What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

One of the best Escape Rooms I have ever been to. Enjoyed it!

An awesome escape room! This was my first time trying an escape room, and it was a great experience. They set the mood with a good story and authentic room, the escape itself had great riddles and was well put together, and demanded good teamwork. Can't wait till they finish their second room in this awesome building!

Great experience from beginning to the end. You feel like a real Sherlock Holmes trying to solve the mystery. Would definitely recommend this for everybody who can spare 1,5 hours!

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

This is absolutely amazing, a masterpiece! What an amazing experience! Thoughtful, exciting, fun, and lot of Eureka moments. Nicely instructed too, well as much as needed. You have to escape on your own in 90 minutes. Whether you are a tourist in Amsterdam or want a corporate team outing, this should absolutely be on your list. stars, loved it.

Soooo fun!!! My family and I had never done an escape room before and we absolutely loved the experience! It was the perfect amount of challenging, not too easy or too hard. There were 3 of us and unfortunately we didn’t get to the end, but we still had so much fun. The guide was also awesome and very friendly I would recommend The Architect to anyone. It was the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam!

cool escape room

This escape room was an awesome experience. Challenging puzzles and cool ambiance. Some rooms could use some better responsive technology, though

Great escape game - we did “The Architect”. From start to finish the instructor and the location draws you into the story.! Highly recommended! 5/5

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.
