Who are we?
We are a family-run team of hardcore escape room enthusiasts, with experience from over 150 escape rooms around the world.
Ever since we played our very first escape room in early 2016, we knew we wanted to open one of our own.
From that moment on, we traveled, played, and carefully noted everything we loved and everything we didn’t about escape rooms: from game design and gameplay to customer experience and service.
Those notes slowly turned into plans, and in October 2017, the idea for "Kidnapped" was born.
In January 2018, while still working full-time elsewhere, we began building "Kidnapped" from the ground up. Along the way, we learned new skills every single day - from building drywall, laying tiles, fitting carpets, and installing door frames, to designing and setting up the technical systems behind the games.
As a result, everything you see and experience in our escape rooms is 100% original, designed in our own minds and built by our own hands.
Why do we focus mainly on horror and thriller themes?
Because we believe escape rooms should be about tension, adrenaline, and the raw thrill of trying to escape the situation you’re thrown into. There were already plenty of detective-style adventures on the market, and we wanted to bring something completely different to the Croatian escape room scene.
Our approach paid off quickly—we rose fast and became the number one escape room on TripAdvisor praised highly by all our players.
Encouraged by the growing interest in our work, we keep pushing ourselves to create new adventures, new themes, and new challenges every opportunity we get.
Today, we’re proud to offer 10 games across 4 different locations in Zagreb.
We hope you have as much fun playing our escape rooms, as we did creating them for you!
The Old Lock Up team :)
