An absolutely amazing evening
I received this experience as a gift and we went as a group of six (with two teenagers). Every one of us had an absolutely fabulous time (even the 'pre-skeptic' one in our group). I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Laughing non stop
We are a family of four, mum dad and two brothers, 11 and 14. First escape room experience for any of us and it was superb. Couldn't stop talking about it for days after and have already booked our next escape room. Brilliantly designed and we were completely immersed in the story from the second we rang the doorbell.

13th Birthday family event
We did the vault for our daughters 13th birthday. This is a simply awesome must-do activity. By far the best atmospherics, interaction with the actors and fantastic location. It's for sure a challenge but we had great fun with our 11 and 13 year old kids.
– Stephen L on Tripadvisor
Whether you're a newbie or a pro, these rooms are a must-try!
As a family of four with two teens, we've done over 30 escape rooms worldwide (US, Asia, Europe, Oceania), and The Vault and The Architect at Sherlocked stand out. Both rooms are brilliantly designed, with immersive decor and unique puzzles.

One of the best escape rooms!
Went as a family with our two kids (ages 12 & 11) and we had such a blast. Our “host” was very good and we managed to complete the challenge with 5 mins to spare.
– George McLaughlin on Tripadvisor
Everybody loved it!
We did the Architect - family of 4: 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 12 yo).  The kids could contribute quite a lot and they are already asking for a new experience.
– Laura Nadia on Tripadvisor
It exceeded expectations!
First time visiting an escape room. We went as family and there was enough for everyone to discover. Cooperation needed to solve it. Theme worked out with the attributes very lovely. Real recommended!
– Annelies on Tripadvisor
The Architect and The Vault at Sherlocked are the best we've ever experienced!
Our family, with an 11 and 15-year-old, has become obsessed with escape rooms. We've tackled nearly 15 rooms across Florida, Michigan, the UK, and now Amsterdam, escaping all but one.
– Magnolia on Tripadvisor
 We've talked of nothing else since!!
We visited here with our daughters age 11 and 14. A really good family experience, everyone can contribute regardless of age or puzzle ability.
