What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

i have picked this activity for our team at work! it was great! i can highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have some fun and do something completely new.

The Architect' was a thrilling experience. The building and the (beautiful) design of the rooms immediately take you back in time. You become the leading role in an exciting story which titillates all your senses. Teamwork and super sleuth qualities are required to solve the mystery as soon as possible!

Just played both rooms. What can I say. Wow. From start to finish excellent. Fantastic game masters. It was so much fun. Thank you for a great experience.

That was an amazing experience. I have some experience in the quest rooms, but so far, this is the best one. All types of riddles differ from each other, some unexpected moves and definitely an excellent final riddle. It is quite hard, though lots of fun. I strongly recommend it! So far the best activity experience in Amsterdam. Thank you guys!

After playing hundreds of games around the world, the games at Sherlocked still stand out in my mind as some of the most memorable experiences. Don't spoil anything for yourself, but definitely book in - especially for 'The Vault' (recommend 4 people) - you won't regret it.

This is my fourth Escape Room I've done in person, and definitely my favorite so far. My job full time is a Design teacher, and one of my units is designing an Escape Room game on the computer, so it is a passion of mine. What made this escape room enjoyable is that no two puzzles were alike, and they lead you in a way that makes sense if you stop to think instead of something impossibly cryptic which I've experienced before. The atmosphere is also very immersive and all the puzzles fit the theme. So glad we took the time to do this!

Let me start by saying that Sherlocked is definitely one of the top escape rooms in the Netherlands.The room is well made and the location is fantastic. Not only it's right in the middle of the city center but also because the building itself lends to the story at hand. But even more importantly than that, the game play is exceptional. First time player would have an experience of a lifetime while escape room enthusiasts would appreciate the ingenuity. It's not a static room where one puzzle would simply lead to another. There are mechanics involved and their effects are quite a delight and there are many puzzle designs that are outside the box. You'd be pleasantly surprised quite often. So yes, do play this room. Highly recommended. Having said that, the room does have some holes in its choice of storyline. There is not much progression of the narrative during the game which is somehow salvaged by the explanation at the end but still it could have been better integrated to the design. The atmosphere is a bit lacking with the absence of sound and light play but this might actually be preferable for players who are not too keen on feeling too nervous during the game. The puzzles are challenging and success rate is only around 30%. They are not impossible but it might be frustrating for people who are not used to solving riddles and figuring out codes. Some clues unfortunately was made rather unnecessarily difficult as it is hard to even see or hear it clearly. Our team did manage to make it out (with 10 minutes to spare and without any hints given by the game master) but we were told that this was not usually the case and we couldn't help thinking that simply making some clues easier to read and others clearer to hear would help players a great deal. Last but not least, the host/game master could have been a tad friendlier. He never tried to learn our names and did not seem to be interested in finding out where we are from. We assumed this was because he opted to stay in role at all time which was commendable but role playing should not be in the expense of hospitality. When I played escape rooms at other establishments (either in the Netherlands or in other countries), the hosts were interested in finding out how you experienced the room and were eager to connect to you as fellow escape rooms enthusiasts. Neither I nor my team mates felt that connection here. Still, do try the game. It's that good to overlook these inconveniences. If the organizers are able to improve on these other aspects, though, I have no doubt it could be one of the best escape rooms not only in the Netherlands but the world.

Het begin is al mega spannend en daardoor zit je er meteen goed in. Super origineel, spannend, maar ook echt moeilijk! Echt mijn complimenten voor de makers! Een aanrader!

My wife and I went with family and friends (6). We had done the Sherlocked last year and The Architect was top choice when we decided to do another escape room due to the professionalism of staff and creativity of the room. From the moment you are welcomed, the suspense begins as the actor greeting you is in character. This is probably our 10th room and The Sherlocked rooms are our favorites. Definitely recommend. We made it through both rooms. A new room soon please guys!

Sherlocked in Amsterdam is really something special. As soon as we stepped into The Alchemist, we were blown away. It’s honestly one of the most beautiful and elaborate escape rooms we’ve ever seen. HOWEVER what truly made our visit unforgettable was our host, Victor. His kindness and attentiveness stood out from the start, but he still went above and beyond. Victor secretly collaborated with my (now) fiancé to plan a proposal at the end of our experience. And it was perfect!! This escape room was so genuinely significant and will be a day we’ll cherish forever. Unfortunately, this review does come a couple of months late (life has been busy, as you can imagine!) but we still wanted to thank Victor and the rest of the Sherlocked team. Thank you for giving us such a meaningful and extraordinary memory. Y’all have set the bar impossibly high for escape rooms, and we can’t wait to visit Amsterdam again one day!
