What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Didn’t feel like a traditional escape room where you just solve everything alone. Felt more like I’m in a story and I constantly have to talk to the instructor to continue forward.

I highly reccomend doing Escape rooms - Sherlocked while in Amsterdam. This is my second time coming here so i have now done both escapes that are on offer. Both are absolutely brilliant. Every single detail is thought out! Great set, great gamemaster and overall great story! I give this 10/10

Very interesting idea and rooms. We reserved both of the rooms but we didn't finish any of them :)). Anyway, you should try this ! It was a lot of fun!

The actors did a really great job and the whole experience was very immersive! Recommend to anyone who enjoy escape rooms to try this break-in version!

Sherlocked is located at the Beurs van Berlage which is a five minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. You will find the entrance at the Beursplein, next to the café opposite to 'de Bijenkorf'. Make yourself known by ringing the bell. The host will pick you up at the door and, after greeting you, will guide you to a place where you can leave all jackets, bags, and valuables. All valuables as well as bags are left in containers which will be locked so don't worry about anything getting stolen. After storing your belongings the host will guide you to the catacombs of the Beurs van Berlage and will tell you the story about the Beurs van Berlage after which the challenge will start. We played The Architect, which was absolutely terrific. The room is decorated beautifully with the decor completely fitting the early 1900s style of the Beurs van Berlage. The puzzles and riddles are not too easy and have been thought out very well. Clues provide hints in a very cryptic manner causing one to really think twice. Opposed to other escape rooms puzzles and riddles are diverse requiring the players to use all their senses. Hints are provided through an old fashioned phone in the room. Puzzles aren't necessarily lineair meaning players can work simultaneously on solving different mysteries. We were with five, which felt like an ideal team size. Unfortunately we did not manage to escape within 60 minutes as we got stuck in the last fiveteen minutes despite being very very close. Escaping, however, isn't impossible within the hour, just be sure to stay calm, think clear and retrace the steps you've taken. According to the host 60% of the players manage to escape within the hour. Despite failing to escape we had the time of our lives. Playing Sherlocked is a great experience and I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a great activity with friends to play this game. We will definitely come back to play The Vault! I think Sherlocked really lives up to its promise of being among the best escape rooms in the Netherlands. Hopefully the portfolio will be expanded beyond The Architect, The Vault and (currently) The Port Game.

One of the best experiences I ever had in Amsterdam! I would recommend this to everyone, it's an adventure you will never forget!

All but one of us came straight from the airport off a overnight flight - from North or South America (7 or 14 hr flight !). This was certainly a nice energy jolt, keeping us on the hunt all the time. Location is great - right between Centraal Station and Dam Square - would be perfect if you have a couple of hours to spare. Have to book in advance - place fills up fast, esp. during weekends.

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!

We had an amazing time with Sherlocked! We did the vault and it was a great escaping experience not just a normal escape room where you complete some puzzles and you're done. They really put in the effort to make this a fun experience from the starting location right till the ending of the room (which i will not spoil) the actors are also a lot of fun and really take their job seriously and add a lot to the excitement in and out of the time that you're in the room. We've had a great time with Sherlocked and will be back for the other room.

I'm a game designer, this is what I do for a living - and believe me, few games had me as impressed as this amazing Escape the Room in Amsterdam. We tried the "Vault" experience and it was really an amazing time. This is an absolute must see!
