Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between sherlocked's escape rooms.

The Architect Unravel secrets in the lost office of H.P. Berlage in The Architect escape room in Amsterdam. Are you brave enough to solve a century-old mystery? 60 minutes of pulse-pounding puzzles and mind-blowing mysteries await... ‍ The Vault is not just an escape room, but an immersive 'break-in' experience with a playing time of 80 minutes. Due to its unique concept, The Vault is experienced to be slightly more challenging than The Architect. ‍ The Alchemist is a 90 minute 'magical' escape room and our latest addition to Sherlocked experiences. It has been well received by both escape room enthusiasts as well as players who are looking for more challenge. If your team is 12 people we advise you to consider the large group arrangement called Time Crimes .

Is the location wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately our location is not wheelchair accessible. All our Amsterdam escape rooms are located in the Beurs van Berlage which is a historic building and not well equipped to accommodate wheelchair users.

Do you take unpaid reservations?

No, we only take paid bookings via our website. This makes our system faster and more transparent!

How do we get to your location?

We recommend travelling with public transport! The city centre is notoriously hard to reach by car (so you could be delayed), and parking is  expensive. It's a short walk from Central Station, and there are many public transport stops nearby. PLEASE NOTE: All of our games take place in the same building, but the staring points are different. Refer to your booking information for exact entry instructions! If you do decide to travel by car, have a look at the P+R options in Amsterdam.

Do you have official terms and conditions? And a privacy policy?

Yes! Terms and Conditions and Privacy Statement .

What is your cancellation policy?

Up to 48 hours before your game, it is free to cancel or move your booking. We can refund you, or give you a voucher to make a new booking. If you cancel between 48 and 24 hours before your game, we refund 50%. Less than 24 hours before starting time, refunds are not possible. For cancellations, email [email protected] It is only possible to receive a refund for the change in the number of players if you inform us via email before the game . Sherlocked retains the right to cancel or change any appointment up to 24 hours before the booking. In case Sherlocked has to cancel (with the exception of force majeure) the full amount will be refunded within 30 days.

Can we play more than one escape room at the same time?

Yes! On weekdays, all our Amsterdam escape rooms start every two hours. Each room has a different time limit: The Architect is 60 minutes, The Vault is 80 minutes, and The Alchemist is 90 minutes. Because of this, some players might finish before others. But don’t worry! While you wait for your teammates, enjoy a drink at   Bistro Berlage ,in the same building. *Starting times or The Alchemist are not synchronized on weekends

Can we do the escape rooms with more than 6 at the same time?

Here's how many minds can unite in solving mysteries together: - The Architect: Up to 6 players - The Alchemist: Up to 6 players - The Vault: Up to 7 adventurers - Book all three rooms at once to have up to 19 players start simultaneously. For grand teams of 12 to 75, our " Time Crimes " adventure awaits, perfect for team bonding and immense fun! ‍ For your safety and the best gameplay experience, we can't exceed these numbers.

Can my 12 year old son/daughter join my team?

Absolutely. Perhaps they will be the smartest player on your team...

Can our 12 year olds play without adult supervision?

Yes, but players under 14 should always have a chaperone aged 16 or older. Please note that our puzzles are quite tricky, so we do recommend some adult insight.

Can we start our game at a different time than the one available in the booking calendar?

Sorry, but no. We cannot change starting times of our games due since each experience requires preparations and run with a carefully orchestrated "game plan".

Can we be a little tipsy?

Not even a little. We need you at your sharpest, and also, the rooms are over 100 years old and not tipsy-proof. We're pretty stern about this actually and our hosts will refuse or remove a player from the game if they feel they're intoxicated or disrupting the game flow.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes, we have 4 digital gift cards for gifting to your friends. Vouchers are valid for 4 years and can be entered in the booking process under 'Redeem voucher'. purchase them on the Gift Cards page.
