Local tips

Book your room in advance for weekend and evening slots, as each theme can host only one group at a time and prime times fill quickly.
Check the description and difficulty of each room before choosing; horror-themed games like The Undead or Jigsaw may be intense for younger players.
Arrive 10–15 minutes early so you can complete the briefing calmly; late arrival might shorten your game to keep schedules on track.
Wear comfortable casual clothes and flat shoes, as you will be searching, crouching and moving around compact themed spaces.
Decide how often you want hints before you start; agreeing on a strategy as a team helps keep the game flowing and the tension enjoyable.

Getting There

Train plus short walk

From Herning Station, most regional trains from Aarhus, Viborg and Skjern arrive at least once an hour in daytime. The escape room is roughly 1 km from the station, reached on foot in about 10–15 minutes on flat pavements that are suitable for most visitors, including those with strollers. A standard second‑class ticket from Aarhus to Herning typically costs around 120–180 DKK one way if bought close to departure, with lower fares available in advance.
Local bus within Herning

City buses connect residential districts with central Herning and the area around Godsbanevej in about 10–20 minutes, depending on starting point and traffic. Services usually run every 20–30 minutes on weekdays with reduced frequency in evenings and on Sundays. A single adult ticket within the Herning urban zone generally costs about 20–30 DKK and can be bought via ticket machines, apps or directly from the driver with contactless payment.
Car or taxi from nearby towns

Arriving by car from regional towns such as Ikast or Holstebro typically takes 20–35 minutes along well-maintained roads. Parking options are usually available in the streets and public lots around Godsbanevej, though spaces can be busier on weekend evenings and during major events in Herning. A taxi from Herning Station to the venue takes around 5–10 minutes depending on traffic and usually costs in the region of 80–140 DKK for the vehicle, making it convenient for small groups sharing the fare.

Immersive escape adventures in the heart of Herning

Locked – Escape Room Herning sits in an industrial-style building on Godsbanevej, a short distance from Herning’s central streets, but once the door closes behind you the outside world disappears. Inside, a series of compact, purpose-built game rooms each tell a different story, from creepy horror-laced scenarios to investigative crime scenes and classic jailbreaks. Lighting, sound and props are tuned to create a sense of urgency and atmosphere without ever losing the focus on puzzles and teamwork. In Herning, Locked offers a total of seven escape rooms spread across six themes, including The Undead, Crime Scene, Prison Break, Zodiac, Undercover and Jigsaw. Each room is designed for a set group size, typically two to six players, and sessions generally run for about an hour including briefing and debriefing. The concept is simple: once the game begins, it is up to your group to search, connect clues and unlock a chain of padlocks, secret compartments and hidden mechanisms before the countdown hits zero.

Stories, puzzles and just the right level of tension

What distinguishes Locked Herning is the blend of narrative and puzzle design. Rather than random riddles, clues are woven into the storyline of each scenario. A blood-spattered crime lab might hide a vital code in a forensic report; an eerie undead setting uses flickering lights, unsettling sounds and unexpected reveals to push your pulse a little higher. Horror-themed rooms such as The Undead and Jigsaw play with jump scares and dark ambience, while others like Crime Scene or Undercover favour detective-style deduction over frights. Despite the tension, the games are built to be accessible. Puzzles rely on observation, logic, pattern recognition and communication rather than specialist knowledge, and there is always a way to ask for a hint. Game masters monitor each session from outside and can send nudges via screens, speakers or walkie‑talkies if your group gets stuck. The result is a carefully managed balance: challenging enough to feel rewarding, but rarely so obscure that the experience stalls.

Social fun for friends, families and teams

Locked Herning welcomes a wide range of players, from couples testing their problem-solving chemistry to multi-generational families and corporate groups on structured teambuilding days. The set-up encourages everyone to contribute: children can be excellent at spotting hidden details, while adults tackle logic chains or combination locks. Several rooms can be run simultaneously, allowing larger groups to split into teams and compare escape times afterwards. The venue’s indoor setting makes it particularly appealing in Denmark’s changeable weather. On dark winter afternoons or rainy days, the warm reception area, pre-game briefing and post-game debrief offer a comfortable base. Staff explain safety rules and backstory before the door closes, and afterwards they walk through remaining puzzles, revealing clever mechanisms you may have missed in the rush. Between games, there is time to chat, take photos with themed props and plan which room to attempt next.

Practical details and planning your session

Opening hours in Herning usually concentrate on late afternoons and evenings during the week, with extended daytime slots on Fridays, weekends and school holidays. Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly for peak times such as Saturday evenings or public holidays, as each room can host only one group at a time. Games are normally available in Danish, and many rooms can also be played in English, making the venue accessible to international visitors. Most scenarios are designed for adults and older children, often recommended from around age 12 when accompanied by adults, with horror rooms better suited to teenagers and grown-ups who enjoy a scare. Comfortable casual clothing is ideal, as you may spend time kneeling, searching or moving around confined spaces, though the experience is not physically strenuous. Prices are charged per group or per person depending on session size, with the cost dropping slightly for larger teams, and the experience consistently offers good value for an hour of concentrated, cooperative fun.

Part of Denmark’s growing escape room scene

Locked Herning is one branch of a broader Danish escape game brand that operates multiple locations across the country. Herning’s site focuses on indoor escape rooms, but sits within a wider portfolio that also includes outdoor puzzle trails and corporate teambuilding concepts. This connection brings a certain polish: puzzles draw on experience from dozens of rooms, and themes are refreshed or refined over time to keep returning players on their toes. For visitors exploring Herning and the surrounding Jutland region, the venue adds a distinctly modern contrast to museums, cultural venues and coastal landscapes. Whether you are rounding off a conference day at the nearby exhibition center or breaking up a family road trip with something memorable and interactive, Locked – Escape Room Herning offers a tightly designed hour where everyday concerns disappear and the only thing that matters is the next code, the next key and the shared thrill of a well-timed escape.
