What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We did "The Architect" and the game itself was fun and challenging, but we weren't warned that the game is slightly uncomfortable to play in a group of 3 people. The host wasn't paying us a lot of attention so when we got stumped we were stuck for a little while, but was otherwise very kind :)

We had our team (5p) event at the Architect rooms and everybody had a great team. Challenging puzzles for experienced escapees and first timers with different technical tricks and solutions I personally haven't seen yet. We got helped twice by Yoka and it was right at the right time and the right amount of help as she still didn't make it easy. We got out 8 minutes before our time ran out and now proudly carry our secret society pins. The location is also as perfect as it gets.

Last year we tried Sherlocked first escape game and we loved it. This year we came back for their new room and I must say, we where disappointed, maybe because we expected to much for the price we paid (149 euro is a lot). The idea of a breaking is nice and the beginning very good (I'm not going to put in spoilers) but it did not kept our attention till the end.

Three of us did The Vault and it is currently ranked as my top escape room! Much more immersive than the vast majority of escape rooms. It was a real adventure. Loved the types and variety of puzzles. Gunnar was an AWESOME host. Can’t recommend this one more highly! Even if you are an experienced player, you will enjoy this.

Very cool, logic needed!

We visited twice, to go to both escape rooms. Both are awesome! A great, historic, atmosphere, partially due to the integration into the beautiful Beurs van Berlage building and the way story-telling is woven into the experience and smart puzzles! The two escape rooms differ im difficulty but I would recommend both to anyone looking for a challenging, atmospheric experience!

Totally enjoyed the whole experience! The setting was great and the riddles and games were fun! Will definitely do this again in another city.

The original "Sherlocked" escape room in the basement of Amsterdam's old stock exchange is an incredible adventure. Beautifully designed up to the smallest details, the approximately hour-long experience manages to give you the sensation that everything - EVERYTHING - is possible. Intricately thought-out and meticulously constructed surprises and puzzels await you at every turn. It's a 360-degree world of mystery and intrigue that I wish I could have never left - and I secretly hate myself and my team members for almost having broken the speed record; we could've been revelling in the room's glory even longer! Can't wait for their new - and supposedly even more mind-boggling - escape room to open this winter. Go get Sherlocked!

Our family did the new Vault room this past weekend. We had previously done the architect room at Sherlocked in the past and had loved the experience so we had high expectations, but sadly the sequel room was not on the same level as their first room. Without giving anything away, a number of puzzles in the room were not quite working, the interactions with the guides is via walkie talkie and poor in-room speakers and is difficult to understand and is quite disruptive to the flow of the game, the space is much larger and just does not have the same feel as the first room. We knew within the first few minutes this was going to be a different experience. They are still in the beta phase with this new room, and "are still working out the bugs", but fail to mention when you sign up that not everything will be working. Even if they get the bugs worked out, it will still fall short of the the first room (which was really great). If you are in Amsterdam and want to do an escape room try the Architect room at Sherlock, but skip the Vault.

We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children, a 7 year old and a 3 year old. Obviously the 3 year old was too young and we entertained him with a game on a phone for most of the time, though he was interested and came to check in with what we were doing every now and then. But our 7 year old loved it. With the help of the adults was easily able to understand the challenges and solved several of the puzzles herself. Lots of wow moments, lots of laughs and overall a great experience for the adults and kids in our group. For reference we did the Architect room.
