What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We played "The Alchemist" today and it was absolutely amazing!!! The best escape the room we have ever played, and we played many around the globe. Before we booked, we read on their website that the room took 3 years to design and build and while ar first I wasn't sure why it would take that long, once you're playing it, you get it. It is absolutely incredible. The game design is perfect, the mechanics (and I do mean hard-core, engineered mechanics involved in turning the random physical space into a story-telling instrument with lights and gear) are perfect and the narrative is perfect. We are leaving Amsterdam soon otherwise we would definitely try their other games. Five stars!! Best ever.

We loved every minute of it: the athmosphere is great, the puzzles were very nicely balanced and the reward/feedback when you solve puzzles was good! I want to write about all the cool things we did and puzzles we solved, but obviously I won't ;) I can't wait until they launch their next room! Just go here and experience it for yourself, you definitely won't be disappointed!

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

With a few small scares and a very fitting ambiance, it was very, very engaging! The puzzles were great fun, with a lot to think about and well timed. Definitely nice to do as a couple!

With a bunch of friends we went for the Sherlocked experience. And it was, well, unforgettable. The room has the right atmosphere, gloomy, challenging. It was not as easy as I had expected, we really had to work it. The thrill that you experience when you solve part of the puzzle is an awesome feeling. Highly recommend it!

The atmosphere and the story blends in perfectly. The riddles are just right. Not too easy and not too complex. It is perfectly balanced to experience a nice escape room with lots of mechanics and fun things to do. Quite impressed and probably it will be hard to find another escape room like this one. Congratulations to the team! Also, a huge shout-out to our guide, we went to the Alchemist and he played the role really well explaining the story and giving us advice. 10/10

Great puzzles and lovely staff. Can see why this was rated so highly!

This was our first escape room and we are delighted to have gone! The staff were very attentive. The location is very close to central station and easy to find. The experience was thrilling but not scary at all; and very engaging. We did manage to escape just barely within the hour. It was easy enough for two people to do. Can't wait to do another one!

Our family did the new Vault room this past weekend. We had previously done the architect room at Sherlocked in the past and had loved the experience so we had high expectations, but sadly the sequel room was not on the same level as their first room. Without giving anything away, a number of puzzles in the room were not quite working, the interactions with the guides is via walkie talkie and poor in-room speakers and is difficult to understand and is quite disruptive to the flow of the game, the space is much larger and just does not have the same feel as the first room. We knew within the first few minutes this was going to be a different experience. They are still in the beta phase with this new room, and "are still working out the bugs", but fail to mention when you sign up that not everything will be working. Even if they get the bugs worked out, it will still fall short of the the first room (which was really great). If you are in Amsterdam and want to do an escape room try the Architect room at Sherlock, but skip the Vault.

I have never run so hard in my life and I was completely in the story! So cool!! We didn’t make it out but from the first minute I believed it al!
