great family fun!

We are a family of 5 with older kids and we did The Vault. This was our first escape game so we didn't really know what to expect. However, we were intrigued and captivated from the moment of the email a few days before to the finish of the game an hour and a half after starting. It was brilliant fun and a memorable birthday treat for my son. It's described as "challenging" which is fair, but not impossible! We didn't complete it but came very close and loved the challenge. The staff are great and it's very well done throughout. Obviously, I can't give much away, but the idea is you're "breaking in" rather than trying to escape and there's lots of twists and turns along the way. I'd highly recommend this for adults or families with teenage kids. Brilliant!

Party of six beta-testing the Alchemist. Everything about this was superb: rooms, story, mechanics, audiovisuals, all of it. Downside? The escape room you will visit after this will be a disappointment.

Best Escape Room I've Ever Done

We were astounded with our experience at Sherlocked. The whole event is so emersive and beautifully presented. Much better than the escape rooms I have tried in the UK or Prague. This one will be hard to beat. The staff are fantastic. The setting is beautiful. The puzzles are tricky but solvable and a lot of fun. We did the Vault, and by 'did', I mean failed, but still thoroughly enjoying the experience. If we were in Amsterdam for an extra day, we would have definitely gone back. I've already told many friends at home that we need to arrange a trip to Amsterdam specifically for this escape room. I honestly can't praise this experience enough.

Feeling as a part of the story

Its located in the centre of Amsterdam, at a historic building. The session is about 1,5 - 2 hours. Bring yourself, some good (or forthcoming) friends, and enjoy. Take the whole thing serious, and you find yourself in the middle of a movie. Its a lot of fun! Our best decision that weekend visit was to try this concept.

Intense!!! Most fun I've had in a long time!

For us, a family of four with two adult children, it was a perfect family adventure. It took nearly the entire time to complete! It was so intense and challenging that we spent the next two days just talking about the experience. Although there is an explanatory e-mail, the entrance is a little confusing, you have to wait for a few minutes at a fairly non-descript door until someone comes to let you in. Once inside, everything was perfect. A lot of thought went into making this an absolutely fantastic experience.

Awesome experience from start to finish

I absolutely loved the vault. The pre experience brings you into the vibe and once inside this vibe transforms into an almost movie-like experience pushing you forward to finish the room. Afterwards, you're back into the same vibe of the pre experience which rounds up the story and gives it a nice ending. Loved it. However, this experience does require some degree of roleplay. Keep in mind that playing along with the roleplay really augments your experience.

Absolutely Amazing!!!

We’re celebrating a 30th birthday and this was one of the activities and what an experience! We’ve never done an escape room before and all I can say is we want to do more! The entire thing from start to finish was well planned and thought out, the puzzles really get your brain going!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!

We had an absolute blast as a family with our young son (age 7). We are experienced escape room enthusiasts who have played over 100 escape rooms around the globe. The Vault at the Sherlocked escape rooms rates in our top 10. Loved the immersive theme, unique location, and interesting “puzzles”. We escaped with 5 minutes to spare and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks again crew for being willing to let our son join.
