What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

My partner and I played "The Architect" after Sherlocked was recommended to us on our Amsterdam trip. Man, this escape room was mindblowing. We have played our fair share of ESCrooms, but this one topped most of them. Great riddles, everything made sense and wasn't too easy, but still solvable. Our game master was very helpful as well. We will definitely return to play "The Vault"!!

Super leuke uitdaging!! Met z'n 4-en gespeeld en fantastisch veel plezier gehad. Aandachtspunt is wel dat het spel volledig in het Engels is en daarom minder geschikt is voor degenen die de taal niet heel goed beheersen... Misschien een idee om ook een NL variant in het leven te roepen?

I absolutely LOVED Sherlocked! We went with my family of 6. Everyone go to do their part, everyone loved it. When we stepped out of that door I had such an adrenaline rush! I recommend everyone to do this!

I have played both The Architect and the Vault. Both were OUTSTANDING. Every detail has been thought of. I cannot express enough how much fun we had playing the games. The Architect is a must for anyone who wishes to try a timeless-classical escape room format. The Vault is totally next level, absolute immersion, so good. Be prepared to role-play your little heart out. Thank you to the team at Sherlock for their dedication at making such a detail, engaging, caring game.

Brilliant “not your average” escape room experience - different locations, role play, physical and mental challenges …. and lovely staff

Booked this as a suprise for my husbands 40th birthday. Booking was done online from home (scotland) and no problems with this. My enquiries were answered via email quickly. The escape room itself was good fun and our quiz master was friendly and spoke good English which helped! The only down side to this was the price as it was quite expensive. However as it was a special occasion was worth the money. Would recommend doing this as something slightly different!

Our family (4 adults) had a one night lay-over in Amsterdam. What to do? We found Sherlocked on Trip Advisor. We were captivated from the first moment we entered the room. It took all of us to solve the room. We did escape but with only 3 minutes to spare! This was a super fun experience for the entire family. Highly recommend it!!

We are still talking about The Vault a month after our trip to Amsterdam. Of all the things we did on our family holiday there, this was by far the highlight. The experience is so immersive and you really feel a part of the story. Only wish we could do more escape rooms like this. Our group was our family of four, kids 13 and 10, and it was totally appropriate - it’s even more fun if you really get into the storytelling. Don’t want to say more for fear of spoiling it, but highly recommend!!

We did both rooms here within two weeks. The “Architect” deserves 5 stars as it was well done, logical and a great experience. We would definitely recommend this room!! With high hopes we also booked the “Vault”, which unfortunately was not great and very disappointing. It starts cool but as soon as you’re inside it’s not great. Pros: - great design and rooms Cons: - communicating with host only on walkie talkie and we couldn’t understand a word. If you’re not a native english speaker (and neither am I), you need to speak slowly and clearly. We had a male host at the “Architect”, who was great, the girl this time was awful - the hints we received were terrible and didn’t help but rather confused us - some elements (“the guard”) wasted so much time (seriously, 5 mins wasted!!!) and that shouldn’t happen - some puzzles were for one person, some for 4. this didn’t make sense - some puzzles are not logical at all (i have done over 30 escape rooms world wide) and are frustrating We felt overall very frustrated with the “Vault” as it’s obvious that there’s some good ideas but also some things that are not thought through. Huge time-wasting moments that couldn’t be skipped. We felt cheated of a good 10 mins of our time due to some lengthy parts (guard,sphinx speech). We felt like we could have solved it with a better host. We really wanted to love this room and with better hints and streamlining some of the puzzles it would be great but as it stands. I would not recommend this room. Do the “Architect” and you’ll be happy, great theme and very well done!

The best escape I have been to in a while. The concept is amazing and the adrenaline rush was real. We couldn’t stop talking about it after we finished it. It was a bit different than other typical escape rooms, but 120% worth it.
