What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

One of the best Escape Room experiences ever! The scene is beautiful and challenging. You need to really work together as a team, which is great. Overall vert impressive work!

Fab start to our break in Amsterdam you totally get lost in the experience! We even managed to crack it!

In a city most well known for all the 'leisure activities' it is refreshing to have something exciting and brain challeging at a stone throw away from the central station and dam square! I couldn't recommend this place more!

We visited Sherlocked during Christmas holidays, the location was perfect, in the middle of all the action. But I must say, maybe my expectations were to high because of all the 5 star Tripadvisor ratings. I think the price is to high for what you get. I loved the puzzles but sometimes logic missed. Guy who hosted the game was very nice

We have been to many escape rooms, but none come even close to this. The storyline. The actors. The design and the riddles. All perfectly join together for an amazing experience. Definitely, a must visit when in Amsterdam.

Great experience. Our group did the architect room and would highly recommend it. Best escape room we've done.

This was the first escaperoom for me. I really enjoyed finding the clues and solving the puzzles. The staff is very friendly and playing along with the story.

We visited the Sherlocked this week and completed the Architect room. From the moment our host met us and explained the history of the building the experience started. I don’t want to give anything away but the room is full of surprises and shocks! The music and decor of the room really set the atmosphere, and got my heart pounding at some points too!! Subtle hints from the host when needed. Would recommend for anyone wanting to do an escape room in Amsterdam to do this one! We had a fab time, thank you so much!!!

My friends and I who have each done 5-7 escape rooms each in all different European countries decided to give Sherlocked a try after reading promising reviews. Sadly, everyone left with a bad taste in their mouths and frustrated with the whole experience. You go in and learn about the impressive story and history of the building, then are introduced to the room. We soon realized the gamekeeper will use a phone to communicate with the group - no doubt designed to help you in the right direction (this concept is used in every escape room we have done). However, what it turned into was the gamekeeper calling us to stop messing with the old books, or stop touching this old item, don't touch the couch ect. We began to dread every time the phone rang because we knew it was to have us stop touching something. It eventually had us tiptoeing around the place. Keep in mind, we weren't being destructive, it's just that nothing is a prop, which blows my mind because I'm used to having everything in the room being fair game to hold and study. When we were done, the gamekeeper was not friendly and seemed generally annoyed with us. Do your yourself a favor and skip Sherlocked. We went to a couple other escape rooms in Amsterdam and had a blast. Check those out instead.

We had the pleasure of tackling The Architect tonight and give it our highest recommendation for all, but we will focus our comments towards other families with kids/teens. Our children are ages 9, 11, and 13yrs and we had done one "escape room" prior to this (the previous experience was helpful, but by no means necessary to enjoy this activity). The Architect adventure is exciting, challenging and surprising in numerous ways that reflect great creativity and originality. Everyone in our family was able to contribute and was entirely immersed in the experience. We would suggest that there be at least 2 adults for an adventure like this and definitely it is necessary that some of the kids are somewhat older (12yrs and above) so they can be more involved in puzzle solving. That said, younger children provide their unique perspective - and good ears and eyes that can sometimes be key to finding or solving something that adults struggle with. This is a fantastic way to spend time together as a family. It requires true teamwork and cooperation. Siblings need to support and listen to one another in order to be successful...and are thrilled by the fruits of their joint efforts! We hope others have as much fun as we did.
