Our most magical adventure yet. Over 3 years in the making, bursting with technomagic, smoking potions and a dangerous ancient ritual.

Superb attention to details and top quality in general, which is to be expected from Sherlocked. We had some mechanical issues during the experience, though it did not spoil the room too much.

Mechanics stairs and one of the last puzzles that a computer needed to be used. So the puzzle was skipped.

Would have adored this if everything had worked properly! Such a shame as we felt we really didn’t get the full experience that we should have done if everything was working. Our game was delayed while the host tried to fix something, a mechanical element broke mid game when we tried to use it and the host couldn’t fix it, and a digital element broke just before we were due to get to that part of the room, which the host was unable to fix. So we missed out on a couple of puzzles, and the ending didn’t feel quite like it was meant to happen the way it did. That being said, the production design of the room was epic, the use of space again was amazing, and the variety of puzzles was fantastic, and our host was super lovely too and explained everything to us at the end.

An element broke before our game which delayed it, then broke again mid-game so the GM had to come in and try to fix it while we were still solving puzzles, but couldn’t fix it. Another element broke just before we entered that part of the game so the GM had to communicate that we didn’t need to solve that puzzle, which was a shame as it would have been really impressive.

Standout room. Just took my #1 slot of 60+. Must-Do. I saw multiple puzzles for the first time and every puzzle was exquisite. The space and immersion are incredible. I felt like I was in a video game or movie.

This was a cinematic experience, something that left our jaws open and kept us talking for hours afterwards. Probably the best I've been to. The immersive and very, very well made mechanics/props combined with very fluently progressing puzzle and story was a perfect combination for the whole family. Pure wow.

I thought that The Vault would never be beaten and it hadn’t until we revisited Sherlocked. This room was phenomenal, an absolute whirlwind of puzzles, immersion and just us all looking at each other with dropped jaws. If you are in Amsterdam, this is an absolute must. Do not leave until you have visited this room.
Astonishing…
Out of this world.
Immediately immersed into the adventure.

Just play. This game delivered an onslaught of memorable moments that had our hearts bursting with joy. As an owner, I was often left asking “whyyyyy” which was hard to articulate because my jaw was on the ground. And the only answer I can come up with is love. Go. Fall in love. This game was made for us.

Beyond escape rooms, The Alchemist is some of the best art I’ve had the honor to experience. Beginning to end, I was swept away into a seamless puzzle adventure that moved me to tears. This game is going to change the narrative of interactive experiences. Go play it — be delighted and inspired.
This beautiful game flowed like a well-paced movie — puzzles and story intertwining to a stunning climax.
Best in class. Deeply immersive, with many falling in love moments that blew us away!
We were welcomed warmly and in character, and the GM accepted our enthusiasm afterwards graciously and nerded out with us about our favorite moments.

One of the best games in the world. Imo it is underrated at #31 on Terpeca.

Played as a team of 4, along with the other 2 rooms at Sherlockd. We weren't sure if we were going to get to play, as game had broken the night before, and had had email from them telling us this. Their communication re this was excellent. Room was spectacular, and puzzles were also very good, with things we hadn't seen before .There was one element of the game which I thought was out of theme of the rest of it, which to me broke the immersion. Still a very good game and spectacular set. Definitely play in Amsterdam!
