What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Amazing experience! We had a wonderful time, this was the first escape room for us and we were not disappointed. We are a group of 6 friends who all love to puzzle and play games and we all loved it. The room was set up beautifully, with lots of unexpected events and the level of difficulty was excellent!

I experienced the Vault escape adventure (escape room doesn't fit as a description) two days ago and I'm under huge impression. I tried escape rooms few times already, they were fine and interesting but I was basically cracking all the mysteries and had very goal-oriented approach. With the Vault the thing is very different! First of all the storyline is perfect, you can really get immersed not only in the puzzles, but the overall experience and you forget about the "real world". It's fun, it's persuasive, you just find yourself being 100% in the story and acting as one of the characters. Secondly, puzzles you face give you challenges and make you stepping on your toes to solve them. Finally - the quality! It was such a pleasure taking part in the experience that was designed with such a commitment to details and solutions used. I really enjoyed how well produced it is and how much it is embedded in Amsterdam's infrastructure. And with that I should say no more, not to share any spoilers ;) Enjoy

After a somewhat disappointing first escape room experience I could not wait for a (hopefully) better experience which I definitely found here in the heart of Amsterdam at Sherlocked. We did The Architect with four people and, with four minutes left, escaped just in time. I really loved the venue which gave the escape room an authentic and mysterious feel. The host was welcoming and helpful. The interior of the room and the puzzles were very well-thought-out: everything matched perfectly together and looked as if it really belonged in that room. The puzzles were challenging but not too hard I think. Since I don’t want to spoil too much, I’ll just give you this: There is more than meets the eye in this escape room.

This was my first experience with an Escape room, and it blew me away! Lovely attention to detail, and so much surprises! You get on a ride which doesn't stop till you leave the room. WE WANT MORE!

we are an experienced couple with escape rooms (done over 10 in Israel). in our opinion this room is not suitable for 2 people - we did not finish in time (a shame that they allow couples to play). most of the riddles were good, but there were too many for a couple. probably would have managed if they gave us a little more time to finish (but they stopped the game exactly after 1 hour). we asked for a walk-through for the few remaining riddles (after we already got out the room), but the staff refused to tell us (too bad, because we would not go there again and it could have make our experience better). it is very expensive (compared to other rooms in Amsterdam). overall the room was nice, good theme, sophisticated riddles, but we got out of there with a bad taste. we would not return there.

Great experience from beginning to the end. You feel like a real Sherlock Holmes trying to solve the mystery. Would definitely recommend this for everybody who can spare 1,5 hours!

I have done over 20 escape rooms in Europe and across the UK. After doing so many, I have a select few favourites that have managed to surprise me in a new way. The best rooms move beyond clever game mechanics and ensure there is a clear strong sense of theme and a clear framing narrative to each game. There isn't much in this genre I haven't experienced. However, I have to say, after doing The Vault experience I was absolutely blown away. The level of detail and immersion here is unlike anything I have experienced. The puzzle mechanics are incredibly sophisticated and woven seamlessly into a fast paced story in which you are masterfully drawn into the world of your secret mission. Without giving anything away, I will say there are so many surprise moments in this experience involving aspects of theatre, technology and aunthentic props that create a truly incredible multimedia experience. We escaped with 30 seconds to spare and although this is only the first night of our Amsterdam stay, we are unsure how the rest of the trip will top this!

Didn't make it in time. it was a bit strange though. We were told time was up, but the clock was still on 8 minutes and started on 59:59. We started at 8 o clock en it wasn't 9 o clock when we got the call that time was up. So that kinda left us with mixed feelings. Make sure to check it before hand.

A friend of mine told me about escape games and recommend me this place as I went to Amsterdam for a weekend. Normally I am not a big fan of games and mystery, but I gave it a try and just to say it already in the beginning - it was more than worth it! We went there in a group of five people, a charming young lady welcomed us and told us everything about the game. In the next hour we had time to solve the riddle, which was quite fun! Especially all those "Heureka!" moments and the feeling to act in a team were great! I would say the game has the right degree of difficulty: it is not to easy and you have to tax your brain. And even if we did not make it to escape the room in the end (we were really, really close! :) I am thinking about to test also the other venue called "the vault" by my next visit in Amsterdam All in all I can say it was a fun experience and it confirms me that it is worth to try new things.

We did The Architect. It's a great room. The puzzles are intuitive and quite recoursefull. The story behind the room is also very good! Although we did not finish the room, we had a lot of fun!
