What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

My family (ages range from 16-74) and I had the opportunity to play both The Architect and The Vault. Both rooms were a major highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. It also worth mentioning the incredible customer service. On the day we were meant to play The Vault, there was an alarm going off and we were unable to play. They offered us a refund and allowed us to reschedule for the following day, for half of the price. The Architect was incredibly fun, challenging, and a great warm-up for The Vault. We escaped the room with a few seconds to spare. Although we weren't able to escape The Vault (apparently there is an 8% success rate), this was our favorite room! The roleplaying made this experience absolutely amazing. If you only have time for one room, I highly recommend The Vault. Beware, it's incredibly challenging.

Such a good escaperoom! The story and setting are amazing and we were drawn into the story from the very first moment. I like the fact that the mission starts outside already, it’s not like you’re let into a room with some instructions to then figure it out. Staff is super friendly, committed and involved from start to finish. Puzzles are fun, not the most difficult, but really fit the story. Would recommend!!

Incredibly well crafted escape room experience from start to finish. (Starts even before actually entering the room.) Other escape rooms I have done rely a lot on code locks hanging around the room. We did the vault and the story was compelling with cool game mechanics. Will check out their other room for sure!

We had a great time at Sherlocked! I was especially surprised by the originality and attention for detail and awesome staff. If you would like some original fun, I highly recommend spending some time at Sherlocked.

I've been to 3 escape rooms. This was by far the best. Great location, mysterious puzzles and nice surprises made this an extremely rewarding hour. I'll be back when there's another room. Jeroen

Located in a convenient place near the central station, Sherlocked’s The Architect game entertained our family at the end of a busy day. The game itself is held in the basement of an old historic building which adds to the ambiance (including a bit of humid smell in the enclosed hidden rooms). The puzzles were challenging and fun but we managed to complete the game with minor help. Definitely recommend it

We went with a group of 6 to do the vault escaperoom. It was so much fun and unique. It is very immersive and has some cool twists and turns along the way. The staff was really friendly and made it a great experience. Would highly recommend!

We did The Architect Room! It was my first time doing an escape game and I loved it! Will definitely come back the next time I'll be there

To My Esteemed Fellow in the Society of the Crossed Keys, If you have not yet embarked upon the ritual known as “The Alchemist,” I urge you to prioritize this endeavor at the earliest opportunity. Sherlocked has crafted an experience that stands unparalleled among the many tests and trials I have undertaken. It is not merely an “escape room” but an immersive journey into the heart of alchemical lore—a true masterwork of ingenuity, storytelling, and craftsmanship. The rituals of Ascension themselves are artfully designed, not overly complex, but seamlessly woven into the fabric of the mysteries that we all encounter in our daily lives, consistent with the deeper learnings revealed to those of us who have been initiated in our Society (“booked” the “escape room”). Each element you encounter serves a purpose, enriching the journey of ascension and unlocking layers of the mysterious past of our Society. The attention to detail is astounding; nothing feels arbitrary, and everything feels alive with meaning. Unlike the hurried improvisations one might encounter in a less refined gathering, the presentation of “The Alchemist” is meticulous. Imagine, if you will, the most elaborate LARP you’ve attended, but with years of refinement and a budget worthy of the most dedicated alchemical patron. The set pieces, the mechanisms, the sounds—all are crafted to draw you deeply into the world of the ritual. Even those elements that posed a real physical challenge carried an air of controlled danger, a necessary tension befitting the stakes of our mission. What impressed me most were the moments of revelation, those instances where the veil was lifted, and the true genius of the creators became evident. More than once, I found myself shouting aloud in triumph or gasping at the elegance of a solution. This is no ordinary test of wits; it is a celebration of the alchemical spirit, a challenge to both mind and heart. And an important one — if our Society is to succeed at its goals, to safeguard our future and the wellbeing of life on this precious planet, we must needs complete this ritual, and you may be vital to the cause. If you are a true seeker of wisdom and adventure, do not hesitate to take your place within “The Alchemist.” Gather your most trusted companions and prepare yourselves for a journey like no other. I trust we shall meet again, perhaps at a future convocation of the Society, to exchange tales of the challenges faced and overcome. Yours in the pursuit of the Great Work, Doctor Wylder P.S. Those who successfully complete the ritual may find themselves longing for a sequel. I, for one, will eagerly await the Society’s next summons. Until then, may your path be illuminated by the light of the Philosopher’s Stone.

The best escape room i ever have been!
