What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We did "the architect" with a couple of friends. For most of us this was our first escape room so we did not really know what to expect. The room itself is beautifully decorated and you're immediately immersed into the earlier part of the 1900s. The puzzles were fun and challenging, but certainly not impossible to solve. However teamwork and communication are key! We managed to get out with a few minutes to spare.

We did not enjoy "The Architect room".

I have no doubt that Sherlocked is one of, if not the best, escape room in Amsterdam. We were a group of 6 and it was plenty challenging for us and so much fun! The room is well thought through and the presentation beforehand was great to help set the frame. Would definitely recommend to anyone who love a great escape room experience!

We visited Sherlocked The Architect and absolutely loved it! There’s lots going on, so with a group of 5 people we were all occupied with puzzles and riddles. We really enjoyed ourselves! I do have to be honest and say that a few things weren’t working as they should and whilst that didn’t take any of the fun out of it for us - for the price you pay, I feel everything should work 100%. Still, very much recommended!

Our group had no idea what exactly to expect. The whole concept is shrouded in secrecy and mystery, which made the whole experience even better in the end. It was a perfect combination of adventure, teamwork, and mystery-solving for our team. Although we were with a group of friends, I'm sure this would also be perfect as a teambuilding activity. Our game master was a great storyteller, who really made us dive us into the story around the experience. Also, the location is brilliant, in the cellars of one of the oldest stock-market exchanges in the world! It's really close to the central station and many bars, so obviously we went for a beer after our escape to recap on the experience. Perfectly built escape room, and the best experience we've had in Amsterdam!

My wife and I have done several escape rooms throughout Europe, this one was probably the best thought out. Because we travel alone, we end up doing escape rooms for three with just the two of us and usually we are okay. That was definitely not the case here, this room was hard and you really need at least three people, better would be five. We didn't make it out in time, but we were told that it would be almost impossible for two people, so that's not on them The amount of thought and care that was put into this room is impressive. The types of locks and puzzles varied which is rare for rooms, and the level of communication needed it great. All things lacking in most escape rooms. If you can only visit one escape room, this is the one. I only wish they would bring this to the US, as our escape rooms are terrible compared to European ones, especially this one. Great job, Can't wait to go back with a bigger group and tackle the Vault.

The Vault - first ever break-in experienced and really was the best type of 'escape room' that we have played. The whole set up; location, staff, timing, props, puzzles... everything was so well thought out and put together! Really cannot recommend this experience enough, you HAVE to try this out!!

Escape room- The Architect - I've never done anything like this before. I spent 1 hour as a team member in a break out of Hendrick Berlage's office. It was really fun mystery. The time passed very quickly. The last 10 minutes was really exciting as everything came together.

Awesome!!!! Incredible staging and challenges!!! Found this on a list of Top 10 in the World escape rooms and it lived up to it!!

Of course I can't say too much without spoilers, but I took part in The Vault in a group of 7. The Vault's additional interactive elements absolutely make it different to other escape room experiences. I would love to see what the team could do if they were given free rein to make it even more interactive. It could even define an entire new genre of 'Live action escape room'. For people who are used to escape rooms, The Vault contains the same style of exploration as you'd otherwise expect, drawing on the exact same set of skills and teamwork, but with the additional immersive opportunity to assume a persona to whatever extent you wish, if you'd find that fun. I feel that all the puzzles' solutions were entirely reasonable (we've all experienced 'that one puzzle' in some escape room somewhere which feels like too much of a stretch, right?) Bravo, Sherlocked. I'm going to remember your room for a while.
