What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We did both rooms here within two weeks. The “Architect” deserves 5 stars as it was well done, logical and a great experience. We would definitely recommend this room!! With high hopes we also booked the “Vault”, which unfortunately was not great and very disappointing. It starts cool but as soon as you’re inside it’s not great. Pros: - great design and rooms Cons: - communicating with host only on walkie talkie and we couldn’t understand a word. If you’re not a native english speaker (and neither am I), you need to speak slowly and clearly. We had a male host at the “Architect”, who was great, the girl this time was awful - the hints we received were terrible and didn’t help but rather confused us - some elements (“the guard”) wasted so much time (seriously, 5 mins wasted!!!) and that shouldn’t happen - some puzzles were for one person, some for 4. this didn’t make sense - some puzzles are not logical at all (i have done over 30 escape rooms world wide) and are frustrating We felt overall very frustrated with the “Vault” as it’s obvious that there’s some good ideas but also some things that are not thought through. Huge time-wasting moments that couldn’t be skipped. We felt cheated of a good 10 mins of our time due to some lengthy parts (guard,sphinx speech). We felt like we could have solved it with a better host. We really wanted to love this room and with better hints and streamlining some of the puzzles it would be great but as it stands. I would not recommend this room. Do the “Architect” and you’ll be happy, great theme and very well done!

This was the first time that my girlfriend and I tried an escape room and even with just a team of two it was great fun. I think that it was quite well-pitched. The puzzles were challenging, but not so difficult that you left feeling stupid. The staff know just when to redirect you if they see that you are stuck for a while. We were not successful in the end, but the staff were very friendly and made us feel positive and like we had done well. Lots of fun, and highly recommended.

Amazing experience

Excellent! Very well thought game! I consider it to be the great time spent with my team. Fun, fun, fun!

We played the Vault. It was hands down to very best escape room I have ever done! The experience is more story based than puzzle based. You feel like you are in a real heist! The puzzles are pretty linear, but the race against time is a real challenge. I would and will definitely be back!!!

Having done a few escape rooms in the U.K., we wanted to do one while we were in Amsterdam for the weekend and were not disappointed. Thankfully the young man who set the scene for the experience spoke perfect English and therefore we were not at a disadvantage at any stage in the game. He was also a very good actor in setting the atmosphere for the room ahead. It was excellent from start to finish and the puzzles were challenging but not too frustrating. Enough hints along the way when needed without spoiling the flow! The venue was very atmospheric and imaginative. Loved it and would thoroughly recommend. Suitable for groups of friends or families with older children but would recommend at least 4 people do it to stand a chance of getting out! We missed out by about 2 mins (as a group of 3) and would have benefited from an extra person’s help. Or maybe we’re just making excuses!

- awesome actors - high quality room - solved the puzzle with 4 min left - experience starts outside and then leads into the room - challenges vary from simple locks to complex group challenge that have to be solved together

This is an exciting attraction in Amsterdam. Discover a little history about the world's first stock exchange at this escape room game. It's great to do with a group of friends. Me and a group of friends went to play this escape room game. There were also new friends of friends which I hadn't met, but got to know very well by playing together. There were great puzzles, music and challenges that were both creative and intricate. Secret doors, hidden levers, and let's just say group electricity moments really made it a fun time. The location is great for jumping to a cafe or restaurant afterwards and chat about the game. Great clean fun for family and friends.

Five of us took part in the Sherlocked game and we had a fantastic time. Without giving away any of the surprises it kept us all on our toes and we were so close to completing the challenge! We especially liked many of the elements around the actual room game. For example, we had to meet at a different location to collect our 'mission' and break into the room. The interaction with the staff really added to the experience. I have never played a game on this scale and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The one note of caution I would give people is that some of the tasks are quite physical so don't be surprised if at least one of you has to crawl about! A great way to spend an hour and a half and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam

Wow! I've done a few escape rooms but none have ever been as incredibly immersive as The Vault was. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish and so exciting! Can't wait to try your newest one (when it's completed).
