The Lock Museum of America holds the key to a good time, including a fascinating collection of locks, safes, handcuffs, and ornate doorknobs from the Victorian era. Learn about the 4,000-year-old Egyptian lock, a treasure chest from the Spanish Armada, and a cannonball safe that weighs over one ton.

What better venue to have an escape room? The Lock Museum Adventure takes place within the museum itself, surrounded by thousands of antique locks, keys, and items related to locks and lock making. Solve the room’s mysteries using puzzles, riddles, and codes to crack locks and antique safes, and hopefully, escape.
