What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Nice team building activity. Mentally challenging and exciting puzzle solving activities. Before going don't read up on what will happen in the room, could spoil your experience.

My family (my parents, 25 year old brother & his girlfriend) and I (22) have done somewhere between 15-20 escape rooms around the world, and all of us agree that this—the Vault— was our all time favorite. It was the perfect mix of physical searching and mental problem solving/games. It was also the right amount of linear in terms of moving from one clue to the next, which allowed everyone to be able to participate while still forcing us to all work together. There was also a little bit of role play involved, which they take as seriously as you do—we (and by that I mean mostly I) fully committed, but they rolled with the punches when we got the giggles at the end. The Vault’s storyline is rather unique the deeper you dive into the story (we also loved the pre-game interactions) and the location/set is incredible. I definitely recommend downloading the app they send you and playing the game ahead of time as it prepares you for the types of physical locks that you will be opening in the room. We were able to get out— the escape rate is 20%— and are proud members of the crossed keys club! Thank you so much again to Joella and Tom for an epic experience!

This was a great experience and I can only recommend it. The room was much bigger than expected, everything was very professionally set up with nice effects and challenging riddles to solve...we went with 4 people and did not manage to get out in the end...we will definitely go back to try the other room.

Completed the Alchemist tonight. Very impressive escape room: challenging puzzles, wonderful atmosphere and beautiful design. Had a great time!

This is a really fun thing to do with your Family! Worling together to solve all the puzzles. Wouter was a good host and led is through this amazing, technical high standard room.

We arrived early but were invited to sit and wait indoors in a really impressive hall. The woman conducting our experience was friendly and helpful and kept in character the whole way through. This room had a good flowing story and the puzzles were varied and exciting. We escaped with 3 mins to spare! Really good fun and definitely a good one to do with a bigger group

Wow! I've done a few escape rooms but none have ever been as incredibly immersive as The Vault was. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish and so exciting! Can't wait to try your newest one (when it's completed).

We did both rooms here within two weeks. The “Architect” deserves 5 stars as it was well done, logical and a great experience. We would definitely recommend this room!! With high hopes we also booked the “Vault”, which unfortunately was not great and very disappointing. It starts cool but as soon as you’re inside it’s not great. Pros: - great design and rooms Cons: - communicating with host only on walkie talkie and we couldn’t understand a word. If you’re not a native english speaker (and neither am I), you need to speak slowly and clearly. We had a male host at the “Architect”, who was great, the girl this time was awful - the hints we received were terrible and didn’t help but rather confused us - some elements (“the guard”) wasted so much time (seriously, 5 mins wasted!!!) and that shouldn’t happen - some puzzles were for one person, some for 4. this didn’t make sense - some puzzles are not logical at all (i have done over 30 escape rooms world wide) and are frustrating We felt overall very frustrated with the “Vault” as it’s obvious that there’s some good ideas but also some things that are not thought through. Huge time-wasting moments that couldn’t be skipped. We felt cheated of a good 10 mins of our time due to some lengthy parts (guard,sphinx speech). We felt like we could have solved it with a better host. We really wanted to love this room and with better hints and streamlining some of the puzzles it would be great but as it stands. I would not recommend this room. Do the “Architect” and you’ll be happy, great theme and very well done!

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

We did The Vault challenge and it was an absolute thrill! Unfortunately we can't say too much about it, but the atmosphere was great and it was very well put together. We didn't make it in time, but since it may be one of the most complex escape room game in the world according to the creators, the experience itself made justice.
