What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Incredible experience. The building is fantastic and lends itself perfectly to the theme, and the game (we did The Architect) is beautifully designed in terms of pace, aesthetic, entertainment and interactivity. Our games master was also a real credit to the company - a genuinely kind and welcoming person who made all the difference for us. 100% recommend to anyone, and will definitely visit again.

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.

A completely brilliant immersive experience-we started ‘playing’ The Vault days before we got to Amsterdam. The anticipation added to the experience and although the kids (aged 10/12) got a bit jittery in retrospect said it was one of the best things we had done. A very cool, very enjoyable escape room, and we weren’t even very efficient at getting out!!

Really really fun :)

I did the escape-room exercise at the Sherlocked venue in Amsterdam last week as a team building exercise and I was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the way it was planned. Our hostess, Tanja, set the background story out with great enthusiasm before we entered the escape room. She was detailed in her explanation and prepared to answer our questions about the mystery without throwing away hints. Then we entered the room and found it extremely well planned and accurate to the last detail. Every last object and mark in the room was put in there after due thought and served a purpose. The antiques in the room helped further establish the storyline - and from sounds to smells - it was all there to get us engulfed in the mystery. The level of difficulty was just right - not so hard that hardly anyone solves it, and not as easy that it may be solved within 15-20 mins. Great for team building or just some fun with friends! Highly recommended, well done to the creators!

Booked the Architect ahead of our visit to Amsterdam and couldn't have been happier. The staff to begin with were amazing, ringing to remind us of our booking on the day, and then giving us time when we arrived late. The room and game are really we laid out, with loads to do in the hour to solve the puzzle. This is a must do when in Amsterdam, we completed as a couple but more could do the puzzle together.

Fun experience! At first I was not sure what quite to expect; Sherlocked's 'the Architect' pulls you into the basements of the historical Beurs van Berlage building for an exciting game that asks for outstanding teamwork and good nerves ;-). I would highly recommend if you are looking for an original activity in the city center of Amsterdam.

A fun trap room, quite a few puzzles to get through, and the room/building is a great setting for this adventure! Recommended. Only a small bit of feedback, would be great to get a water or a quick drink either when waiting or when we're done with the room!

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!

My husband and I run our own escape room in Ireland, and we often go and play other games because we love these games so much. Many times we are let down by unoriginal, pointless puzzles that are more like a lame scavenger hunt without any logic or problem solving. We went to Sherlocked in November with some family members and played The Architect and were absolutely blown away by the quality of the puzzles, the layout of the room, the friendly and professional staff, and the excitement we felt towards the end as we were so close to escaping! I'm a harsh critic of escape games and as I said am usually unimpressed. I will be recommending this game to everyone I meet that makes a trip to A'dam. My hats off to the creators of the game, the staff, and everyone involved in this great activity. You deserve all of your 5 star reviews, and more.
