What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

We did the architect, and it was not one of my best escaperoom experiences. We were stuck on some steps, and the hints we needed were useless. One of the hints was to look better.. we looked for 15 minutes and that was all we got. Also the sound of the music we needed to hear was so soft we had to keep replaying before we coud hear a hint, and the helper her english was difficult to understand when she gave a hint, and soft to hear. If you are bad with guessing smells this escape room is also not for you edit to owner: We played last friday night

I have done other escape rooms in the past but this one is most amazing one yet. The game from the start after you book it gets you excited and in the zone. This room in particular was very hard and requires a-lot of time hence it was an hour and 20 minutes instead of one hour. Although we could’t finish it on time, it was a really fun time there and we enjoyed the game very much. I would definitely recommend it!

I just can say “wow” what an experience. Incredible rooms and fantastic stories. We just came from Switzerland for this escape rooms.

We went as a group of 5. We found this just the right level of challenging, and we got so into it it was really exciting whenever we solved a puzzle. Got out just in time! Originally I had booked for The Vault (the newer room), but was emailed beforehand to inform us that our allocated time had been changed from 8.30pm to 10pm, and that we were doing the older escape room instead, as the newer one was not ready yet. I didn't mind though, because in the end we still loved it. This was our first time, but we would definitely do more in future.

I'm still blown away! We made it with 5 minutes to spare and even when you think you made it out at last, you are mistaken ... This was definitely one of the most thrilling and amazing experiences of my life! It's an absolute blast! A crazy ride from the first to the last second!

Played the Vault this weekend. Amazing escaperoom!!! Loved it from start to finish!!

I was visiting Amsterdam with some friends and it was a fun way to learn a bit about the city's mysterious history. Most of all, the room is really well made and challenging as well as exciting in many ways. Don't miss it!

The Vault, Ongelofelijk leuk om te doen. Spannende afwisselingen en goede spanningsboog. Ik zal niet te veel verklappen maar het kleinste foutje kan je al te veel tijd kosten, wat het des te moeilijker maakt. Dus als je houd van een uitdaging, ECHT EEN AANRADER. De hele sfeer, acteer werk, opbouw, was fantastisch. We hebben het helaas niet gehaald maar des ondanks erg genoten!

My husband and I are driving through Europe and we did our first escape room in Hamburg two days ago and we were hooked! So with roughly 20 hours to spend in Amsterdam, we thought we’d try another escape room. It was worth every penny! We picked Sherlocked based on TripAdvisor reviews. Despite being number 3 overall (at the moment!), it had over 1,000 reviews and over 900 were excellent. Also, the reviews indicated that the experience involved more puzzles rather than an endless series of lock combinations, which really appealed to us. Our game master, Armando, greeted us at the door and did a great job telling the story and getting us into character with his clever tale of secret societies and hidden rooms. His English was phenomenal and his story telling skills were excellent. There was no role playing, per se. The background story served to explain the purpose of the room, but it wasn’t silly or stupid at all. The puzzles were fun and varied. There were some classic pattern recognition games, but there were also a variety of really creative games that involved using all five of our senses! I won’t say more for fear of spoiling it, but we highly recommend this room. It was challenging and we didn’t finish (got stuck on one clue for the last 10 minutes or so), but we really enjoyed the ones we did solve. It is hard to manage your time well with only 2 people, and we were told the success rate for groups of 2 is 15 to 20 percent and we were apparently 80 percent finished, so we felt good about our efforts!! I’d imagine this would be even more fun with 3 or 4 people. p.s. I went back and read the “terrible” and “poor” reviews and the majority appear to be old so my assumption is that they don’t apply because ours was neither confusing nor a role playing game and our game master could not be more pleasant or polite.

Both really good fun with for different reasons. Kids really enjoyed to! The Vault - was fun and the opposite to an escape room. You need to break in. Thanks - Black Dragon
