About
Each table receives the puzzle chest of one of four 17th-century captains who met in the port of Amsterdam and turned pirate together. Crews spend most of the game solving their own chest, until they need something sitting on another table and the whole room has to start negotiating, which is where the shouting, laughing and deal-making begin. Two games can run side by side for up to 50 players, with the Time Crimes game available alongside, and shorter versions are possible on request. The venue on Handboogstraat is by the Koningsplein tram stop and has hosted teams from well-known international companies.
The games
2 games to choose from
Sherlocked's Koningsplein location is a dedicated large-group venue, separate from its Beurs van Berlage rooms. Its signature game Parlay is a 90-minute maritime adventure for 12 to 25 colleagues in one room, split over four tables that each hold the puzzle trunk of a 17th-century captain: Dutch, English, Spanish and Chinese. Above 25 players the venue runs two games side by side, with Parlay alongside a second team-building game called Time Crimes, for up to 50 people.
Format
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
Every table is a complete game with its own props, built by hand in the Sherlocked workshop, from spice tins and hourglasses to a little ship that must be loaded without tipping. Most of the time each crew works at its own table, but a key item sits on someone else's table, so the room has to negotiate, which is the parlay that gives the game its name.
Who it suits
Company teams of 12 or more, from small departments to groups of 50, who want a team-building event that mixes competition and collaboration. The game is replayable, since each crew can sit at a different table on a return visit.
Good to know
Intensity, accessibility, booking and facilities, as the venue lists them.
Parlay is arranged through a reservation request or by phone as a private session for your group, priced per game rather than per person for between 12 and 25 players, and a game master and all coordination are included. Larger groups can be planned on request, and drinks afterwards can be arranged at a maritime cocktail bar across the street. The location has parking nearby.
