What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Amazing experience with colleagues :)

Erg goed in elkaar gezet! Gaaf verhaal en verrassende elementen!

Go here and do it!!! After a one off escape room experience in london this place blew my mind! Myself and my bf did this as a couple and it was tough BUT we completed it and it was thrilling to use your mind in such a way. Really good for team building or friendship groups, hen or stags! The guy who was our narrator was so good, gripping and very in to his character! Thanks so much

Let me start by saying that Sherlocked is definitely one of the top escape rooms in the Netherlands.The room is well made and the location is fantastic. Not only it's right in the middle of the city center but also because the building itself lends to the story at hand. But even more importantly than that, the game play is exceptional. First time player would have an experience of a lifetime while escape room enthusiasts would appreciate the ingenuity. It's not a static room where one puzzle would simply lead to another. There are mechanics involved and their effects are quite a delight and there are many puzzle designs that are outside the box. You'd be pleasantly surprised quite often. So yes, do play this room. Highly recommended. Having said that, the room does have some holes in its choice of storyline. There is not much progression of the narrative during the game which is somehow salvaged by the explanation at the end but still it could have been better integrated to the design. The atmosphere is a bit lacking with the absence of sound and light play but this might actually be preferable for players who are not too keen on feeling too nervous during the game. The puzzles are challenging and success rate is only around 30%. They are not impossible but it might be frustrating for people who are not used to solving riddles and figuring out codes. Some clues unfortunately was made rather unnecessarily difficult as it is hard to even see or hear it clearly. Our team did manage to make it out (with 10 minutes to spare and without any hints given by the game master) but we were told that this was not usually the case and we couldn't help thinking that simply making some clues easier to read and others clearer to hear would help players a great deal. Last but not least, the host/game master could have been a tad friendlier. He never tried to learn our names and did not seem to be interested in finding out where we are from. We assumed this was because he opted to stay in role at all time which was commendable but role playing should not be in the expense of hospitality. When I played escape rooms at other establishments (either in the Netherlands or in other countries), the hosts were interested in finding out how you experienced the room and were eager to connect to you as fellow escape rooms enthusiasts. Neither I nor my team mates felt that connection here. Still, do try the game. It's that good to overlook these inconveniences. If the organizers are able to improve on these other aspects, though, I have no doubt it could be one of the best escape rooms not only in the Netherlands but the world.

Travelled as a party of 4 for a 50th Birthday, this was a first 'locked room' experience for any of us & we had no idea what to expect. Seems like a nutty thing to pay a decent sum of mobey to be locked in a room for an hour - turns out best decision we made all weekend! Excellent interactive attraction where nothing is as it seems. You need to work as a team & use all of your senses to ensure success. We achieved it with 1 minute to spare! recommended 100%

We visited here a few years ago to play The Architect: our first escape room. That was superb. And we’ve completed around 15 since all around the world. We had to try The Vault and all we can say is “wow”! From the moment it starts (outside of the actual building!) it is a fantastic ride, challenging, thrilling and exciting. Highly recommended.

We were 2 adults and a teenager for the Architect. The ideal is 4 or 5 people. We had a great time and the puzzles were very ingenious. The setting is extraordinary and the back story is well thought through. We've done two others in London and this was the best to date. We got close, but timed out. Another head would have been helpful (you will see why). You won't be disappointed!

This was our first escape room, we did enjoy it a lot. Our host, Claudia, did a great job telling us the secrets of the unknown. Try it yourself and you might find out the secrets, see you on the other side. Lovely host, creative room and wonderful experience!

Top. Wij hebben de architect gedaan. Heel erg goede escaperoom. Gave locatie!

Go. Incredible experience
