What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

It's something really especial, very, very exciting! Would you dare???? Something like playing with your friends and at same time challenging yourself.

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

I've done quite a few escape rooms in the US and this one is up there with them. Lots of fun, staff were great. Puzzles and obstacles were challenging and fun, but logical and rewarding. Highly recommend.

Do you like an adventure? This is the best experience I've had since a while. A perfectly crafted mental ride that makes you want to continue on and on, it's almost sad to finish it. But oh so exhilarating all the way through. The ambience is amazing and the clues are difficult but definitely doable. I'm hardcore fan now of escape the room!

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.

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!

This was the best escape room I have ever been to so far. It started so professionally be sure to be in character as the staff will not let you down. Although we didn't make it out, we had the best time ever and will be sure to go back to Amsterdam and do it all over again, it was truly amazing ENJOY .

Being somewhat reluctant going to an escape room I was not expecting much of this place but jeesh was I wrong! I'll try not to say too much and spoil anybody's experience. All I will say is that the attraction itself and the people running it are totally worth it.

From the very first moment you get sucked into an engaging story which I believe many will love - and I might got a bit too enthusiastic myself. In front of my colleagues I all of the sudden turned into an angry French art buyer with the sole purpose of bluffing our way into this very secretive art gallery. I hereby apologise to the my colleagues: sorry guys. tl;dr: loved every bit of it.

Having done a few escape rooms in the U.K., we wanted to do one while we were in Amsterdam for the weekend and were not disappointed. Thankfully the young man who set the scene for the experience spoke perfect English and therefore we were not at a disadvantage at any stage in the game. He was also a very good actor in setting the atmosphere for the room ahead. It was excellent from start to finish and the puzzles were challenging but not too frustrating. Enough hints along the way when needed without spoiling the flow! The venue was very atmospheric and imaginative. Loved it and would thoroughly recommend. Suitable for groups of friends or families with older children but would recommend at least 4 people do it to stand a chance of getting out! We missed out by about 2 mins (as a group of 3) and would have benefited from an extra person’s help. Or maybe we’re just making excuses!
