What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

A great story, a concept that starts outside of the room with a team on a mission, that drives on a real global issue. The puzzles are hard (experienced players do better). The space feels real. And the game is layered with twists and levels (in thinking and in spaces). Go dive into it!

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.

Met zes personen “The Vault” gespeeld... Wat een avontuur! Van begin tot eind waan je je in een andere wereld! De spellen zijn uitdagend en je moet geweldig functioneren als team om erdoorheen te komen. Ik kijk zeer uit naar de volgende Sherlocked-experience!

unique experience. you'll be amazed during the game, and after that, the beer with the team has a different flavour :)

Awesome

We have done escape rooms throughout America, Europe, and Asia, and this was easily among our top 3 favorites! Thank you, Gunnar “Josiah ,” for the great role playing and experience! Definitely recommend!

Our group of four had a fantastic time. The host was outstanding and the challenge was the best we have ever experienced. A must do for anyone who likes the escape room experience!

We were a bit short of time to solve the mystery but we had so much fun in this room that we forgot about this frustration. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a real brain challenge.

Definitely one of the best escape rooms I have ever done. Great story and setting, and the staff were very good. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam!

I've been to many escape rooms in Belgium, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands but this one was by far absolutely the best !!! Fantastic set decoration, story and the whole experience was just freaking exhilarating. I love good storytelling and I was so happy to experience such a good story full of nice twists and different rooms to discover !!!
