left the link below, but uh.
You guys should act quick when his stuff comes out, because this is some of the best puzzles. Work. I’ve seen an incredibly great job that we found the gold all right. Let’S put all of this back together, starting with the gold bar. I like this because the reset doesn’t seem too difficult, and this is such an amazing piece.
Oh, my goodness, all right, so first this thing I need the bullet as the key. The bullet is a key dude. The feeling of solving something like this is undescribable. I cannot describe it to you so that goes there. Let me lock that up.
This comes back down and here goes the key and the train ticket, and that is now locked in there, which is very, very cool, we’ll get the cards back in there as well. Clever man, I’m still in awe of the boom that goes back there. The foot is now beautiful, we’ll get this letter in there. The bullet was here. Look at how cool the placement for the bullet is.
I mean there are no words: oh wait. The letter goes to the bullet and that’s it and then these guys, I’m not sure. If I was supposed to pull these down because there’s one that didn’t pull down, but I’m I wouldn’t have gotten that note otherwise, so I guess so guys. Let me know what you thought of the Lost Fault by Jesse born. It’s kind of insane that this is one of the last puzzles I’ll be doing in 2022, and this, I think, is my favorite puzzle of the entire year. This is it rivaled only.
