What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

What a fantastic time we had in the vault! The experience was much more intense than I expected but I loved every step of the way! The location is fantastic, the team-work aspect is central and the difficulty of the task is well calibrated!

We went to “The Vault” escape room at Sherlocked with the bar set very high, and they somehow exceeded those expectations. It’s not just an escape room, but a comprehensive experience — wayy more elaborate than we expected it to be, and all of the guards and supervisors involved in roleplay in the escape room were in character the whole time. It also seemed pretty beginner friendly though complex; our group of 6 was able to crack a lot of the clues with barely any prior experience, with the assistance of the person on the other end of the walkie talkie, who gave out hints on next steps without giving away too much about what we were supposed to do. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’re looking forward to coming here again to try one of the other rooms they have to offer.

I’ve now done all 3 escape rooms and can only highly recommend each of them! Every time I’ve been blown away by the attention to detail the team puts into the set design and puzzles. Their latest room The Alchemist is incredibly creative & well done. I am in awe!!!

"Sherlocked" was my first escape room and I loved it. I did several others throughout the Netherlands which all seemed pretty much the same but "The Vault" is next level, Escape Room 2.0! I allready got excited after the introduction video and the starting location, and from there on it only got better. You have to put in effort to get started, there are actors involved, the puzzles are creative, hard to solve and the storyline is amazing. This truly is the best Escape Room I've ever been to, and I doubt I'll ever get to do a better one.

He pulled us into the story and happening immediately, and that made it all the more mysterious and exciting. We got taken through a random door and after walking the stairs, we were left up to our own devices. This was for The Alchemist and set a new standard for escape rooms. Amazing experience, amazing staff. Highly recommend, even if the theme of The Alchemist doesn't appeal to you, you can pick one of their other experiences. Make sure to bring a smart group of friends/family :)

I went to this game with 5 friends at midnight. It's our first real-life escape game experience, we totally don't know what to expect and are afraid that we are not able to escape from the room within the allocated time. I heard and saw in the review that it's pretty cool activity, and in the end of game, we made it with 3 minutes left!! I can't say much detail about the game, but it's highly recommended activity! Love all the details, the puzzles, stories, and old designs. Everything falls perfectly to get the suspense ambience yet exciting at the same time once uncovering all the clues. Not to mention, the most important thing is I am still mesmerized by this after the game ended and want to write nice review about it (it's my first review, usually I never write a review because there is never something that makes me hooked so much afterwards!!). Looking forward to their next escape game for sure.

I extended my stay in Amsterdam just to try this activity. It was definitely worth it. The puzzles were fun and challenging. The host helped us when we were stuck, and she did great job into getting us in the vibe. Any person staying in Amsterdam should put this activity on their to-do list.

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.

Great experience, we were so into it we didn't see time pass and failed to complete it.

My daughter and I attempted the Architect and though we weren't successful we thoroughly enjoyed the game. We were told that it was a difficult game to complete with only 2 people, but I don't see how having more would help. Perhaps more people are needed toward the end of the game. It is definitely one of the better escape rooms that I've done in that the challenges are clear but tricky. I had a tendency to overthink the clues and that slowed us down. I would very much recommend this escape room because it was not only fun but ideally located in the heart of the city in a beautiful building.
