About
Locked Manhattan is the first escape room adventure in Manhattan, Kansas. We are focused on providing an unforgettable adventure for all 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. The idea behind escape room games is that you and your friends are locked in a room which is filled with puzzles that will lead to your hopeful escape. You have one hour to investigate the room, piece together clues, and solve puzzles in order to find your way out. Escape rooms have grown in popularity worldwide and we are proud to bring Locked Manhattan to the downtown area. If you have questions about escape room games or our escape rooms in Manhattan, Kansas please refer to our FAQ page or contact us. Locked Manhattan was created by Rebecca Ober after working in San Francisco and returning to Manhattan with puzzles on her minds.

- Kara L1 contributionSo much fun!I was a little hesitant about trying this, but had so much fun! We ended up going back the next night to try a different room and both were spectacular (Dinner Party and The Witching Hour). Thomas was an absolutely amazing guide and we were thrilled to have him help us for both rooms. It is clear that he cares a lot about his job and the customers. I hope we get to have him as a guide in the future!!!Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 1, 2024

Josh was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, professional and flexible. He managed three escape rooms at the same time and did an incredible job! Our CSI class LOVED it and all investigators made gallant efforts toward their escape with one team mastering all codes within the allotted time frame. Definitely one of the highlights of our week! Thank you for partnering with us! We ALL look forward to our next opportunity to visit. We also shared the 15% off coupon for the month of June found inside the Manhattan magazine.

Excellent night out for something different to do! We had 4 couples, and I was the only one who had ever done an escape room before. It's hard to describe to those who haven't done one before what it's like. Other in my group were honestly not super excited about it but everyone ended up having a great time! We want to go back and try more rooms. We were just 2 or 3 minutes from escaping. Lol! 8 people ended up costing $50 per couple - some might think that is too much, but honestly, it was something to do, it got us out of the house, we got to spend time together, and something new most had never done before. (The only bad part - the bathroom was in strong need of a major cleaning - yikes!)

Our family has been challenged by numerous Escape Rooms, from coast to coast! Our son, who now lives in Manhattan, Kansas, suggested that we visit LOCKED! He loves to brag that he has escaped every room that he has attempted. I have to admit that 'Exit Strategy' was a very close call, and the Game Master was also very helpful! I probably wouldn't choose to do the Exit Strategy/Enter Sequence Room again. The same exact room is used for both experiences. This room is very simple but very complicated at the same time. Brain-power and persistence are how you escape. There aren't many clues lying around & no locks at all, which is very unusual for an escape room. There was also a technical malfunction near the end of the game, which messed up our mojo. We thoroughly enjoyed our LOCKED experience, but I definitely had a headache when I left!

I have several younger teens. This was a last minute decision for a family outing so I had to call in and book. When we went we quickly found that it was not gonna be as fun as anticipated. After the hr failure we were advised that the room we were stuck in had a 35% success rate. Further looking into it online all their rated rooms only have a 35% success rate.
My opinion this should had been told upfront and there should be different level of difficulties so younger people can actually have a chance to complete and enjoy the challenge. Now I feel I waisted alot of money to have my kids frustrated and not want to try it again. If 65% of people can't pass most of them then I don't think we are the only ones who feel this way.

Ok, this wasn't something I thought I'd like. I don't necessarily like puzzles that I cannot solve. We took two teams in from our staff and I had more fun than I ever thought possible. It helped that we were a bunch of "take charge" ladies, so everyone just gravitated to what they could accomplish best, but together, we made it out of the room. Our other team wasn't quite as lucky, but there were down a couple of people, last-minute. I'd highly recommend this as a team-building exercise for people working together. We had 5 people, which seemed to be perfect.

Our group is made up of escape room enthusiasts who have traveled all across Kansas to do them. We made the 2-hour drive out here to do 3 rooms back to back, and it was so much fun. They accommodated us perfectly, and Emily was so high-energy and amazing. I will definitely come back to finish off the rest of the rooms!

Our experience was truly an adventure. The escape room that we did (The Witching Hour) was challenging, but not so much that it felt hopeless. We had a great time and were within two steps of escaping the room, with only two of us working on it, so completion is definitely attainable. I would highly recommend Locked Manhattan!

Locked Manhattan always delivers. From inventive themes to clever puzzles, their rooms always surprise and delight. And their staff could not be any nicer. Stella, the game guide, and Jessica, one of the owners, have always been so sweet to me when booking and playing the games. My friends and I have driven out from KC three separate times to play their games and whenever we hear they are opening up another one, we make a point to head out and do it. A guaranteed hour of fun to be had!

We attended a locked event (Da Vinci) as a birthday celebration. Our family if 5 plus a friend was just the right number of guests. I was concerned about Covid exposure, so I called ahead and was pleased with the protocol.
Our group found this challenging and escaped with seconds to spare. It was great for team building. My only criticism would be that it would have been nice to have 90 minutes instead of sixty, particularly in light of the cost.

This is the second time I have visited this place. This time I chose to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday by having her invite 7 of her friends. They all loved it and couldn't stop talking about it at dinner we had afterwards. It's nice to have someplace that they couldn't use their phones. It was also great that it challenged them and had them all work together to complete it.

We had four people for the Witching Room, which I believe is designed for small group. We could have easily had 6 people in there. Once you figure out some clues, two more smaller rooms open up.
