The Vault

The Architect Unravel secrets in the lost office of H.P. Berlage in The Architect escape room in Amsterdam. Are you brave enough to solve a century-old mystery? 60 minutes of mysteries await...

‍The Vault is not just an escape room, but an immersive 'break-in' experience set in the real safe deposit complex of the old Amsterdam Stock Exchange building. Due to its unique concept, The Vault is usually seen as slightly more challenging than The Architect. Playing time: ±80 minutes.

‍The Alchemist is a 90 minute 'magical' escape room and our latest addition to Sherlocked. It's won many awards, and has been incredibly well received by both escape room enthusiasts and first time players alike.

If your team consists of 20 people or more, we offer our large group game Time Crimes.

Unfortunately our location is not wheelchair accessible. All our Amsterdam escape rooms are located in the Beurs van Berlage which is a historic building and not well equipped to accommodate wheelchair users.

No, we only take paid bookings via our website. This makes our system faster and more transparent!

We recommend travelling with public transport! The city centre is notoriously hard to reach by car (so you could be delayed), and parking is expensive. It's a short walk from Central Station, and there are many public transport stops nearby.

There is a large and free underground bicycle parking just outside, under the Beursplein.

If you do decide to travel by car, have a look at the P+R options in Amsterdam.

PLEASE NOTE: All of our games take place in the same building, but the starting points are different. Refer to your player instructions / booking information for exact instructions!

The Vault: Start at Q-Park Bijenkorf (you will receive instructions at location)
The Architect: Damrak 247 (Ring the bell!)
The Alchemist: Beursplein 1 (As soon as you enter, possibly through the bistro, walk towards the toilets and gather in the lobby at the door in front of the toilets.)

Yes! Terms and Conditions and Privacy Statement.

Up to 48 hours before your game, it is free to cancel or move your booking. We can refund you, or give you a voucher to make a new booking. If you cancel between 48 and 24 hours before your game, we refund 50%. Less than 24 hours before starting time, refunds are not possible. For cancellations, email hello@sherlocked.nl

‍It is only possible to receive a refund for the change in the number of players if you inform us via email before the game.

Sherlocked retains the right to cancel or change any appointment up to 24 hours before the booking. In case Sherlocked has to cancel (with the exception of force majeure) the full amount will be refunded within 30 days.

Yes! On weekdays, all our Amsterdam escape rooms start every two hours. Each room has a different time limit: The Architect is 60 minutes, The Vault is 80 minutes, and The Alchemist is 90 minutes.Because of this, some players might finish before others. But don’t worry! While you wait for your teammates, enjoy a drink at  Bistro Berlage, in the same building.

‍*Starting times or The Alchemist are not synchronized on weekends

Here's how many minds can unite in solving mysteries together:

• The Architect: Up to 6 players

Absolutely. Perhaps they will be the smartest player on your team...

Players aged 14 years or younger should have a chaperone aged 16 or older. Please note that some of our puzzles can bequite tricky, so we do recommend some adult insight.

Sorry, but no. We cannot change starting times of our games due since each experience requires preparations and run with a carefully orchestrated "game plan".

Not even a little. We need you at your sharpest, and also, the rooms are over 100 years old and not tipsy-proof. We're pretty stern about this actually and our hosts will refuse or remove a player from the game if they feel they're intoxicated or disrupting the game flow.

Yes, we offer digital gift cards for gifting to your friends. We have two kinds: 
- Our 'Variable Amount' Cards have certain value and remain valid for 5 years.
- Using our 'Escape room' Gift Cards, you can gift a complete experience. These are valid for two years.
The voucher code be entered in the booking process under 'Redeem voucher'.
Purchase them on the Gift Cards page.
Enjoy the gifting! 🎁

Yes, all our Amsterdam escape rooms are fully playable when pregnant. Please note:

• The Alchemist is located on the 2nd floor of our building, requiring a walk up 56 steps. The main space is briefly dark at the start, so extra caution is advised to avoid tripping.
• The Vault includes one moment where one or two members of the team need to do some minor physical manoeuvres, which you can choose not to volunteer for.
  

There is no climbing or crawling required, and there are no jump scares during the experiences. If you have any specific concerns, feel free to reach out to our team before your visit.
