What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We loved the room with all the nice details, it is a very fun way to spend the hour. You will have to crack the nut, but it is doable. Location is great if you would like to have a drink, enough bars in the area. A lot of fun but a bit pricy, although they are cheaper during weekdays. Cindy B.

I booked several corporate events and team outings at Sherlocked. After going through the game, whether the teams completed it or not, they came out full of energy and adrenaline and could not stop talking about how cool the experience was for days. Further, on several occasions, we had to cancel and re-schedule meeting due to our own planning complications. It was a really bad headache for several weeks but the Sherlocked team went above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling hassles. I mean, really, in a few cases we had to be a very terrible customer I am very grateful that Sherlocked took it all in stride so that our events could be successful. So please don't read this and think it will be ok to abuse the Sherlocked team's kindness and professionalism. :-) I was just very relieved at how well taken-care of we were in a city that is not known for outstanding customer service.

Cant rate this place enough, really good fun. One of the better activities to do in Amsterdam in my opinion

When I was a kid growing up in the 90s I was entranced by the video game MYST. With its beautiful sound design and ambient puzzle worlds, it was an amazing alternative to other computer games of its time. Fast forward to 2015 where an ingenious team has put together Sherlocked – a delightful experience in which puzzles are embedded in the physical artifacts and architecture of an elegant and mysterious confined space. The main difference, aside from digital/analog? Time. The clock ticks down just over an hour until you and your teammates can escape the mysterious chambers. In fact our team failed to solve the mystery – we got very very close! – but we still had an awesome time.

We hadn't done one of these before so was not sure what to expect but now would highly recommend. We didn't manage to get out in the allocated time but had an absolutely fab time trying. It was great working together to solve the clues and we are still talking about it and planning another.

I booked The Architect as a finale to a 2-day city trip for myself and my 15 year old daughter. She was a little apprehensive but was soon put at ease by the warm welcome. We got to work quickly and made great progress, then BAM we were stuck! With some gentle guidance we were soon back on track. We had thought being a mum & daughter team of 2 would be a disadvantage but no, all the information you need really is there - you just need to think laterally. Totally recommended.

My friends and I who have each done 5-7 escape rooms each in all different European countries decided to give Sherlocked a try after reading promising reviews. Sadly, everyone left with a bad taste in their mouths and frustrated with the whole experience. You go in and learn about the impressive story and history of the building, then are introduced to the room. We soon realized the gamekeeper will use a phone to communicate with the group - no doubt designed to help you in the right direction (this concept is used in every escape room we have done). However, what it turned into was the gamekeeper calling us to stop messing with the old books, or stop touching this old item, don't touch the couch ect. We began to dread every time the phone rang because we knew it was to have us stop touching something. It eventually had us tiptoeing around the place. Keep in mind, we weren't being destructive, it's just that nothing is a prop, which blows my mind because I'm used to having everything in the room being fair game to hold and study. When we were done, the gamekeeper was not friendly and seemed generally annoyed with us. Do your yourself a favor and skip Sherlocked. We went to a couple other escape rooms in Amsterdam and had a blast. Check those out instead.

Great staff and interesting enigmas, definitely to try !

My partner and I played "The Architect" after Sherlocked was recommended to us on our Amsterdam trip. Man, this escape room was mindblowing. We have played our fair share of ESCrooms, but this one topped most of them. Great riddles, everything made sense and wasn't too easy, but still solvable. Our game master was very helpful as well. We will definitely return to play "The Vault"!!
