What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

After (successfully) solving The Vault, I have to say my escape room bar way too high! What an incredible series of twists, turns, and heart racing moments. Can’t wait to play whatever they come up with next… ✨

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!

This was the best escape room we have ever done. The puzzles were great but the experience itself was epic.

Woowww, when I was thinking that I may have been in many escape rooms and it'd be hard to keep getting excited, hwre comes the Alchemist and I can see how wrong I can be on judging the future :D Amazing! Highly recommendable!!

Me and three friends grouped together for Sherlocked and had the time of our lives!! We worked together and laughed the whole time. I highly recommend doing this. It's great for any group/family.

Fun, challenging, and exciting, the folks behind the "Sherlocked" escape rooms in Amsterdam have done it right! They have two experiences to choose from: The Vault, which is a break-in, and The Architect, which is mystery-solving. Both are very well curated, with clever puzzles that take advantage of the historical building in which they're housed. We solved both in one day -- it's recommended to do the Architect first, then the Vault, which we did. We tackled the Architect in the morning. Our host was engaging and enthusiastic, and our team of four had a wonderful time working our way through the secrets of the room. The puzzles are clever and well-organized, with lots of little, thoughtful touches -- notes penned on fabric, for example. Play is available in both English and Dutch. After lunch, we tackled the Vault -- a heist scenario that begins with your talking your way into the building -- and the Security Guard host was not persuaded easily! As with the Architect, this scenario took great advantage of the building's historical features and was both mentally and physically challenging! We had an incredible time. I can honestly say this was the most impressive escape room set-up I've ever seen!

The Vault is, from start to finish, truly immersive. If you're hesitating or thinking oh, I can do an escape room in my own city, reconsider! Sherlocked's escape rooms are meticulously constructed without being scary - these are real adventures you won't have anywhere else. We were a group of experience puzzlers and it was no walk in the park. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing experience

I was so excited about this experience beforehand that I was worried it would let me down and not meet my high expectations. I was so wrong...it was better than I could have hoped. If you do one thing whilst you're in Amsterdam, make sure it is this. I see a lot of people moaning about the price, but when we split the price between our group it worked out around £15 each which is great value for money. We did escape the room, but only just. It's challenging enough without being impossible. Do it - you must! It's also worth finding the entrance in good time, because it's not the most obvious, so give yourself a spare 15 mins before hand for that.

Take the best escape room experience you've ever had. Go there in your mind, and hop on a fast train to Awesomeville. Once you've passed Awesomeville, Amazingtown, and Flabbergastedcity, you might come close to the place that accurately describes the quality of Sherlocked - The Vault. I went there today with five friends. It wasn't my first escape room, but based on other people's reviews I had incredibly high expectations. Without going into detail (wouldn't want to ruin anyone's experience), this break-in-room MORE THAN lived up to the hype. The location (the old Amsterdam Stock Exchange) is PERFECT. So much history there, and the people behind this experience cleverly used the attributes at their disposal. The addition of having to come up with a cover story is brilliant, really taps into the visitor's creativity. The puzzles are not difficult, but the whole thing is so elaborate that I'm not surprised the majority of teams do not make it out in time. We didn't either and my competitive nature would usually lead me to be disappointed (and a little pissed off), but in this case I didn't even mind. It was an honor to be able to walk around in the stock exchange's historic vaults and we had so much fun! It's worth the money and DEFINITELY worth your time. There aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe how much this experience beats every other escape room experience. I give it 10 out of 10, multiplied by infinity and taken to the depths of forever. So for your next escape room visit, hop on the train to Sherlocked-town! I know I will. Next up on my list: Sherlocked - The Architect!
