What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

The Vault: Great story, fantastic setting, challenging and stressful while still being a ton of fun.

Very realistic and worth the price.

When I was a kid growing up in the 90s I was entranced by the video game MYST. With its beautiful sound design and ambient puzzle worlds, it was an amazing alternative to other computer games of its time. Fast forward to 2015 where an ingenious team has put together Sherlocked – a delightful experience in which puzzles are embedded in the physical artifacts and architecture of an elegant and mysterious confined space. The main difference, aside from digital/analog? Time. The clock ticks down just over an hour until you and your teammates can escape the mysterious chambers. In fact our team failed to solve the mystery – we got very very close! – but we still had an awesome time.

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!

"The Architect" is very well made, but too short. You might find it too easy if you're an escape room expert.

This escape room was an awesome experience. Challenging puzzles and cool ambiance. Some rooms could use some better responsive technology, though

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.

Our group had no idea what exactly to expect. The whole concept is shrouded in secrecy and mystery, which made the whole experience even better in the end. It was a perfect combination of adventure, teamwork, and mystery-solving for our team. Although we were with a group of friends, I'm sure this would also be perfect as a teambuilding activity. Our game master was a great storyteller, who really made us dive us into the story around the experience. Also, the location is brilliant, in the cellars of one of the oldest stock-market exchanges in the world! It's really close to the central station and many bars, so obviously we went for a beer after our escape to recap on the experience. Perfectly built escape room, and the best experience we've had in Amsterdam!

I'm still blown away! We made it with 5 minutes to spare and even when you think you made it out at last, you are mistaken ... This was definitely one of the most thrilling and amazing experiences of my life! It's an absolute blast! A crazy ride from the first to the last second!

We tackled the Architect puzzle with 4 adults and 2 children of 16 and 12. What a great fun evening! Everyone could get involved in puzzle solving and the time just flew by. Our friendly host intervened a couple of times where necessary to keep us on track but the game is so well designed that we were fully occupied and engaged throughout. My wife was also to participate despite being in a wheelchair - note there is no lift so we needed to carry her down the stairs to the basement room.
