What Couples Are Saying About Sherlocked

Great experience and we had such a nice host! We did the architect as a couple and we had a great time. Would recommend!! -Kevin Z on TripAdvisor

My girlfriend and I visited The Architect and we had a blast of a time. It was her 1st escape room experience and I could not have wanted a better outcome. The story is charming and the puzzles are hard but not too hard, there is even a twist. Escape rooms are always more fun with a bigger group of people but this one was really fun even with just 2 people. If you like mistery, puzzels and a charming story I can highly recommend it! -Robert Laszlo K on TripAdvisor

I played The Architect room at Sherlocked with my girlfriend and a friend of ours. The puzzles where fun and the building and room are really cool. It had some great surprises which I won't ruin here. The Game Master was also really friendly and the hints he gave were just right, hinting but not telling outright. -tombrighton on TripAdvisor

Booked a session in "The Architect" with just my girlfriend and myself. Even with just two people, the room is solvable. We solved it with basically no time left and towards the end we were helped out with a few hints (maybe as a handicap for only having two players). The entire experience was great and goes beyond any escape room experience we've done so far. -raulness on TripAdvisor

Tips for Planning the Perfect Escape Room Date Night

To make your Sherlocked experience even more magical, consider these tips:

• Pick the Right Challenge: If it’s your first time, The Architect is a great introduction. Looking for something daring for a double date? Try The Vault for a heart-pounding adventure, or The Alchemist for a mystical journey.
• Dress Comfortably: If you're wondering what to wear to an escape room, consider that you’ll be moving, searching, and solving—so wear something you can move freely in. Avoid high heels or tight clothing that might restrict movement.
• Think Like a Team: Listen to each other’s ideas, share observations, and communicate clearly. Sometimes, the smallest detail can be the key to unlocking the next puzzle.
• Make It a Full Date Night: Pair your escape adventure with a candlelit dinner nearby or a moonlit stroll along Amsterdam’s canals to keep the magic going. Some of our favorite nearby spots include hidden cocktail bars and intimate cafes perfect for continuing the evening’s sense of adventure.
• Capture the Moment: After your escape, take a photo together to commemorate your shared victory (or hilarious near-miss). It’s a date you’ll want to remember!

Not in Amsterdam? Or just not in the mood to go out? That doesn’t mean your date night has to be the usual dinner-and-movie routine. If you’re up for a challenge, try solving a mystery together at home! Our Home Mysteries bring the thrill of an escape room to your living room, letting you uncover secrets, crack codes, and piece together an immersive story—all without leaving the house. Perfect for cozy nights in when you still want a bit of adventure.
