I’m not an escape room person, so when it was suggested as an activity I resisted, but the Alchemist changed my mind. Fun, clever, mysterious, magical, and most important to me, a wonderful way to bond with family and friends. The set is stunning, the ritual seamless, and the storytelling so well crafted. And if you’re a person who looks for transformation, this journey plays out on subtle and unexpectedly wonderful levels of mind, body and spirit. Appreciation and kudos to the creators, clearly this is an undertaking of next level passion and detail far far beyond expectations. I cannot recommend enough to visitors and locals alike.

Had a great day doing this escape room. Love the scenery and the integration in this iconic building. It will take around an hour to do this escape room (if you're quick enough)

I was gifted a voucher to the Alchemist escape room and it was one of the best escape rooms we have ever done (and we’ve done a lot)! AMAZING set design, logical puzzles and interesting storyline, and Alessandra was such an attentive and witty game master! LOVED every part of it ❤️

The best escape room experience

This was defenitely the best escape room experience I ever had. Complex puzzles, scary effects, secret chambers, everything was there. Brilliant experience. We had so much fun with our team.

A MUST DO IN!

After hearing a lot about escape rooms, we thought it was a must do for us, we researched and came across, Sherlocked mystery experience. We booked 'The Vault' experience for 4 people very easy, I was very impressed with the communication from them, for instance they emailed me to check I understood where to meet and to confirm my phone number to be contacted. The morning of the experience I was quite nervous but as soon as it started we were fully engaged! Its just so well put together, and the team were also so helpful in some clues to guide us along the way. The set was out of this world and felt like we were in a movie set. None of us would hesitate on doing another one of Sherlocked experiences, we even tried to book another one the next day but there was no availability....ah well looks like we are heading back to Amsterdam ;-)

The Alchemist escape room is simply amazing. From the moment you step in, you're transported into a magical world where every little detail adds to the overall experience. It's hands down the best escape room I've ever tried. The room design is like a work of art, blending mystery and fantasy seamlessly. The puzzles aren't just challenges; they're part of a exhilarating story. It feels like you're on a journey, with every object and symbol leading you to unravel a captivating mystery. The puzzles are just right – not too hard, not too easy. They're creative and diverse, so everyone in the team can get involved. Teamwork is key, and each puzzle contributes to the bigger picture. The creators really went all out to make sure you have a memorable experience. The atmosphere, sound effects, and visuals all work together to make you feel like you're in a different world. It's not just about getting out of a room; it's about going on a magical adventure.

""Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary" said he."

This was absolutely fantastic! We were with a group of 6 and were grateful to have a mix of ages... the 16 year old and 10 year old were a real asset ; ). Fun in retrospect to think about everyone's different puzzling perspectives and abilities. The guide was super friendly, the space and whole experience is well thought out and executed fabulously. We didn't quite solve it in the allotted time, so a wee bit of dissapointment for that, but would do it again in a heartbeat. Can't say enough about how much we loved it and we are so looking forward to the new room they will be opening in...June?

Great group activity

Warm welcome, enthusiastic intro, activities which brought us together, challenged us to think but all doable. It was really good fun we did the architect puzzle with two parents and two children(!) (21 and 17). The café next door also good

The architect- fun but tough room

The bottom line is that this is a creative and fum room. In my opinion too tough for a couple, even for a couple with experience in escape rooms like us. Another issue is the price , not sure this was worth 129 euro. But the challenges were creative, the operator took the role seriously, I wish he would have helped us more instead of opening the door for us when we ran out of time .

Sherlocked Indubitably

Spent a 3 day trip in the Dam on a Stag do for my youngest son, he booked a lock in game at SHERLOCKED what a great experience 6 of us took the challenge and managed to complete it. No secrets given away except to say GO FOR IT a very brilliant game that will test your skills in a set time. Worth every Euro.... we are looking for other Sherlock puzzles around the World The Challenge is On do try it you'll be hooked
