What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

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.

We had a great time trying to solve the riddles and break into the Vault. We did not quite make it within the alloted time, but that did not make it any less fun. The setting is beautiful, the hosts are convincing in their roles, the special effects work really well and due to the time pressure, you get totally carried away. We were a team of six colleagues and we all enjoyed it. We will definitely recommend Sherlocked!

We did the Vault escape room and it's the best room I have ever done. Even if it broke my winning streak

I was not expecting to have such a great time as it was my first escape room. I kept being surprised by how well thought and designed it was. Definitely recommend for a night out.

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.

My family (my parents, 25 year old brother & his girlfriend) and I (22) have done somewhere between 15-20 escape rooms around the world, and all of us agree that this—the Vault— was our all time favorite. It was the perfect mix of physical searching and mental problem solving/games. It was also the right amount of linear in terms of moving from one clue to the next, which allowed everyone to be able to participate while still forcing us to all work together. There was also a little bit of role play involved, which they take as seriously as you do—we (and by that I mean mostly I) fully committed, but they rolled with the punches when we got the giggles at the end. The Vault’s storyline is rather unique the deeper you dive into the story (we also loved the pre-game interactions) and the location/set is incredible. I definitely recommend downloading the app they send you and playing the game ahead of time as it prepares you for the types of physical locks that you will be opening in the room. We were able to get out— the escape rate is 20%— and are proud members of the crossed keys club! Thank you so much again to Joella and Tom for an epic experience!

Me and my family (four of us) did the Architect. Ingenious. We'd never done an escape room before so didn't know what to expect, but (with a couple of nudges) we were a minute or two from finishing. Fantastic entertainment and I can't recommend it enough.

By far the most immersive escape experience I've had. We experienced a beautiful and coherent story in which all little details just worked. The physical design, the actors (who make you part of the story), the historic site. Just wonderful! And tense!

Gaaf gaaf gaaf!!!! Wat een super ervaring in "the Vault" zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!! Goed in elkaar gezet en de begeleiding is top!!

The best escape room I have ever done. The Alchemist was AMAZING!!
