What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

The escape room is absolutely superb, so very clever and everything else that’s great! We’re really happy that we’ve made it out of the room in time! I’m sure Berlage is looking down on us with big smile on his face, his eyes filled with pride! This game is a once in a lifetime experience and you can play it with friends, family or co-workers! But, be sure to put on your thinking caps, you'll need them!

There is a lot of international hype about Sherlocked’s The Vault. I tried to keep my expectations a bit lower not to be dissapointed, but it turned out it was absolutely unnecessary. The Vault is mindblowing, extraordinary experience that does not even deserve to be called “Escape room”, because it so much more! From the first moment, you are caught into an immersive story that will not let you go until you are done. Pre- and post- game experience is second to none. The space where the game takes place is utterly unique and you will not see anything like it anywhere else. Sherlocked is simply a must for anyone who is travelling to Amsterdam. This is not an Amsterdam’s escape room. This is Amsterdam’s landmark.

Brilliant experience today! Well thought out room and story. The host was nice and made sure we had an awesome time even before entering :)

The Vault is the BEST escape room I’ve ever done… and I’ve done a lot of them! Such brilliant ideas and the production design was incredible. We had an amazing time. It’s perfect for larger groups but works with smaller groups too. The host was terrific and we will definitely be coming back to try out the other rooms! Definitely a must if you love escape rooms. If you’ve never done one, start here!

Beautiful escape room. Quite hard to finish, but a great entertainment value. I'll recommend it to everyone!

I did the Architect room with my 12 year old daughter. I have done about 8 escape rooms and this was one of or the best one I have ever done. Puzzles were unique and atmosphere was great. Game master was paying attention to us and offered perfect amount of help/clues when needed. Highly recommend this room!

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.

Very immersive experience, the challenges are ingenious, fun, and surprising, with a big wow-factor! Very recommended to anyone who wants more than a standard escaperoom experience.

I have played both “the edison room” in SF and the “treasure room” in Berlin and for me “The Architect” far surpasses both of those experiences. The game-master Sam was the best host i’ve ever met. The set and props were so lovely, they functioned as game clues and keys but never broke the suspension of disbelief of the story that was being told. This is by far the best experience room i have ever done. Cant wait to try the vault!

If you're ever in Amsterdam you have to make sure to visit the vault room. The actor is very charismatic and plays his role in the game perfectly. The riddles are very close to the story so you'll always feel like there is a purpose behind them. Playing this game in the original walls of the stock market building was a experience in itself. It was super fun and challenging but with a little escape room experience its doable! But try not to rush through it because you should really enjoy the whole thing. :)
