What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

The Alchemist is the best escape room I’ve ever done in my life, and I’ve done a lot. My friend and I took a trip to Amsterdam, and we knew we had to take the opportunity to visit Sherlocked. We felt like we were in a movie. The puzzles were fun, just the right amount of challenging, and made sense with the story. And speaking of the story- what an immersive, engaging, and beautiful experience. I’ve never been so swept away by every element of an escape room and it had me completely captivated from start to finish. The quality, the craftsmanship, the creativity- bravo! I only wish I could afford to travel the world more often so I could try all of the other rooms here.

Played the Alchemist escape room and it was phenomenal, certainly one of the best I've ever done. Very high production quality and puzzles were varied and very fun.

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!

I had a group of 6 and between us we'd done a few escape rooms - sherlocked was easily the best one we've done. Its imaginative and great fun - our hour (well just under!) flew by.

Very hard . staff was helping otherwise we would be stuck on first riddle

We loved every minute of it: the athmosphere is great, the puzzles were very nicely balanced and the reward/feedback when you solve puzzles was good! I want to write about all the cool things we did and puzzles we solved, but obviously I won't ;) I can't wait until they launch their next room! Just go here and experience it for yourself, you definitely won't be disappointed!

DONE IT TWICE. VERY VERY WORTH IT. YOU'D BE AMAZED HOW HUGE OF AN EXPERIENCE THIS IS.

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

Amazing experience, great effects and a lot of fun for a group of friends! Definitely something to try!

I have played a number of escape rooms and this one tops them all! The build of the rooms, the amazing architecture, a cohesive and provocative storyline, and amazing tasks connect each piece of the experience into a wonderful and memorable time. From the time you sign up you feel like you are in the game. From an "experience design" standpoint, it's one of the most finely executed experiences I have had the opportunity to participate in.
