What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Amazingly well thought-out escape room. Recommandable to everyone.

Super fun and challenging!

Still can't get over how amazing this was - I didn't realise escape-type experiences could even be this immersive! They make it like you're starring in your own Mission Impossible film, so it's not just about solving puzzles but also "fooling" the staff and cooperating with mission control (they all do a great job of staying in character!). Lots of fun, very exciting, would definitely recommend!

As with other reviewers, this was our first time in an escape room and we weren't sure what to expect. We received a very warm welcome in this beautiful, historic building and after being asked to leave our mobile phones and bags securely at reception, we were given some background information and led into the room. We took part as a family of four, with two teenagers. It was a good combination of easy and difficult clues/challenges and we all enjoyed it, especially the way it made us work together. At times we got a bit stuck but were given some further direction from the host if we were clearly not getting anywhere. All-in-all, this was great fun and I would definitely recommend it.

Best escape room ever!!!!

We went and it was really fun, would go again 11/10 Was different than normal but in a good way you know

Great experience and we had such a nice host! We did the architect as a couple and we had a great time. Would recommend!!

A really cool (and immersive) experience. Unfortunately we didn't finish the Vault - leaving us with many unanswered questions - but it was a great challenge, kept us active and thinking. Would definitely recommend it!!!!

The beautiful location was the hook, the attention to detail in decor and challenging puzzles were the line and sinker. For an hour I forgot the time as the story, sense of achievement and awe built up as we overcame each obstacle (some of which were mechanically magnificent). It was a marvelous display of story-telling and suspense, and a must experience for anyone in Amsterdam.

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.
