We did the architect, and it was not one of my best escaperoom experiences. We were stuck on some steps, and the hints we needed were useless. One of the hints was to look better.. we looked for 15 minutes and that was all we got. Also the sound of the music we needed to hear was so soft we had to keep replaying before we coud hear a hint, and the helper her english was difficult to understand when she gave a hint, and soft to hear. If you are bad with guessing smells this escape room is also not for you edit to owner: We played last friday night

Had a great time

This was my fist time I did anything like this, I really enjoyed myself. Interesting location in the old stock exchange as well. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do something a little different in Amsterdam .

Brilliant hours entertainment

Booked the Architect ahead of our visit to Amsterdam and couldn't have been happier. The staff to begin with were amazing, ringing to remind us of our booking on the day, and then giving us time when we arrived late. The room and game are really we laid out, with loads to do in the hour to solve the puzzle. This is a must do when in Amsterdam, we completed as a couple but more could do the puzzle together.

After over 500 rooms, I have a new favorite game - Sherlocked's The Alchemist. The set design, technology, and special effects, are all woven together to create an experience that is designed to inspire wonder. If I was rating the room on puzzles alone, it would already be an above-average escape room. They are a nice medium level of difficulty -- non-trivial, but not so complex as to be tedious or frustrating. We solved them as a team of 2 players without issue. Many of the solutions result in very satisfying payoffs, and are well integrated into the story. I was practically in tears at the beauty of the finale. The Alchemist stands head and shoulders over the hundreds of other games I've played all around the world.

WOW

My first Escape Game experience and i was not expecting that. As far as i was concerned there would be some riddles and hidden keys, but i could not be farther from the truth. Amazing challenge and unfortunately we did not do it. Maybe next time!

Highlight of my entire trip to Amsterdam

My friends and I were lucky enough to get to play The Architect and The Vault back to back during our trip to Amsterdam. It's hard to not just rant incoherently about what an amazing time we had so I'll break it down into parts. The Staff Professionalism at its finest, we arrived at the requested meeting time and were greeted and welcomed warmly. Simon and Victor walked us through getting ready for the Architect while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. They were polite and helpful with our questions and took a moment in the hectic time of getting everything sorted to keep us entertained with pleasant small talk while we waited. After seeing the rooms its clear how much work goes into hosting, coordinating and assisting each room. This staff is top notch and deserves every bit of praise I can muster. The Rooms The Architect is a stunning masterpiece of an escape room, it provides a strong meta that flows flawlessly in one of the most beautiful spaces I have ever experienced in a room. It's not super clear from the description but the room is housed in the basement of the historic Beurs van Berlage. Most rooms are in a rented office space with some pop up walls, definitely not the case here. Every detail of the room is the highest quality, each prop is handcrafted to fit the aesthetic and function of the space; it's totally awe inspiring. This is a "must do" for any fan of escape rooms, period. The Vault offered an experience I have wanted out of a escape room for years. It's an immersive and engaging story, that rewards you the more you buy into the adventure. The room is challenging and incredibly rewarding ever step of the way, the lead up to the room is almost as fun as the room itself, be sure to take every bit of advice you are given by them. Overall Experience It's pretty clear to me that these rooms rank as some of the best I have done and are must do rooms. If you are in Amsterdam or near by and call yourself a fan of escape rooms, make it a priority to visit.
