The setting was cool, but the upkeep was lacking. There were times when it was difficult to read things, because they had been worn down over the years. Also, a fog machine might help to immerse the players in the atmosphere of the vault. Overall we enjoyed it.

This was the third and final room we did with Sherlocked, and we loved all three. “The Vault” felt the most immersive, especially with the actor roleplay element. We did it as a group of seven—three adults in our 40s, two kids (11 and 13), and even our 79- and 82-year-old parents—and every single one of us had a blast. The puzzles were plentiful but balanced with helpful clues when needed, and they were delivered in a way that kept us in the story. Highly, highly recommend all the Sherlocked rooms!
This was so much fun—completely different from the other two Sherlocked rooms! “The Vault” involved us stepping into character and becoming part of the story ourselves, which added a whole other layer of fun. The gameplay flowed seamlessly, and the way the clues were delivered—by the game master staying in character the entire time—was brilliant. It felt more like an interactive performance than just a puzzle room, and that made it super engaging for all of us
The production value was top-notch. We were literally in an old vault underneath the former stock exchange building, where they used to store money. Everything felt authentic and vintage, yet all the mechanics and tech still worked beautifully. The lighting, sound, and puzzles all enhanced the feeling of being in a secret underground mission. The storytelling was strong and immersive—you really felt the history of the place.
We ran into a small hiccup with our booking—after completing “The Architect” two days before, we booked “The Vault” on-site and were told we’d get a 10% discount (which we did), but we didn’t realize we also had to confirm online. Thankfully, Ibrahim, our game master, saved the day. He got us set up right away and was amazing—fun, professional, and perfectly in character. His energy really elevated the experience.

The theming is excellent with one of the most clever openings i have ever seen. I really felt like I was in an oceans 11 movie. I really appreciate any experience that makes great use of human actors, even if I was too tired and jet lagged for my bluffs to make any sense. The main thing holding this back from being great is that some of the puzzles are a little off. I don't think it is a spoiler to say you will dodge laser beams, but they are too sensitive and that section felt too long. There was another section with a bunch of small parallel puzzles that were very sensitive to touch and felt frustrating to get the right answer.

SO MUCH FUN. Loved the whole premise and story and the acting element, it was really fun to get into character and play along with the hosts! Fun puzzles and amazing use of the underground rooms too, though I think 5 people was too many for this room - 4 would have been a perfect number.

Only 1 or 2 people had to do the activity. All others could be accessed with a wheelchair.

Immersive from the get go - a bit tough if you’re only 3 players (our 4th person was unable to join last minute) We’re committed to trying it again once memory wears off a bit because …well…now we’re hooked!

To describe this room as outstanding does not do justice to the thought put into design and immersive experience of this room. From start to finish, The Vault holds nothing back in execution and is the room that I find myself thinking about again and again. If you are in Amsterdam and have found yourself here, go and tick this room off for sure. Words simply cannot do it justice.
Simply outstanding.

Hard to say, we were a group of 4 and it worked really well.

Really enjoyed The Vault for my 100th room. The only downside is we’ve now finished all the Sherlocked games. Wonderful GM with a few unexpected twists and turns.

Such a different escape room experience!! I can’t say much as don’t want to give anything away but WOW. The gameplay was phenomenal and the GM was absolutely brilliant. We had a fantastic time and the game was adapted to cater for our team of 2. Physical, logical, padlock and some surprise elements. Would highly recommend this one!
