What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

My friends and I who have each done 5-7 escape rooms each in all different European countries decided to give Sherlocked a try after reading promising reviews. Sadly, everyone left with a bad taste in their mouths and frustrated with the whole experience. You go in and learn about the impressive story and history of the building, then are introduced to the room. We soon realized the gamekeeper will use a phone to communicate with the group - no doubt designed to help you in the right direction (this concept is used in every escape room we have done). However, what it turned into was the gamekeeper calling us to stop messing with the old books, or stop touching this old item, don't touch the couch ect. We began to dread every time the phone rang because we knew it was to have us stop touching something. It eventually had us tiptoeing around the place. Keep in mind, we weren't being destructive, it's just that nothing is a prop, which blows my mind because I'm used to having everything in the room being fair game to hold and study. When we were done, the gamekeeper was not friendly and seemed generally annoyed with us. Do your yourself a favor and skip Sherlocked. We went to a couple other escape rooms in Amsterdam and had a blast. Check those out instead.

I received this experience as a gift and we went as a group of six (with two teenagers). Every one of us had an absolutely fabulous time (even the 'pre-skeptic' one in our group). It's all about logical deductions, so no worries about having to be 'good' at any particular thing. It was the first of such that I've been to/done (was always a huge fan of the Crystal Maze as a kid), and I'm definitely going to do more. And our host was great too. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It's more like 10 out of 5 rating.

We were a group of friends, one group tried to break out while the others were on a different game. The objective for us was not only to fulfil the task but to beat our friends time!! We were greeted, given an overview of the story and then placed in the room. What fun. We were lucky enough to escape and when we heard our friends hadn't solved their clues in time it was even better !! Definitely recommend this activity. A great way to spend an hour or two with friends!

We did The Vault today with 6 friends and it was truly amazing! We all loved it and found it one of the best escape room we experienced so far!

What a treat! This was my first time trying an escape room, and I started off with one of the best. It felt like I was in a movie with the storyline, sounds and special effects. I was glad to be with a group of seasoned escape room players, as some of the puzzles were quite challenging.

Loved loved loved the architect escape room. Such a fun challenge and amazingly well set up with so many unexpected elements. Would highly recommend for a fun night out.

Best day of my life! Really really good and virtually impossible! The location is all original and the building is amazing. Great for groups of friends!

I'm a game designer, this is what I do for a living - and believe me, few games had me as impressed as this amazing Escape the Room in Amsterdam. We tried the "Vault" experience and it was really an amazing time. This is an absolute must see!

You have to visit The Vault!! This is the best escape room experience I have had so far. There is a bit of role play, a lot of real life experience like elements. The host was a really cool guy and his role playing skills are on point. Once inside, the puzzles are jarring and the intense race against time makes it even more exhilarating experience. We managed to escape in the last 10 seconds (Yes!). We were literally running to find escape. Mind it, only 20% of people manage to escape from this room. So If you believe that you had done a one too many escape rooms, I dare you to try this one. The Authenticity and history of the building where the Vault is located just cherry on the icing making the experience even more enriched. Ps.
