What People Say About Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam
With over 1,500 five-star reviews on Tripadvisor, our escape rooms are consistently ranked among the top-rated escape rooms in Amsterdam.
To My Esteemed Fellow in the Society of the Crossed Keys, If you have not yet embarked upon the ritual known as “The Alchemist,” I urge you to prioritize this endeavor at the earliest opportunity. Sherlocked has crafted an experience that stands unparalleled among the many tests and trials I have undertaken. It is not merely an “escape room” but an immersive journey into the heart of alchemical lore—a true masterwork of ingenuity, storytelling, and craftsmanship. The rituals of Ascension themselves are artfully designed, not overly complex, but seamlessly woven into the fabric of the mysteries that we all encounter in our daily lives, consistent with the deeper learnings revealed to those of us who have been initiated in our Society (“booked” the “escape room”). Each element you encounter serves a purpose, enriching the journey of ascension and unlocking layers of the mysterious past of our Society. The attention to detail is astounding; nothing feels arbitrary, and everything feels alive with meaning. Unlike the hurried improvisations one might encounter in a less refined gathering, the presentation of “The Alchemist” is meticulous. Imagine, if you will, the most elaborate LARP you’ve attended, but with years of refinement and a budget worthy of the most dedicated alchemical patron. The set pieces, the mechanisms, the sounds—all are crafted to draw you deeply into the world of the ritual. Even those elements that posed a real physical challenge carried an air of controlled danger, a necessary tension befitting the stakes of our mission. What impressed me most were the moments of revelation, those instances where the veil was lifted, and the true genius of the creators became evident. More than once, I found myself shouting aloud in triumph or gasping at the elegance of a solution. This is no ordinary test of wits; it is a celebration of the alchemical spirit, a challenge to both mind and heart. And an important one — if our Society is to succeed at its goals, to safeguard our future and the wellbeing of life on this precious planet, we must needs complete this ritual, and you may be vital to the cause. If you are a true seeker of wisdom and adventure, do not hesitate to take your place within “The Alchemist.” Gather your most trusted companions and prepare yourselves for a journey like no other. I trust we shall meet again, perhaps at a future convocation of the Society, to exchange tales of the challenges faced and overcome. Yours in the pursuit of the Great Work, Doctor Wylder P.S. Those who successfully complete the ritual may find themselves longing for a sequel. I, for one, will eagerly await the Society’s next summons. Until then, may your path be illuminated by the light of the Philosopher’s Stone.

Best game out there!
Sherlocked blew Escape the rooms in New York away! The idea of having to solve things in multiple rooms and using all the players in order to accomplish and find the things you need. It was not only challenging but so much fun and enjoyable! Jacob (Mark) was very awesome too! I highly recommend this to everyone who visits Amsterdam!

We've done all three of their escape rooms. They are the best we've played. Every room is unic in its own way, but still connected somehow. You can see the years of work, but also the growth in expierence in design. If you dont want 'just an escape room' but an immersive expierence than sherlockeds' escape rooms are just for you. Also try the 'van der mist Report' and the 'medusa report' at home. We backed the kickstarter and these games are awesome. Hopefully a room will open up again in the building, so that you can create a new expierence.

Incredibly immersive escape room!
Did the Architect level with 5 friends of whom 3 had never tried a live escape room before. Everyone was amazed by the amount of detail and role playing that went into this. Really fun and challenging puzzles that will require some great teamwork and will offer lots of laughs. 10/10 would do again!

Great!
Even though it's got nothing to do with sherlock really, it was really worth the money. It was our first time doing escape room so I dont have anything to compare with but I really enjoyed it. We managed to solve The architect with only a few seconds left. I actually would say it was more fun being only two people. Would highly recommend this great experience!
