What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Superb experience which we all enjoyed immensely. Challenging but absolutely logical. The host was great. And I'm enjoying wearing my emblem proving we cracked the room in less than 60 minutes!

The Architect is the first escape room ever tried. We went by 2 despite the reviews saying that you need to be a bigger group. In fact we completed 95% of it but before last clue the 60 min timer was up. There are pros/cons in any size as if you're a bigger no. might be harder to coordinate and get ppl to work together. Anyway..the clues and how it works is really great as it makes you pick up your common sense and knowledge under time pressure. There's a good balance of using all riddles, scents, music, sequences, etc.

My friends and I have played a few escape rooms before and this is by far the best experience. They have very friendly and helpful staff. The background story really helps us to get into the game. All the props/tricks are so amazing. We had so much fun and definitely a MUST-GO for everyone.

This was the third escape room I’ve ever done, and it is by far the most immersive and well-themed. Everything about it was high quality from the room itself, to the lighting and the music, to the puzzles. Quite some clever ones in there! The staff was also amazing, and even though we didn’t finish the escape room on time, our game master still showed us the next step that we would’ve reached. At the end we received a 25 euro gift card and a picture! Awesome!

The Architect is the easier one to do. You start in one room and have to get out. Really good experience. The Vault is half an hour longer where you must break into a Vault. This experience was amazing, very exciting and an adrenaline rush! we missed the exit just by 20 seconds..

We were in the Alchemist with 4 people and at the same time the other 4 people from us, were in the vault. And the groups all agree. It was the best escape room we have ever visited. No matter which one, both were very well thought out and unique in their own way. The story had a common thread from A to Z.

We are a family of four with two children aged 15 and 11. Everyone thought this was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. It is based in an old building about 5 minutes walk from the station. Without giving too much away, you are put in a locked room and have to find your way out. It is not claustrophobic or scary and very much like the many escape games you can play on apps. It becomes apparent that you are being watched all the time and there is a phone in the room in the which you can contact the organiser and vice versa. He phones up periodically and offers hints (which you do not have to take if you don't want to) to help you on your way. There is time pressure (for some reason you are given 67 minutes exactly). Everyone can participate and everyone can contribute. First rate activity which everyone in our family though was one of the highlights of our trip. They even take a photo of your group at the end and email it to you, which is a nice touch.

You’re 4 art dealers trying to break into a vault – that’s all I can say without spoiling too much. We had the time of our life! Make sure to be in the right mind set – it’s way more fun if you go along with the story and let the surroundings (an actual underground vault) and the atmosphere inspire you. Money well spent for the thrill you get! Special shout-out to the people running this place for their acting skills – very convincing!

We were three friends who booked the Architect room. We've tried out some escape rooms prior to this, but nothing has compared so far! The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable - with everything from the friendly hosts to the meticulous details in the room, to the emotional rollercoaster well tuned to the storyline. You won't want to leave even when you've succeeded the mission ;) Highly recommended!

We were a group of friends, one group tried to break out while the others were on a different game. The objective for us was not only to fulfil the task but to beat our friends time!! We were greeted, given an overview of the story and then placed in the room. What fun. We were lucky enough to escape and when we heard our friends hadn't solved their clues in time it was even better !! Definitely recommend this activity. A great way to spend an hour or two with friends!
