About
Teams of two to six descend into the vaults under the Posthoorn Church, a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station, for a game that blends challenging puzzles with cinematic scenography and performers who are part of the scare. Games studio Logic Locks spent more than a year building the experience before opening it in 2017, and the team has kept refining it since. It is designed as a full immersive horror adventure rather than a light puzzle hour, so it suits players who actively want to be frightened.
The games
1 game to choose from
Amsterdam Catacombs is a single, 90-minute horror game in the crypt beneath the Posthoornkerk, built by Logic Locks together with local artists. Teams of two to six investigate the evil said to lurk in the catacombs and the dark secrets of Amsterdam's underground. Reviewers describe it as a story-led blend of theatre and puzzles in which the narrative matters more than the lock-by-lock puzzling.
Format
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
The genuine underground crypt, elaborate decoration and subtle effects make this one of the most atmospheric settings in the city, and trained performers drive the story and keep the immersion going. Staff watch over every game and emergency buttons can stop it at any time.
Who it suits
Horror fans and confident adults, or accompanied teens from 16, who want immersive theatre as much as a puzzle challenge. Only one team plays at a time, with a maximum of six, so it suits private groups of friends rather than large parties.
Good to know
Intensity, accessibility, booking and facilities, as the venue lists them.
The venue warns that the game can be very intense because of its scary nature. It includes live actors, darkness, loud sounds and flickering lights, and players should be mentally stable and physically fit.
Shown only where the venue confirms it. A feature missing here is not confirmed either way.
Access is limited because the catacombs are an old historic space, and the venue asks guests with mobility needs to call or email before booking. Driving is discouraged because parking nearby is difficult.
The game is booked online and the whole team must attend at the chosen time. It is played in English, so a basic understanding of the language is essential. Players must be at least 16 with an adult present, and younger children can only join after contacting the venue first.
