The Fallout universe is full of details and intrigue and in one of the series’ chapters we can see a Vault-Tech number that can be called for more information.
In a move that cleverly combines mystery and nostalgia, the Fallout TV show on Prime Video has introduced a fan-freaking feature: a functioning Vault-Tech phone number. This list is not only for those who love Bethesda games, but also an invitation to participate in the post-apocalyptic universe of Fault like never before.
In the sixth episode of the series, in Cooper Howard’s (played by Walter Goggins) intelligence room, this number is revealed. Howard encourages spectators to call to reserve their spot at the popular shelters. In the show, what seemed like a trivial matter has become a direct line to explore hidden mysteries, dubbed “Easter Eggs” by fans.
More than one surprising number
Those brave enough to call 213-25-VAULT (213-258-2858) or its international version for UK residents (001-213-258-2858) have had mixed experiences. Those who select the call are treated to a proper voice reception: heartbreaking screams and sounds of agony fill the receiver until the call is abruptly cut off. Messaging, on the other hand, was a calmer, more corporate response from Volt-Tech, promising to be in touch in the future and congratulating them on signing up for their relationship.
Simple trick or hidden ad?
Curiosity doesn’t stop at the call or the message. Fans have begun to theorize about the hidden meaning behind these exchanges. Especially the mention of the “slot” coming at 33 weeks has caused much speculation. Could it be related to the enigmatic Vault 33, or could it simply be a hint about the announcement coming 33 weeks later in November?
This marketing tactic, which mixes the elements of the game with the narrative of the series, not only revived interest in the video game saga, but also increased the anticipation for the next chapters of the series. Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 76 are all enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to the series, proving that Fallout’s apocalyptic world is fertile ground to explore on both consoles and the small screen.
An Easter egg that has just begun
This phone number has achieved more than simple interactions; It has created a community of theorists and enthusiasts who eagerly await each new episode. Meanwhile, the series continues to delve deeper into Fallout lore, exploring themes of survival, technology, and humanity in a world it sees as evil. So, while fans await future revelations, they have a whole world to explore, both on and off screen.
