Lock & Kee: A Halloween Event

This Halloween season, step aboard the historic SS Keewatin for a thrilling evening of mystery, puzzles and supernatural suspense at the Great Lakes Museum.

You arrive expecting a night of history and exploration aboard one of Kingston’s most remarkable maritime attractions. As the daylight fades, however, something sinister begins to awaken. A mysterious curse has swept through the ship, transforming its passageways, cabins and shadowy corners into a maze of secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Now trapped aboard the vessel, you and your team must work together to discover what happened to the crew and find a way to break the curse. Search for hidden clues, solve challenging puzzles and follow the trail through the ship before time runs out. Every answer could move you closer to safety—but every wrong turn may draw you deeper into the mystery.

Lock & Kee combines the excitement of an escape-room challenge with the unforgettable atmosphere of a historic passenger steamship. Instead of completing puzzles inside an ordinary room, participants will become part of an immersive Halloween adventure staged aboard the SS Keewatin. Its historic surroundings provide the perfect setting for an evening filled with secrets, teamwork and just the right amount of fright.

Gather your cleverest friends, bring your strongest problem-solving skills and prepare to explore the ship after dark. You will need to communicate, think creatively and pay attention to every detail if you hope to uncover the truth and escape the curse.

Will your team solve the mystery and make it safely off the ship—or will the SS Keewatin claim another crew?

There is only one way to find out. Step aboard for a Halloween experience where Kingston’s maritime history takes a chilling and imaginative turn.
