What is a Kids' Escape Room Party?

An escape room is a real-life adventure where kids solve puzzles together to complete a secret mission. It’s a mix of storytelling, exploration, and teamwork, making it an ideal indoor birthday party idea.
Our escape rooms are suitable for children aged 12 and above, and those under 14 need to be accompanied by at least one adult supervisor.

At Sherlocked, we aim to make the world a bit more magical.

13th Birthday family event
We did the vault for our daughters 13th birthday. This is a simply awesome must-do activity. By far the best atmospherics, interaction with the actors and fantastic location. It's for sure a challenge but we had great fun with our 11 and 13 year old kids. Lots of suspense along the way from the first moment! We'll be back soon for the architect.... YES!!!!

It was great.nkids were way ahead of their daddy.
We arrived a little late. The staff were super in getting us settled and started. Some of the kids had done other escape rooms before but said this was really well done. The place is really well done. It's really nice that they take a photo of you group after. Highly recommended. It's not cheap but it's value for money.

Me and my family (four of us) did the Architect. Ingenious. We'd never done an escape room before so didn't know what to expect, but (with a couple of nudges) we were a minute or two from finishing. Fantastic entertainment and I can't recommend it enough.

Wow! Must do escape room. We have done dozens as a family and this was so amazing! The details, the immersion, the game masters ..what a great experience. We did this as part of a family vacation to Europe or we'd be back to check out all the rooms.

Fun family time!
We were family of four and had a blast in the architect room. Everyone had something to do. It was a fun way to end our night while on vacation. We had many laughs (and arguments) and were able to solve it. Definitely check it out!
