Less a room of puzzles than a room of random guesses

"The Vault" was our eighth puzzle room and the least enjoyable. Whereas other rooms have had clues pointing to puzzles this was much more random trial and error. The setting was convenient, the staff was pleasant and the theming was good but overall it just wasn't much fun. Tried to get and give some feedback to the staff at the end but they weren't interested.

Brilliant escape room... my first experience of one, and if they are all like this I will be doing many more! Brilliant staff, very friendly, and the puzzle itself was brilliant, abstract and thought provoking. Definitely recommended

Great Fun

Have done a few escape games but none on the scale of this! Great fun, great puzzles and overall a great way to spend and hour or so!

Definitely worth doing the Vault

We enjoyed the Vault which is essentially a reverse escape room as our task was to capture some jewels. This was our first experience of this kind of thing so took a little getting used to. We didn't manage to finish but did well, after a slow start. Our teenage kids were better than we were but no surprise there. Reasonably priced. Lasts about 90 minutes.

Genuinely the best escape room you can do

My mates and I have done a lot of escape rooms and this is by far the best there is. Hard but rewarding puzzles, a dash of role-play by the game-masters and a fun story make for a great experience. We got out with a few minutes to spare :). The only two negative (if you can call it that) things I can say is: - It wasn't a 100% obvious that the game actually started outside, so when we were met with role-play at the door we were a bit confused. It clicked after a few seconds so no real issue here. - I strongly advise not doing this escape room early on in your 'escape room career' as most rooms you will do after will be underwhelming :P

Loved this!! A must do activity!!!

This was an amazing experience and excellent value for money; particularly if you have a group of 6. It's 119 Euro's for groups of 3-6. Experience lasts for 50-70 minutes; depending on how quickly you unlock the clues. Book early as it's very popular. The venue is just 5 minutes walk from Central Station. I won't say too much about the experience so as not to give too much away, but you basically have to work your way out of a locked room by solving clues and puzzles. It's extremely clever and so much fun!!!

It was great.nkids were way ahead of their daddy.

We arrived a little late. The staff were super in getting us settled and started. Some of the kids had done other escape rooms before but said this was really well done. The place is really well done. It's really nice that they take a photo of you group after. Highly recommended. It's not cheap but it's value for money.

BEST ESCAPE ROOM EVER!!!!!!!!

I had heard that some of the escape rooms are really good in Amsterdam and as this one was one of the highest on Tripadvisor I thought I would give it a go. 6 of us tackled the vault and oh my god it is the best escape room ever!!!!! This was my 29th escape room from all over the world and definitely the best one I have ever done! Its all in English which was brilliant for us. A couple of people in my group were a bit worried about any sort of role-playing but don't be put off as it's nothing major. The beginning of the game was so cool, a great idea that I have never seen in any escape room and probably will never see again. The production quality is incredible, so many rooms and I love that they have actors in it too. I wont ruin anything but there is something that happens halfway through that was so tense and scary but I loved it!! So clever!. You really feel like you are getting your moneys worth with this escape room and at £22 each for 6 people for 75 minutes its totally worth it. As a tip, with any items you receive before you start make sure you don't lock them away in the trunk at the beginning like I did. I had to run out of building and back to the beginning to ring the doorbell and ask to be let back into the trunk which wasted a good 10-15 mins of time. Luckily the kind man gave us an extra 20 mins of gameplay at the end which he didn't have to do but I was so grateful he did as I was worried I had ruined the whole experience for all my friends. Thankfully we escaped which gave us a real sense of achievement. I cannot praise this place enough. I did a few escape rooms whilst in Amsterdam but this was by far the best one there and probably the best in the world. If you are considering doing this escape room then don't consider anymore just go, you wont regret it.
