What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

From start to finish this is awesome. Actors are brilliant (especially Yoka) and the whole set up is amazing. We did this as a team of 4 and just completed it will seconds to go. Great fun and really made our day. We were talking about it all night! Highly recommended.

Still buzzing from excitement, this was an amazing experience! We did the Alchemist room, the production value is insane, 100% worth the money. Staff slayed, thank you :))

This was a fun experience, we did the architect room with Tim as our host. He was helpful without being intrusive to the experience. Definitely recommend

Last week me and some friends went to the Vault escape room by Sherlocked. For us this was the first escape room we did but it was an incredible experience and we're sure we're going to do the second escape room by Sherlocked 'the architect' as well. The vault was thought out really well. Fun problems, awesome location and a mystical atmosphere came together. Great stuff and well worth the money!

We played on a sunday night, which was a perfect closing of the weekend. The game is fun, well paced and made me feel like a boy for a moment. I will look into booking another game!

Great experience from beginning to the end. You feel like a real Sherlock Holmes trying to solve the mystery. Would definitely recommend this for everybody who can spare 1,5 hours!

Let me start by saying that Sherlocked is definitely one of the top escape rooms in the Netherlands.The room is well made and the location is fantastic. Not only it's right in the middle of the city center but also because the building itself lends to the story at hand. But even more importantly than that, the game play is exceptional. First time player would have an experience of a lifetime while escape room enthusiasts would appreciate the ingenuity. It's not a static room where one puzzle would simply lead to another. There are mechanics involved and their effects are quite a delight and there are many puzzle designs that are outside the box. You'd be pleasantly surprised quite often. So yes, do play this room. Highly recommended. Having said that, the room does have some holes in its choice of storyline. There is not much progression of the narrative during the game which is somehow salvaged by the explanation at the end but still it could have been better integrated to the design. The atmosphere is a bit lacking with the absence of sound and light play but this might actually be preferable for players who are not too keen on feeling too nervous during the game. The puzzles are challenging and success rate is only around 30%. They are not impossible but it might be frustrating for people who are not used to solving riddles and figuring out codes. Some clues unfortunately was made rather unnecessarily difficult as it is hard to even see or hear it clearly. Our team did manage to make it out (with 10 minutes to spare and without any hints given by the game master) but we were told that this was not usually the case and we couldn't help thinking that simply making some clues easier to read and others clearer to hear would help players a great deal. Last but not least, the host/game master could have been a tad friendlier. He never tried to learn our names and did not seem to be interested in finding out where we are from. We assumed this was because he opted to stay in role at all time which was commendable but role playing should not be in the expense of hospitality. When I played escape rooms at other establishments (either in the Netherlands or in other countries), the hosts were interested in finding out how you experienced the room and were eager to connect to you as fellow escape rooms enthusiasts. Neither I nor my team mates felt that connection here. Still, do try the game. It's that good to overlook these inconveniences. If the organizers are able to improve on these other aspects, though, I have no doubt it could be one of the best escape rooms not only in the Netherlands but the world.

We did "The Vault". The premise was very convincing. the actors were top notch. It was very challenging, and we were at the last hurdle when we ran out of time, but later we were told that this is one the most difficult challenges in Europe. We still loved it although we did not finish.

Among exclusively exuberant enthusiasm I found one thing that I didn't like about this escape room experience, or about any of the Sherlocked escape rooms: it will be hard to find an escape room that will match this experience. This escape room doubled for me as an art installation, neo-classical architecture visit, craftsmanship-rate "tricks" and movie-like-immersive-experience. People should get married in this room. I just have to say, it wouldn't misstand in an architecture or design magazine. The steam-punk neo-classical vibe merges very neatly with some futurist touches. It brings the theme of mysticism from the past to the future. The games, puzzles, challenges are wonderfully integrated in the decor. And are amazing (dynamic) art pieces in themselves! They were not too easy and luckily (for me) also not too difficult. We were with a group of 5, and everybody was fully occupied continuously, we could really well split up between the different challenges. I like that, it makes me feel I can play again, engaging the elements that were left for others this time over. Recommend 100%. The amazed face with hands in front of her mouth of one of my companions is still imprinted on my retina.

Simply magical! I ended up at Sherlocked when invited by friends. I didn’t quite know what to expect, and I was absolutely blown away by the artistry, game design, creativity, and overall amazingness of this experience. It’s one of the more memorable experiences I’ve had in a long time and I’d highly recommend you go, whether you’re visiting town, like me, or a local. It was so good to feel so much wonder and awe!
