Despite high cost locked manhattan was well worth the money. I completed the witching hour room and it was very fun with lots of different puzzles.

Locked is a great experience. The minds behind the puzzles and interactions in the rooms are mind blowing. I have tried 3 different rooms there and walked away very impressed. They perfectly capture the look and feel of each story in every room that makes the experiences stand out from a lot of other escape rooms. The staff is also very friendly and helpful if you need it.
Seriously, dont snooze on Locked. You are in for a challenge and will have fun doing it! Escape room veterans and first timers will have a great time.

We have done several different escape rooms. This one is not put together well. It felt very cheaply made compared to others we've done and the components did not work correctly. We won't be back.

I've done dozens of escape rooms in different places around the country and Locked holds its own. Pricing is comparable to other escape rooms. Variety of puzzles and methods used in the different rooms. Done all the rooms and love them all. Can't wait for the new one! If you haven't done an escape room, I'd recommend mostly adults. Appropriate for teenagers. Younger kids would probably be confused and bored. Tons of fun and something different to do with friends and family!

This was FUN fun! The experience was engaging and clever. It took all of us working together and we made it out with only 12 seconds left. Talk about intense. 10 out of 10 will go back again and again. New favorite.
