Visit Vault 33 NOW! is an interactive promotional site for the Fallout TV series hosted on Amazon.com, released alongside the show on April 10, 2024. A direct link to the site is here, though it can be also accessed from the Amazon page for Fallout Season 1.
Overview[]
The site features an interactive tour of parts of Vault 33. Upon entering the site, the first room shown is a Vault residence, while a green button in the bottom right corner leads out into a Vault hallway with a door at the end numbered 728 and marked "EXIT TO WASTELAND." Prior to April 18th, 2024, clicking on this door would only play a video teasing more to come and returning to the hallway screen. After April 18th, a new section was added to the site; using the door leads into the wasteland, with a video showing Lucy traveling to Filly. From here, another gear button on the side leads into a screen for Ma June's Sundries. A dropdown menu was also added to the top left corner to navigate between all the screens.
Many items seen in these screens are interactable, and will reveal text boxes, images, and/or videos. Most, but not all, of the interactable objects are highlighted in green on mouseover; those that are not highlighted will be marked as interactable by the cursor becoming full green instead of transparent green.
In the top right corner, the site contains links to a catalog of McFarlane action figures of the Fallout protagonists via the "Equip the Vault" button, as well as another button under it labeled "Win 200 years of free stuff" linking to a description of Amazon Prime's promotional Fallout prize giveaways.
The site also features four songs that can be played on repeat:
- "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" by The Ink Spots
- "America the Beautiful" by the United States Navy Band
- "The Stars and Stripes Forever" by the U.S. Marine Corps Band
- "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the U.S. Army Band
Of the interactables, a notable object is a terminal in the residence that, when interacted with, displays a maintenance screen marked with a countdown of "[X] Days," beginning at 7. This countdown has since concluded as of April 17, 2024, with the terminal instead displaying a "rebuilding database" screen with the progress at 30% (as of April 18th).

The Great War[]
The Great War
Item 1 of 17; interact with the Cram poster in the residence.
Global thermonuclear war both began and ended in the span of about two hours on Saturday, October 23, 2077. Billions died, world governments and economies collapsed into non-existence, and the climate was ravaged leading to permanent changes to the global ecosystem according to our readings. It is the duty of those of us in Vaults to keep the hope of a future alive. Because once the surface is safe to repopulate, we need Americans just like you to build a better world.
Life in Vault 33[]
Life in Vault 33
Item 2 of 17; interact with the Jack-O'-Lantern near the corner of the television in the residence.
There’s so much to do in Vault 33, you’ll never be bored! From watching movies and reading books to playing foosball and card games, there’s plenty to keep you occupied when you’re not working. And if you’re the type you likes to keep active, you can join some of our exciting clubs like gymnastics, fencing, Phys. Ed., and even the Young Piker’s
Association. Whatever your interests, you can find them here in Vault 33!
Vault-Tec Corporation[]
Vault-Tec Corporation
Item 3 of 17; interact with the painting above the terminal in the residence.
Vault-Tec was a nuclear defense corporation focused on revolutionizing safety for an uncertain future. The company successfully won the federal contracts to create a national network of large nuclear fallout bunkers, which they called Vaults. It’s through this program our Vaults—31, 32, and 33—were built!
Overseers[]
Overseers
Item 4 of 17; interact with the painting above the terminal in the residence.
Overseers are the great people who lead our Vaults, and their leadership helps us keep the candle of civilization lit! We choose overseers through free and fair elections. Our current overseer, Hank MacLean, has served Vault 33 with kindness, intelligence, and wisdom.
Reclamation Day[]
Reclamation Day
Item 5 of 17; interact with the door button next to the exit door in the hallway.
Once the surface is finally habitable enough for repopulation, Vaults 31, 32, and 33 will finally open their doors, and our fine citizens will emerge to rebuild a better world. It’s up to us to shine a light on the dark, whatever may await us out there…
Vault Boy[]
Vault Boy
Item 6 of 17; interact with the Vault Boy figurine on the ground in the hallway.
Every corporation needs iconography, and smart corporations give a smiling face to their brand. Nuka-Cola had Nuka-Girl, and Vault-Tec has Vault Boy. Vault Boy’s smiling face appeared in everything from advertisements to training materials and even holotape games. Voted “world’s sexiest man” in 2077, Vault Boy’s strong back helped to lift Vault-Tec's public perception high into favorability prior to the Great War.
Vault Agriculture[]
Vault Agriculture
Item 7 of 17; interact with the Yum Yum Deviled Eggs painting on the desk submenu in the residence.
All our Vaults feature their own robust agricultural systems, some complete with artificial sun cycles. They each grow specific crops, and trade triannually to support each other and to ensure the vault dwellers are breeding from separate gene pools.
Nuka-Cola[]
Nuka-Cola
Item 8 of 17; interact with the Nuka-Cola bottle sign in Downtown Filly.
The Nuka-Cola Corporation was the largest beverage company in the United States prior to the Great War. Their flagship product Nuka-Cola became an American icon and one of the most recognizable drinks in the world. Its popularity persists today, as it remains one the most beloved beverages across the Wasteland.
Radroaches[]
Radroaches
Item 9 of 17; interact with the radroach sign in Downtown Filly.
Before the Great War people joked cockroaches would be one of the only things to survive a nuclear blast. Turns out they didn’t just survive — they thrived. Enlarged thoraxes to ward off attack, extended anteenae to enhance communication for hunting in packs, incisors to help ingest larger prey. The only good radroach is a cooked radroach. Eat them, before they eat you!
Chems[]
Chems
Item 10 of 17; interact with the green drugs sign in Downtown Filly.
Drugs. Medicine. Narcotics. Stimulants. Painkillers. Miracle cures. What would life in the wasteland be without the magical world of chems? From stimpaks and RadAway to help you heal, to Buffout and Psycho to help you fight, and all the wonderful pharmaceutical aids and enhancements in between, life is better with chems. Just watch out for those side effects!
Wasteland Delicacies[]
Wasteland Delicacies
Item 11 of 17; interact with the trailer above the pharmacy in Downtown Filly.
When the climate was forever altered by the Great War, life found a way. And that way was mutation. Radroaches, mole rats, giant ants, and brahmin (two-headed cattle) are the new chickens, pigs, turkeys, and cows when it comes to organic protein. Yum yum!
Cram[]
Cram
Item 12 of 17; interact with the metal boxes in the right side in the entrance part of Ma June's shop.
Don’t buy it for the taste. Buy it because IT KEEPS! ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Heavy Water, Salt, Pork By-Products.
On the Radio[]
On the Radio
Item 13 of 17; interact with the radio in the entrance part of Ma June's shop.
Few folks outside a Vault have access to a record player, let alone any vinyl that’ll actually play. So most wastelanders get their tunes — and their news — from the radio. There were plenty of radio stations with functioning antennas still standing after the War, so just about everywhere you go there’s some local broadcasters spinning their favorite tunes. No matter your tastes, you’ll likely find a station for you. Even if you’re one of those weirdos that listens to KPSS.
Traders and Caravans[]
Traders and Caravans
Item 14 of 17; interact with the glass jar of wood blocks in the entrance part of Ma June's shop.
Every town has traders, or at the least a caravan that comes through on the regular. Not even the Great War could stop commerce. Whether you need a new gun, some ammo, a few cans of Cram, or a new Vault Boy bobblehead to decorate your abode, you’re bound to find what you need — provided you have the caps.
Stimpaks[]
Stimpaks
Item 15 of 17; interact with the wooden box in the interior part of Ma June's shop.
Stimpaks are one of the great marvels of pre-War science. These pre-dosed syringes are loaded with a cocktail of stimulants and healing agents designed to boost your body’s natural healing abilities, often leading to a near instantaneous mending of wounds. They’re a miracle, but they aren’t cheap.
Caps[]
Caps
Item 16 of 17; interact with the red toy car in the display case in the interior part of Ma June's shop.
Forget the NCR dollar — caps are the only currency guaranteed to spend everywhere you go. Nothing beats the jingle jangle of a pocket full of caps. Just don’t let those pockets jingle too loud, or you just might find yourself losing all those precious caps to someone who won’t think twice about putting a bullet in your brain to get ‘em.
Hygiene[]
Hygiene
Item 17 of 17; interact with the Mister Handy poster in the interior part of Ma June's shop.
Most folks these days don’t have the benefit of a Mister Handy to keep their place clean, and even things folks used to take for granted before the War — like clean running water — aren’t too common. If you’re lucky, you’ll find yourself in a town with a dentist or a barber or a doctor… or maybe even someone who’s all three! And hey, if you find yourself strapped for caps, you can always sell some teeth. No one needs a whole mouthful of ‘em anyway!
Notes[]
- On this site, the inter-Vault trading and marriages between Vaults 31, 32, and 33 are referred to as tri-annual (i.e. three times per year). However, all text in the show refers to this as a Triennial Trade (i.e. once per three years). The latter definition is more likely to be correct given the context of Vault 33 being apparently unaware that Vault 32 had failed two years before the start of the show.
- On the site, and elsewhere on the Amazon Fallout page, Lucy and Steph are said to belong to the "Young Piker's Association." This is possibly a erroneous transcription of the "Young Pipefitter's Association" which Lucy talks about (and is seen working in alongside Steph) in "The End."
- The terminal is a Wang Computer 2246-C, the same model used in the show. However, in the show, the Wang logo is covered up with a RobCo logo. This is absent in the website, being simply a Wang computer, with a RobCo operating system. This was most likely an oversight from the website developers.
