Experience Amsterdam’s Most Thrilling Adventure at Sherlocked Escape Rooms
Ready to unlock your inner detective? Sherlocked Amsterdam isn’t just another escape room – it’s an immersive adventure that’s earned over 1,500 five-star reviews and recognition as one of the world’s best escape room experiences. Located in the magnificent Beurs van Berlage between Dam Square and Central Station, Sherlocked transforms puzzle-solving into an art form.
Whether you’re a seasoned escape room enthusiast or a curious first-timer, Sherlocked offers mind-bending challenges that will test your wits, strengthen your teamwork, and create memories that last long after you’ve escaped. As one visitor put it: “I had the highest expectations and it turned out even better!”
Three Unique Escape Room Adventures
The Architect (60 minutes)
Step into the lost office of H.P. Berlage and unravel a century-old mystery. This classic escape room perfectly balances accessibility for beginners with enough complexity to challenge experienced players. You’ll explore hidden passages, decode cryptic messages, and piece together the architect’s darkest secrets.
The Vault (80 minutes)
Ever dreamed of pulling off the perfect heist? The Vault places you in the real safe deposit complex of the old Amsterdam Stock Exchange building. This immersive ‘break-in’ experience is slightly more challenging than The Architect, requiring sharp observation skills and seamless teamwork to crack the codes and claim your prize.
The Alchemist (90 minutes)
Widely praised as one of the best escape rooms in the world, The Alchemist is Sherlocked’s masterpiece. A ritual has gone terribly wrong in the alchemist’s lab, and you have just 90 minutes to avert catastrophe. This experience combines breathtaking set design with multi-layered puzzles that are “both majestic and intimate, all at once.”
What Makes Sherlocked Special
- Unmatched Puzzle Design: Every challenge is crafted with ingenuity, featuring multi-layered puzzles that are complex yet fair, always logical, and genuinely satisfying to solve
- Immersive Storytelling: Unlike typical escape rooms, Sherlocked creates fully realized worlds where every detail contributes to the narrative
- No Jump Scares: Family-friendly experiences focused on mystery and adventure rather than horror – perfect for groups of all ages

Perfect for Team Building
Sherlocked has become Amsterdam’s premier destination for corporate team building, with options for groups of all sizes:
Small Groups (Up to 19 people)
All three escape rooms can run simultaneously Monday through Friday, allowing different teams to tackle unique challenges at the same time. It’s an excellent way to encourage communication, critical thinking, and collective problem-solving in a fun, pressure-free environment.
Large Groups (20-100 people)
For bigger teams, the Time Crimes adventure offers an epic challenge where 12-75 players work together to stop a rogue time traveler and save humanity. This specially designed experience creates unforgettable bonding moments for corporate events.
