About
In Sherlock's Brain Attic, a mysterious organisation founded by Holmes's brother uses the late detective's brain to solve impossible cases, until a puzzling case in Amsterdam makes it malfunction; two to six players aged 12 and up have 75 minutes to fix it before the brain locks them in for good. Moriarty's Masterpiece sends teams of two to eight through the city centre to recover a stolen painting said to hold Moriarty's greatest secrets, racing his supporters and Scotland Yard over 90 minutes with actors along the route. Both are set in the most eccentric and historic part of the Dutch capital.
The games
2 games to choose from
This officially licensed Sherlock Holmes operator, approved by the Conan Doyle Foundation, offers two experiences close to Amsterdam Centraal. Sherlock's Brain Attic is a 75-minute escape room for two to six in which detectives enter the preserved mind of the late Sherlock Holmes to rescue his memories and solve a cold case. Moriarty's Masterpiece is a 90-minute outdoor city game for two to eight, in which you act as Baker Street Irregulars searching the old centre for a stolen painting that hides Moriarty's secrets.

The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
The escape room blends Victorian-detective lore with a sci-fi twist, as a secret Foundation uses technology to explore Holmes's brain, while the city game takes cues from The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure as you follow clues on a walk of about two kilometres. Actors take part in the city game along the route.
Who it suits
Sherlock Holmes fans, families with teens and friends visiting Amsterdam, especially those who like to combine a puzzle room with a walk through the historic centre. Both experiences are for players aged 12 and over, and the city game is billed as the outdoor experience for friends and family.
Good to know
Intensity, accessibility, booking and facilities, as the venue lists them.
The city game includes live actors, and both experiences are positioned as fun and thrilling rather than frightening.
Shown only where the venue confirms it. A feature missing here is not confirmed either way.
Both experiences are booked online and priced per group rather than per person, with a flat price for every group size. Groups of eight or more should contact the venue to discuss options, and combination tickets for the two experiences are offered.
