What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

If you like puzzles, interactive and immersive experiences... look no further.

Was a great experience. Puzzles were simple but fun. Super nice room and vibe. Easy location to get to. All in all super enjoyable!

I've been to around 10 escape rooms and this one is by far the best. The story is truly immersive, simple enough to follow yet deep and detailed. The escape room never bores and seems endless. The puzzles were clever, diverse and unique. The atmosphere was so well done that we forgot that we were playing a game. This hasn't happened to me before. The only reason to not do this escape room is that all those you did before and will do after will feel dull.

Great storyline, authentic location, riddles with surprising elements (not just locks and keys) and a great host who stayed in character. Would definitely recommend!

This was my first escape room experience ever, and I was very sceptical at first because I'm not usually a big fan of riddles and puzzles. But this turned out to be really fun! The location was amazing, and really got you into the mood. I felt very adventurous ;-) The friends I went with are "Escape room experts", one of them has done no less than 8 different escape rooms. They said the "Architect" (the other escape room by Sherlocked) was their number 1 out of all escape rooms they had done. They said they liked the riddles better, compared to the Vault (the one I went to with them), because they found them more challenging. But they all agreed that the Vault had the best location, and that it was one of the best escape rooms they had done. Also, I should say that we only just made it at the Vault and only because we got a few tips when we got stuck, so don't think it was too easy ;-) Anyway, I guess I am hooked now, and I will try the Architect escape room, too :-)

Great historical location in the middle of Amsterdam. Played the Architect which had such a great vibe to it! Almost like straight out of a movie!

Sherlocked is located at the Beurs van Berlage which is a five minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. You will find the entrance at the Beursplein, next to the café opposite to 'de Bijenkorf'. Make yourself known by ringing the bell. The host will pick you up at the door and, after greeting you, will guide you to a place where you can leave all jackets, bags, and valuables. All valuables as well as bags are left in containers which will be locked so don't worry about anything getting stolen. After storing your belongings the host will guide you to the catacombs of the Beurs van Berlage and will tell you the story about the Beurs van Berlage after which the challenge will start. We played The Architect, which was absolutely terrific. The room is decorated beautifully with the decor completely fitting the early 1900s style of the Beurs van Berlage. The puzzles and riddles are not too easy and have been thought out very well. Clues provide hints in a very cryptic manner causing one to really think twice. Opposed to other escape rooms puzzles and riddles are diverse requiring the players to use all their senses. Hints are provided through an old fashioned phone in the room. Puzzles aren't necessarily lineair meaning players can work simultaneously on solving different mysteries. We were with five, which felt like an ideal team size. Unfortunately we did not manage to escape within 60 minutes as we got stuck in the last fiveteen minutes despite being very very close. Escaping, however, isn't impossible within the hour, just be sure to stay calm, think clear and retrace the steps you've taken. According to the host 60% of the players manage to escape within the hour. Despite failing to escape we had the time of our lives. Playing Sherlocked is a great experience and I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a great activity with friends to play this game. We will definitely come back to play The Vault! I think Sherlocked really lives up to its promise of being among the best escape rooms in the Netherlands. Hopefully the portfolio will be expanded beyond The Architect, The Vault and (currently) The Port Game.

I really liked the experience of the escape room and it was a pleasure to do, I recommend doing it with friends/family or your with your colleagues. Caesar was an amazing host!

We did the Vault and it was excellent. We had to 'Break In' rather than 'Break Out', so it was a clever twist on the usual escape room. The production quality is excellent and you are really immersed in the world as it takes place in multiple locations.

Yesterday I escaped The Vault with my colleagues. In the meanwhile this is my Escape Room number twenty something, so generally speaking you could say that I would have had my fill, been there done that's and the feeling that it's more of the same. I'm very glad to say that this wasn't the case. The Vault has been on my Escape Room bucketlist for a while, partly due to testimonies of other Escape Room owners. With an average chance of 7% to escape, I'm very excited to say that I can add myself amongst the privileged to escape. Everything is right about the room. The acting 15 minutes prior and after the room itself (with props and all), and the room itself, situated in a historic building with the original setting of the safe lockers and all. Note: due to physical activity it is not recommended for the physically challenged (moving between buildings, stairs and the break in part), the claustrophobic (you might be locked up in a small cabin by yourself) or people uncomfortable in the dark (however you can use a flashlight). Other than that: this escape room is a must, also for the experienced players amongst us!
