What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam

Me and my team of four had a great time! We managed to get out but it was not easy, we made use of full hour. Sherlocked is perfect for the team building events.

Our group did the Vault and the Architect on two consecutive days. The Vault: Never before had we played an escape room with actors. What a difference! We had such a blast! Don't worry, they give you 90 minutes (which start when you are contacted at the meeting point) so in spite of the interaction with the actors you will have the regular amount of alone-time in the escape room. But the experience is much more story-driven than the normal search-the-room-adventure. Be prepared to be a thief and to do awesome thief stuff that you only know from the movies. And reserve some moments to marvel at the awe-inspiring location that is the Beurs van Berlage. So different to the apartment rooms most escape rooms have. But if you want to enjoy this to the fullest then get into character, interact with the actors, be prepared to talk yourself out of and into situations and don't forget to talk to your "contractor". I am still reliving the experience with more ideas on who to be, how to act and what to say. I might even do the room a second time to a) get through to the end (yes, we failed) and b) to be as relaxed and quick-witted around the actors as my husband. Big shout-out to our host Caesar: You rock! I still wish we had gotten you involved at the end to scare you-know-who with doing you-know-what. With the kindest of regards, Magdalena from Germany ;) The Architect: In comparison, this is more of a classic escape room. But it is a marvellous setting (again, the Beurs van Berlage), the riddles are non-repetitive and creative and it ends with the best key we ever found in an escape room. Finding the right lock for it was driving us mad and when we finally made the discovery it was exhilarating. We made it out in time and we carry our award with pride. Sherlocked, you need more escape room! ;)

Both escape rooms that I was able to enjoy were very nice. Starting off with the architect there were some nice good puzzles and the room did have some moments of surprises which were impressively done. Continuing our way later with The Vault this one was the one where the immersion was very high and well done. The way we were handled by the staff was very well done and big compliments! Made the whole experience that much more impressive. Overall where the puzzles doable and enjoyable. Sometimes here and there a pickup with locks which could also have been on our side but it didn't put the experience to shame. I would recommend it if you like good mystery/adventure rooms!

Great experience: location, storyline (the architect) and instructor takes this escape room experience to the next level!

Me and my friends just finished The Vault by Sherlocked. This was my first ‘escape room’ experience and it dragged me all the way in. The Vault was exciting from start to end, definite recommendation!

As one of the first ones attending the Sherlocked Escape room, I can say it exceeded all expectations I had. Feeling liberated at every step in the puzzle, a feeling I only get when I win a 6 hours board game, the feeling of solving these puzzles together is so incredibly rewarding. To be active with your hands and head, together your friends... wow! I can recommend this to anyone, and I want to do more and more and more escape rooms! :D

Five friends and me took on the challenge of Sherlocked. Your experience actually starts when entering the building. The whole atmosphere of the old stock-exchange adds to the feeling of excitement before starting your mystery. The organisation was perfect and the setting was absolutely amazing. From minute one, you HAVE to work together if you want to make progress. I don't want to talk too much about the "puzzles" and "secrets", but I can assure you that they are challenging and extremely fun. This was my first escape room experience. Sherlocked has set extremely high standards. Let's see who comes even close to meeting them!

First off, the place is a bit hidden away, ignore the google maps direction, the entrance is situated opposite the department store and on the main road side. The two staff were friendly and informative and gave a nice "act" as well to get us into the mindset. The room itself is large and full of plenty of places to search for, the room will test your reasoning and senses. There is a good range of different puzzles to solve, worth the price. Having an official photo at the end could have made it better though!

Totally enjoyed the whole experience! The setting was great and the riddles and games were fun! Will definitely do this again in another city.

We played 'The Architect' - one of the best EscapeRooms I played so far (I think I played about 15 in total). The amosphere is convincing and coherent starting with the building itself down the the last little peace of prop.
