What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

This is absolutely amazing, a masterpiece! What an amazing experience! Thoughtful, exciting, fun, and lot of Eureka moments. Nicely instructed too, well as much as needed. You have to escape on your own in 90 minutes. Whether you are a tourist in Amsterdam or want a corporate team outing, this should absolutely be on your list. stars, loved it.

My husband and I are driving through Europe and we did our first escape room in Hamburg two days ago and we were hooked! So with roughly 20 hours to spend in Amsterdam, we thought we’d try another escape room. It was worth every penny! We picked Sherlocked based on TripAdvisor reviews. Despite being number 3 overall (at the moment!), it had over 1,000 reviews and over 900 were excellent. Also, the reviews indicated that the experience involved more puzzles rather than an endless series of lock combinations, which really appealed to us. Our game master, Armando, greeted us at the door and did a great job telling the story and getting us into character with his clever tale of secret societies and hidden rooms. His English was phenomenal and his story telling skills were excellent. There was no role playing, per se. The background story served to explain the purpose of the room, but it wasn’t silly or stupid at all. The puzzles were fun and varied. There were some classic pattern recognition games, but there were also a variety of really creative games that involved using all five of our senses! I won’t say more for fear of spoiling it, but we highly recommend this room. It was challenging and we didn’t finish (got stuck on one clue for the last 10 minutes or so), but we really enjoyed the ones we did solve. It is hard to manage your time well with only 2 people, and we were told the success rate for groups of 2 is 15 to 20 percent and we were apparently 80 percent finished, so we felt good about our efforts!! I’d imagine this would be even more fun with 3 or 4 people. p.s. I went back and read the “terrible” and “poor” reviews and the majority appear to be old so my assumption is that they don’t apply because ours was neither confusing nor a role playing game and our game master could not be more pleasant or polite.

You have to visit The Vault!! This is the best escape room experience I have had so far. There is a bit of role play, a lot of real life experience like elements. The host was a really cool guy and his role playing skills are on point. Once inside, the puzzles are jarring and the intense race against time makes it even more exhilarating experience. We managed to escape in the last 10 seconds (Yes!). We were literally running to find escape. Mind it, only 20% of people manage to escape from this room. So If you believe that you had done a one too many escape rooms, I dare you to try this one. The Authenticity and history of the building where the Vault is located just cherry on the icing making the experience even more enriched. Ps. The management team has taken all necessary measures to maintain social distancing and proper sanitary measures within the premises for corona virus

The Vault is an experience you'll never forget. The design of the concept is very good and every aspect of the experience is carefully designed. Starting with the emails and messages you receive before actually starting the escape room, ending with great excitement up till the vert end. Beautiful location and great mix of puzzles and activities. It's really challenging and fun!

One of the best Escape Room experiences ever! The scene is beautiful and challenging. You need to really work together as a team, which is great. Overall vert impressive work!

Literally the best escape room I have seen! The mechanics were amazing and so cool! The story is interesting and well thought out. Overall a 10 out of 10, I would definitely recommend the alchemist escape room!

Great room, staff was a bit confused when we got there

Great adventure with many cool riddles.

This is more than an excellent escape room, this is an adventure. We played The Vault with 5 players and were one of the lucky teams that made it out with just a few seconds left on the clock. If you like immersive theatre and escape rooms, this is the ultimate experience. Looking forward to The Architect!

Me and my wife had "The Architect" experience (the only one with minimum of 2 people). It was great! Although, the time ran out before we had a chance to complete it, we really enjoined it. Just few more minutes and we would complete the last challenge! Despite that, it is ultimate fun and exercise for the brain. The atmosphere is like in the movie, very authentic. Adrenaline kicks in, and you, like a real detective, solves the mystery of the room. Must visit place! Note: no phones/cameras allowed!
