What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

I had heard that some of the escape rooms are really good in Amsterdam and as this one was one of the highest on Tripadvisor I thought I would give it a go. 6 of us tackled the vault and oh my god it is the best escape room ever!!!!! This was my 29th escape room from all over the world and definitely the best one I have ever done! Its all in English which was brilliant for us. A couple of people in my group were a bit worried about any sort of role-playing but don't be put off as it's nothing major. The beginning of the game was so cool, a great idea that I have never seen in any escape room and probably will never see again. The production quality is incredible, so many rooms and I love that they have actors in it too. I wont ruin anything but there is something that happens halfway through that was so tense and scary but I loved it!! So clever!. You really feel like you are getting your moneys worth with this escape room and at £22 each for 6 people for 75 minutes its totally worth it. As a tip, with any items you receive before you start make sure you don't lock them away in the trunk at the beginning like I did. I had to run out of building and back to the beginning to ring the doorbell and ask to be let back into the trunk which wasted a good 10-15 mins of time. Luckily the kind man gave us an extra 20 mins of gameplay at the end which he didn't have to do but I was so grateful he did as I was worried I had ruined the whole experience for all my friends. Thankfully we escaped which gave us a real sense of achievement. I cannot praise this place enough. I did a few escape rooms whilst in Amsterdam but this was by far the best one there and probably the best in the world. If you are considering doing this escape room then don't consider anymore just go, you wont regret it.

This was a really good experience. I have always loved to solve riddles and to be able to experience them in real life, together with a few friends, definitely made the experience a special one. It was exciting, entertaining, difficult (though not too difficult) and we had a lot of fun.

First time I did an escape room. What a nice experience! Great atmosphere, nice challenges and enough surprises :)

The Vault is the BEST Escape Room I’ve ever done! If you love Escape Rooms, go here. If you’ve never done one, start here. We had such a great time. The host was fantastic, the production design was incredible, the venue is amazing, the puzzles are so much fun… I can’t rate it highly enough. We can’t wait to come back and explore the other rooms!

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!

Our group of four had a fantastic time. The host was outstanding and the challenge was the best we have ever experienced. A must do for anyone who likes the escape room experience!

Most of all I liked the atmosphere of this quest. It's great that you can solve all the puzzles only if you collaborate as a team. I was happy to see how different points of view and types of thinking helped us escape the room. I absolutely loved it!. Highly recommend!

Wow! Must do escape room. We have done dozens as a family and this was so amazing! The details, the immersion, the game masters ..what a great experience. We did this as part of a family vacation to Europe or we'd be back to check out all the rooms.

Nice room! We went with 6 people and everyone had things to do. I don’t have a lot of experience but this was one of the nicer rooms I have been in.

The Architect was a fun and immersive room. There were quite a few fun elements to this room but quite a lot were solvable pretty fast for the experienced players. We completed the room in about 30 minutes which is half the time for the entire game. The clues were given in a unique way however I felt we could have done without them. (Given that we were ahead of time) they seemed to not let you get through them enough or struggle enough before they would call you. This was what let the room down for us. The story was a little loose too given there's some great rooms in Amsterdam with better theme's and immersion. I would reccommend the room for sure, it's fun and quirky. I think a few minor tweaks and you'd be at 5* also in my opinion.
