What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Did you love games and puzzles when you were a kid? I know I did. Me and my younger sister would make up all kinds of games in which you had to go through different rooms solving puzzles and mysteries while jumping from chair to chair because the floor was made of lava. About fifteen years later those days are behind us and we usually do normal stuff like going out for coffee or to see a movie. We still like games and puzzles though; when we get together you could easily catch us playing monopoly or the occasional mario-kart match. I guess we just don't fool ourselves into believing the bathroom is a basement filled with long-lost secrets anymore. I think that as we grow up we need increasingly more realism to really give into our imagination. A chair on a red carpet is no longer a rock that rises from the boiling lava pools of death. You just feel too old for that stuff, and you would feel silly doing it even though it used to be so much fun. I had heard about escape rooms before and I guess the idea was appealing to me, but I never really looked into it. A friend of mine came up with the idea to try breaking into 'the vault' and really needed another competitor. I didn't have anything else going on and I thought to myself; well hey, why not? Let's give this escape room thing a try. Well I can assure you, as soon as we stepped into 'the vault' those feelings of excitement and curiosity I used to have stepping over chairs in our living room on my way to the next clue came bubbling up again. Everything looks amazingly real and there are even professional actors who make it seem like you should actually be on your guard. The whole thing is like a special agent's mission where you're Ethan Hunt infiltrating in enemy territory or Danny Ocean robbing a casino. We barely got out with our lives. Sherlocked has excelled greatly in making an exciting puzzle for people who have past the age where they used to play pretend. I can recommend trying to break into 'the vault' to anyone who would like to see if that past love for games still is in there somewhere. It exceeded all of my expectations, I'm sure it will blow your mind.

Sherlocked is hands-down the best escape room we’ve done so far. Innovative, creative, challenging and fun!! They did a great job coming up with clues, puzzles, tasks, etc. that really test the team in various ways. This room will put your problem-solving, observation and communication skills to the test like no other. Highly recommend it!!! My big bro and I escaped with only two people, but it was really hard, and we used every second. I think the room is ideal for four people (but don’t shy-away from the challenge if you have a smaller team). Everyone gets to do something, and be involved without tripping over each other. The key is communication!!! The smaller your team is, the more important this is. We had a blast. Our goal is to do a room in every city we travel to, but this room is going to be tough to beat. If anyone has any great recommendations, please let me know.

The best escape room I have ever done. We did “The Vault”, which is not your traditional escape room. Rather than trying to escape, you are trying to break in. Unlike most escape rooms, this one is interactive with the uses of walkie talkies and other other items. Other than that, I can’t say anything else or it will ruin the experience. Although we didn’t “win”, we will be back to finish were we left off. This is a must do and is worth every penny.

I have done many escape rooms, but this one blew my mind. The experienced is well designed from start to finished, with an amazing variety of clever puzzles and engaging puzzles. And to top it off it all takes place in an authentic old building whose history is woven into the escape room stories. Would highly recommend!

Fab fab fab! I suggested this to my husband to do for his birthday as he had previously been to an escape room on his stag. It was fantastic! Very well thought out and you can really immerse yourself in the whole experience. The staff are approachable and very believable in the story the lay out too. It really gets you thinking and was a great way to spend an hour working as a team with my hubby- got to keep his brain ticking over now he's the ripe old age of 32! Would definitely recommend a visit!

I've done The Vault with my team of 5 people. It is amazing! The ambience really puts you in the story. The game is really intelligent and requires a lot of attention. Actors are great and everything works really well ! Really worth visiting.

This is more than an excellent escape room, this is an adventure. We played The Vault with 5 players and were one of the lucky teams that made it out with just a few seconds left on the clock. If you like immersive theatre and escape rooms, this is the ultimate experience. Looking forward to The Architect!

Very immersive experience and clever puzzles

A very cool and immersive experience for everyone. Super recommend trying this one out while in the area :)

Great experience and we had such a nice host! We did the architect as a couple and we had a great time. Would recommend!!
