What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

I didn't have a clue what to expect from the Vault when I was told I would be doing it. I always wondered how escape rooms could really work as an experience - I always though it was just puzzles you had to solve to get out. Well - yes and no! While there were plenty of puzzles, it was made an experience by the people involved in the organisation of the Vault who made us almost instantly feel like we were actually part of the story - scared, happy, incredibly nervous, and all on cue. If you want to step out of your world and into a story in which you're the hero (hopefully), then step into the Vault!

Amazing, crazy, gave me a rush of adrenaline in the best way possible

What a great way to spend a few hours Amsterdam entertaining throughout really gets the mind going , maybe going to the coffee shop before isn't the best idea I wasn't the most helpful to my team but when in Amsterdam Thanks again

Great space and an amazing escape room experience. We did the Architect with three people. Interesting riddles and puzzles with a cool and unique space.

We were 6 friends and we dis the Architect room. It was nice, but not more than that. You can do it if you have some time to spend, but i expected to something more exciting.

I received this experience as a gift and we went as a group of six (with two teenagers). Every one of us had an absolutely fabulous time (even the 'pre-skeptic' one in our group). It's all about logical deductions, so no worries about having to be 'good' at any particular thing. It was the first of such that I've been to/done (was always a huge fan of the Crystal Maze as a kid), and I'm definitely going to do more. And our host was great too. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It's more like 10 out of 5 rating.

A great story, a concept that starts outside of the room with a team on a mission, that drives on a real global issue. The puzzles are hard (experienced players do better). The space feels real. And the game is layered with twists and levels (in thinking and in spaces). Go dive into it!

We went to “The Vault” escape room at Sherlocked with the bar set very high, and they somehow exceeded those expectations. It’s not just an escape room, but a comprehensive experience — wayy more elaborate than we expected it to be, and all of the guards and supervisors involved in roleplay in the escape room were in character the whole time. It also seemed pretty beginner friendly though complex; our group of 6 was able to crack a lot of the clues with barely any prior experience, with the assistance of the person on the other end of the walkie talkie, who gave out hints on next steps without giving away too much about what we were supposed to do. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’re looking forward to coming here again to try one of the other rooms they have to offer.

The architect escape room offers a really exciting experience. I especially loved the craftsmanship of the room, it's details and the contraptions to find your way out.

We had the pleasure of tackling The Architect tonight and give it our highest recommendation for all, but we will focus our comments towards other families with kids/teens. Our children are ages 9, 11, and 13yrs and we had done one "escape room" prior to this (the previous experience was helpful, but by no means necessary to enjoy this activity). The Architect adventure is exciting, challenging and surprising in numerous ways that reflect great creativity and originality. Everyone in our family was able to contribute and was entirely immersed in the experience. We would suggest that there be at least 2 adults for an adventure like this and definitely it is necessary that some of the kids are somewhat older (12yrs and above) so they can be more involved in puzzle solving. That said, younger children provide their unique perspective - and good ears and eyes that can sometimes be key to finding or solving something that adults struggle with. This is a fantastic way to spend time together as a family. It requires true teamwork and cooperation. Siblings need to support and listen to one another in order to be successful...and are thrilled by the fruits of their joint efforts! We hope others have as much fun as we did.
