About
Sherlocked provides a selection of immersive escape room experiences within Amsterdam's historic Beurs van Berlage. Visitors can choose from three distinct adventures: 'The Architect,' focused on historical mysteries; 'The Vault,' a heist-themed challenge; and 'The Alchemist,' a magical ritual experience. These games are designed for different player numbers and time limits, with all experiences conducted in English. The venue is not wheelchair accessible due to the building's historic architecture, and specific guidance is provided for younger participants and pregnant individuals.
The games
3 games to choose from
Sherlocked's flagship location inside the Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam's former stock exchange, has three escape experiences that draw directly on the building's history. The Architect (60 minutes, 12+) uncovers a century-old secret in H.P. Berlage's lost office, The Vault (80 minutes, 15+) is a heist inside the real 120-year-old safe deposit complex, and The Alchemist (90 minutes, 12+) is a techno-magic ritual that has gone wrong in an alchemist's lab. Group sizes range from two to seven players depending on the game.
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
Handcrafted props, moody lighting and a national monument as a backdrop give the rooms a strong sense of place, and the venue describes the experiences as immersive but not scary. The Vault is billed as more than an escape room, a heist adventure through a real vault complex, while The Alchemist uses techno-magic to lift its story.
Who it suits
Enthusiasts and first-timers alike, plus friends, families with teens, and colleagues. Sherlocked also runs a large-group game for bigger teams, team-building programmes and birthday options, and groups can play several rooms at once on weekdays.
