What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Without spoiling it, this room has a fabulous rate of return. You’ll be invested in meticulously constructed puzzles, taking you on ups and downs - but don’t cash out too soon, and resist the temptation to ask for clues, this game rewards patience, communication, and attention to detail. From the moment you walk in to Amsterdam’s old stock exchange, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile by the (excellent) team, and faced with a room that’s in the perfect setting, well plotted, and is non stop. You’ll sniff out success best in a group of 3-4, we were 2 and just about managed it (but one of us is a bona fide genius…it says here). Be warned : brute force can REALLY count against you here. The value of your investment may go up as well as down ;-) Summary: fabulous concept, well executed, great activity even for a first timer in an escape room.

Brilliant escape room, great for team building and loads of fun

I didn't have a clue what to expect from the Vault when I was told I would be doing it. I always wondered how escape rooms could really work as an experience - I always though it was just puzzles you had to solve to get out. Well - yes and no! While there were plenty of puzzles, it was made an experience by the people involved in the organisation of the Vault who made us almost instantly feel like we were actually part of the story - scared, happy, incredibly nervous, and all on cue. If you want to step out of your world and into a story in which you're the hero (hopefully), then step into the Vault!

This was the fifth escape room I've done on my travels and Sherlocked was definitely the most exciting and challening. Really original concepts and fantastic attention to detail in set design and puzzles. From the moment you walk through the large door into the old historical building you feel like the game has already begun. You dont have to be a mastermind to complete the game and escape, its just takes some thinking outside of the box and teamwork. Great activity for the whole family or with a bunch of random people you've just met traveling, as I did. Definitely a highlight of my time in Amsterdam, don't miss it.

One of the best escape rooms I have ever visited. We did the alchemist and the room had really clever clues and the technology was very well made. Our host also was really amazing! So enthusiastic, encouraging and charismatic. Would 100% recommend you do this, it’s well worth the price.

Game Master ruined it for us. Wouldn't help when we needed to let our 3 year old child pee... Rushed us in, rushed us out.

We arrived a little late. The staff were super in getting us settled and started. Some of the kids had done other escape rooms before but said this was really well done. The place is really well done. It's really nice that they take a photo of you group after. Highly recommended. It's not cheap but it's value for money.

I've done the architect last year which was super back then and recently The Vault. I can't put into words how awesome this break-in experience was. By far the best escaperoom I've done so far in the NL. Break wrecking puzzles, some very inventive technical aspects and the most impressive surroundings you can imagine. They have the coolest gigantic save I've ever seen. If you go to Amsterdam this should be one of the few things you shouldn't miss!

Great fun. Good way to bond with friends. Booked online and host was expecting us. Smooth experience.
