What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Our family did the new Vault room this past weekend. We had previously done the architect room at Sherlocked in the past and had loved the experience so we had high expectations, but sadly the sequel room was not on the same level as their first room. Without giving anything away, a number of puzzles in the room were not quite working, the interactions with the guides is via walkie talkie and poor in-room speakers and is difficult to understand and is quite disruptive to the flow of the game, the space is much larger and just does not have the same feel as the first room. We knew within the first few minutes this was going to be a different experience. They are still in the beta phase with this new room, and "are still working out the bugs", but fail to mention when you sign up that not everything will be working. Even if they get the bugs worked out, it will still fall short of the the first room (which was really great). If you are in Amsterdam and want to do an escape room try the Architect room at Sherlock, but skip the Vault.

The most amazing and realistic escape room I've ever done. The story telling and tech stack arw incredible and our game master, Samuel, was just the best, never losing his character and always making sure to deliver the best experience throughout the entire game. 10/10

We did The Alchemist. Incredible room! Very well thought out with lots of different elements. You will keep being amazed with every step you have to take. A must do for escape room enthusiasts!!

This is perfect for a group of young adults that are touring Europe (or interrailing). It's such a great way to kill some time and see who's the best amongst the friends. The experience starts in a different building to the main place which meant we were walking the streets of Amsterdam with a mission. This is something I've not seen before having done many. You also have to act as a fake character to pass through the 'security' part of the mission which is again very unique. The rest of the mission is really good! Definitely book early in advance!

My fiancé and I booked the Architect while in Amsterdam. We had been told that it was the best one in town. We definitely weren’t dissapointed! The room is in the building of the old stock exchange of Amsterdam, which is really awesome. The storyline and decor were great and the puzzles moderately hard. We were 2 and got out with 12 minutes to spare. Overall a great experience! We are dissapointed we didn’t get to do the Vault, but it calls for 4 players minimum.

We had a great experience in The Vault. Not only the story is very well thought, but also the set up and atmosphere that people from Sherlocked recreate is absolutely great. Very challenging but doable. We booked it because of the high scores it has, and we can say now it really deserves a position at the top of the list!

What an unexpected adventure! A group of friends invited me to play Sherlocked last night, and I had no idea what it was - but couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. It's like going back in time hundreds of years, into a real life game of Clue! In the vault of one of the most historical, beautiful buildings in Amsterdam, the genius creators have built a mystery game that is elegant, thought-provoking, and good old fashioned fun. Not too hard, not too easy, and requiring nearly all of your senses...grab your smartest, most creative (and competitive) friends and get out there!

What an amazing experience was this! We played The Vault, which is a break-in room. So don't expect a normal escape room. This is so much more! We experienced it really as an adventure, because you get the feeling that you are on a mission with your team. This escape room really leads you through a story, which makes it very immersive. Nice riddles and an exciting adrenaline moment in the middle (if you know, you know ;))

We had Problems with some riddles and the clock ran out of time. Sadly we went home with nothing in our hands and the nice feeling of failure! To be fair: the game was well planned and the setting looked good

I would recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam. I played this game as a group of four. The game is so well thought out and inventive. They were lots of different types of puzzles (I won't spoil the game by giving too much away). In terms of difficulty, yes it is tricky but you do get help from your game team member if you need it. The role play and the team were fantastic and we found ourselves becoming completely engrossed in the experience. We were fortunate to complete the mission and the game took us just under 1.5 hours. I enjoyed every second and wish I could do it again! A big well done to all of the team for coming up with such a fantastic experience.
