What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

This is the place to be if you are into the adventures of escape rooms! As a family, we scheduled all 3 of their rooms on one day and while it was mentally challenging, each game was fantastic and totally worth the investment and time. The rooms are spectacular, complex, linear and automated. All game masters were superb from the moment you step into the building to exiting it. We solved all 3 rooms and had a blast! Your escape journey is not complete if you don’t go to Amsterdam and you don’t get to do at least one of the rooms! We came at the recommendation it was best in the world—7 countries and 50 escape rooms later, we agree! #3/3 ✅

If you're visiting the city, or even are a local, with a group of people you want to have fun with, this experience is a no brainer. So entertaining that you'll be sad when the time is over. But no worries, there's a prize at the end if you did well! :)

Super activity to do to have some fun ! Really good one in the "Escape the room" field, a little different from a reguler "Escape" ! If you like those kind of game, definitely do this one !

We were 2 adults and a teenager for the Architect. The ideal is 4 or 5 people. We had a great time and the puzzles were very ingenious. The setting is extraordinary and the back story is well thought through. We've done two others in London and this was the best to date. We got close, but timed out. Another head would have been helpful (you will see why). You won't be disappointed!

Probably the best escape game we've done, and we did a lot!

My family (ages range from 16-74) and I had the opportunity to play both The Architect and The Vault. Both rooms were a major highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. It also worth mentioning the incredible customer service. On the day we were meant to play The Vault, there was an alarm going off and we were unable to play. They offered us a refund and allowed us to reschedule for the following day, for half of the price. The Architect was incredibly fun, challenging, and a great warm-up for The Vault. We escaped the room with a few seconds to spare. Although we weren't able to escape The Vault (apparently there is an 8% success rate), this was our favorite room! The roleplaying made this experience absolutely amazing. If you only have time for one room, I highly recommend The Vault. Beware, it's incredibly challenging.

Great experience one of the highlights of my holiday. Ibrahim and all the staff were amazing and made it feel very immersive. Would 100% recommend

I do not know where to start!!! This escape room was lit. I went yesterday with 3 friends and we did the Vault! There is a lot of climax already at the beginning, secret agent/James Bond vibe!!! It's very enigmatic, the riddles are fun and extremely difficult to solve, which makes this game excellent!!!! Another element that I like about this game is that it is extremely realistic, while adding some scary/stressful elements at the same time, hence improving our team coordination and the fun drastically!!!!! The staff is also extremely efficient and has done really well with the role play!!!! I will absolutely recommend this escape room!!!! Time to find the Vault...

Let me start by saying that Sherlocked is definitely one of the top escape rooms in the Netherlands.The room is well made and the location is fantastic. Not only it's right in the middle of the city center but also because the building itself lends to the story at hand. But even more importantly than that, the game play is exceptional. First time player would have an experience of a lifetime while escape room enthusiasts would appreciate the ingenuity. It's not a static room where one puzzle would simply lead to another. There are mechanics involved and their effects are quite a delight and there are many puzzle designs that are outside the box. You'd be pleasantly surprised quite often. So yes, do play this room. Highly recommended. Having said that, the room does have some holes in its choice of storyline. There is not much progression of the narrative during the game which is somehow salvaged by the explanation at the end but still it could have been better integrated to the design. The atmosphere is a bit lacking with the absence of sound and light play but this might actually be preferable for players who are not too keen on feeling too nervous during the game. The puzzles are challenging and success rate is only around 30%. They are not impossible but it might be frustrating for people who are not used to solving riddles and figuring out codes. Some clues unfortunately was made rather unnecessarily difficult as it is hard to even see or hear it clearly. Our team did manage to make it out (with 10 minutes to spare and without any hints given by the game master) but we were told that this was not usually the case and we couldn't help thinking that simply making some clues easier to read and others clearer to hear would help players a great deal. Last but not least, the host/game master could have been a tad friendlier. He never tried to learn our names and did not seem to be interested in finding out where we are from. We assumed this was because he opted to stay in role at all time which was commendable but role playing should not be in the expense of hospitality. When I played escape rooms at other establishments (either in the Netherlands or in other countries), the hosts were interested in finding out how you experienced the room and were eager to connect to you as fellow escape rooms enthusiasts. Neither I nor my team mates felt that connection here. Still, do try the game. It's that good to overlook these inconveniences. If the organizers are able to improve on these other aspects, though, I have no doubt it could be one of the best escape rooms not only in the Netherlands but the world.

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 ❤️
