About Locked.
Locked Manhattan is the first escape room adventure in Manhattan, Kansas. We are focused on providing an unforgettable adventure for all of our players.
Our escape rooms are intricately designed through countless hours of research and planning. We are thrilled to be able to present a challenging, fun, and unique form of entertainment to Downtown Manhattan.
In an escape room, you and your friends are tasked with finding all the hidden puzzles, riddles, and clues to lead to your escape in one hour. We do go over some rules and what to expect before getting you started so if you have any questions before your adventure, we are happy to answer them. Escape rooms have grown in popularity worldwide and we are proud to bring Locked Manhattan to the downtown area.

Zach
Co-Owner
“As a Manhattan native, I'm proud to continually bring unique entertainment experiences to my hometown through Locked. I specialize in hand-building each puzzle and room design. With a background in education and software development, I see puzzle-solving as an engaging form of learning and interacting with something you have never seen before. Each challenge in the rooms combines interactive design with hands-on problem-solving.”
It’s a joy to share these experiences with the community I grew up in.
