What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Sherlocked is located at the Beurs van Berlage which is a five minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. You will find the entrance at the Beursplein, next to the café opposite to 'de Bijenkorf'. Make yourself known by ringing the bell. The host will pick you up at the door and, after greeting you, will guide you to a place where you can leave all jackets, bags, and valuables. All valuables as well as bags are left in containers which will be locked so don't worry about anything getting stolen. After storing your belongings the host will guide you to the catacombs of the Beurs van Berlage and will tell you the story about the Beurs van Berlage after which the challenge will start. We played The Architect, which was absolutely terrific. The room is decorated beautifully with the decor completely fitting the early 1900s style of the Beurs van Berlage. The puzzles and riddles are not too easy and have been thought out very well. Clues provide hints in a very cryptic manner causing one to really think twice. Opposed to other escape rooms puzzles and riddles are diverse requiring the players to use all their senses. Hints are provided through an old fashioned phone in the room. Puzzles aren't necessarily lineair meaning players can work simultaneously on solving different mysteries. We were with five, which felt like an ideal team size. Unfortunately we did not manage to escape within 60 minutes as we got stuck in the last fiveteen minutes despite being very very close. Escaping, however, isn't impossible within the hour, just be sure to stay calm, think clear and retrace the steps you've taken. According to the host 60% of the players manage to escape within the hour. Despite failing to escape we had the time of our lives. Playing Sherlocked is a great experience and I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a great activity with friends to play this game. We will definitely come back to play The Vault! I think Sherlocked really lives up to its promise of being among the best escape rooms in the Netherlands. Hopefully the portfolio will be expanded beyond The Architect, The Vault and (currently) The Port Game.

We did the Vault. It was an amazing escape game, especially because we did manage to escape! Now I want to try the other options too! I highly recommend it if you want an adventurous fun evening.

The building itself, the clearness of the concept, the beautiful details. This was an experience to remember. Our team of 6 worked our way out of the room in 38 minutes. Communication, a curious mind and a logical thinking spirit will make your mind go crazy about Sherlocked Amsterdam. An absolute must do for people that like to be surprised as well as people that forgot how wonderful it is to create a curious mind. Thanks Sherlocked Amsterdam for inviting team Buro Curious!! Keep up this wonderful maker spirit and fill the world with beauty.

Definitely would not recommend this place. I've heard that customer service for this room sucks, but I could not imagine how bad it really is. When we've just arrived we noticed that we should call or text some guy who opens the door. After having a few calls and messages unanswered, the guy appeared in hurry to let us in. It was 20 minutes wasted in the cold. During the game my teammate got in emergency situation with his health, we tried to signal the operator but it was useless. He was unreachable. Horrible! Once the time passed we were told - that's all and we should quit. Nevertheless that we asked for final solution (having passed 95% of the quest) - they declined to give us neither time nor solution and asked for payment for the next session (start over). Me and my team are doing quests and escape rooms over the world and it's the first time that we are having such a terrible service. Demanded payment for 2nd hour of the quest, declined to help in emergency situation, made us wait in the cold outside for 20 minutes... The worst experience ever.

We did The Vault and there were 6 of us. It was definitely a new and fun escape experience. We felt like we’re on an action movie or something. It requires a bit of your physical ability and also role playing. The staff all worked so hard and gave us enough guidance when necessary. Overall, it’s a nice experience! Would definitely try other rooms :)

We did the architect room and it would have to be one of the best rooms we have ever played! The puzzles had so much variety, the teamwork aspect was quite high and there were elements that we had not seen in any other room before. If you love escape rooms and you are in Amsterdam, Sherlocked is a must!

I did this escaperoom with a group of really cool people on march 22nd. We loved the escape room. We had an absolute blast when we did this. Our host Caesar was amazing and helped made this an epic evening I will not soon forget. We enjoyed the evening, the storyline and the wide variety of puzzles we got to solve. I personally also really liked the custom app we got to play as well. Absolutely woukd recommend.

Super chill dude, well thought out game we really enjoyed it.

We booked this as a birthday treat for our friend whilst visiting Amsterdam. From the start we were captivated by the experience, the build up was exciting and the whole thing was brilliant. This is the largest escape rooms we’ve ever been to and the venue & detail was impressive. Would recommend to anyone for a fun activity.
