Opened in 2016, What The Lock? Escape Rooms are the first live escape games in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.  Escape Room games are the hottest trend in interactive entertainment.  Your group, comprised of friends, family, or colleagues are sent into a room together.  Your objective is to solve riddles, uncover clues, and decipher codes in order to escape in time.  The game is designed to test your problem-solving skills with friends while racing against the clock.  

What The Lock? is a veteran owned, multi-award winning escape room facility. All themes and room designs are one of a kind - designed in house by our own highly skilled and experienced game designers and are not available anywhere else!  Both Vlad: The Third Letter and Orvellio’s Reconjured are TERPECA nominated as two of the best escape rooms in world for multiple years in a row, including 2023! (…YES… we said World!)

The owners of What The Lock? place a high value on being a responsible business that gives back to the community.  As such, they continually find new ways to give back and support the local community.

Themed rooms range in size from 2-10 participants, mostly designed for 6 players.  All games are 60 minutes.

Will you solve a cold case, retrieve a magical item, or go on a vampire hunt?
