What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Without spoiling it, this room has a fabulous rate of return. You’ll be invested in meticulously constructed puzzles, taking you on ups and downs - but don’t cash out too soon, and resist the temptation to ask for clues, this game rewards patience, communication, and attention to detail. From the moment you walk in to Amsterdam’s old stock exchange, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile by the (excellent) team, and faced with a room that’s in the perfect setting, well plotted, and is non stop. You’ll sniff out success best in a group of 3-4, we were 2 and just about managed it (but one of us is a bona fide genius…it says here). Be warned : brute force can REALLY count against you here. The value of your investment may go up as well as down ;-) Summary: fabulous concept, well executed, great activity even for a first timer in an escape room.

I don’t want to spoil anything of this amazing escape room. But get ready for some 007 vibes. This is not your average escape room with simply cracking a padlock. This is way more adventurous and puzzling. You even have to get your pokerface right! Thank you Sherlocked!

An exciting, challenging and fun group activity, a great alternative for the regular stuff! It will leave you and your teammates laughing and talking about it for hours afterwards. Signed, Agent 2586.

After over 500 rooms, I have a new favorite game - Sherlocked's The Alchemist. The set design, technology, and special effects, are all woven together to create an experience that is designed to inspire wonder. If I was rating the room on puzzles alone, it would already be an above-average escape room. They are a nice medium level of difficulty -- non-trivial, but not so complex as to be tedious or frustrating. We solved them as a team of 2 players without issue. Many of the solutions result in very satisfying payoffs, and are well integrated into the story. I was practically in tears at the beauty of the finale. The Alchemist stands head and shoulders over the hundreds of other games I've played all around the world.

Think they’re more important then the paying customer

If you love escape rooms Sherlocked is the one to visit. We tried the Vault and The Architect and we couldn't believe how much fun that was.

I expected a lot from this game, because I read all the great reviews about it beforehand, but it was much better than I imagined. Definitely one of the best things I have ever experienced.

At first, finding the right door to enter Sherlocked in the grand Beurs van Berlage building seemed like part of the puzzle. Once discovered we entered and were greeted very warmly by the lovely lady who would be our guide and storyteller to the Secret Room, and the puzzle of the Society of Crossed Keys. From there, you are locked inside a wonderfully theatrical room full of antiquities and secrets to piece together the ultimate answer - escape. Terrific enjoyment, couldn't recommend any higher.

Surprising, intriguing. Not easy, a real challenge! Well organized. Not scary but exciting, definately. Nice to do with group of friends.

Great fun. Good way to bond with friends. Booked online and host was expecting us. Smooth experience.
