I rate this escape experience an OBVIOUS 5/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). And quite the experience it was. From the very beginning, our GM took us on an immersive adventure that took 4 years to create in a 100+ year old building. To call it an escape room would be undermining it's true essence which is that of a grand production. Every puzzle had such intricate details and flowed harmoniously with the theme. There was no detail left unattended. The set/theme, puzzles and my experience exceeded all expectations and then some. There was a lot to do in 90 minutes and we, a group of 4, did it all with just 30 seconds remaining. But I wouldn't have had it any other way, since it gave me more time to absorb its beauty. It's a once in a lifetime experience that I'll never forget!

This room lives up to its reputation. Great tech with some real wow moments. There is a story but I was too focused on solving the puzzles to get immersed in it. Everything flowed smoothly but challenging enough to feel the pressure. 8.7/10

After having heard from many friends that played and loved this room, we finally played the Alchemist with a group of 5. The start is underwhelming: "What the *** is this...?!" ;) but right after that we had so many "NO-WAAY" moments! The room is absolutely beautifully built and offers many surprising twists. The story, the tech, and the design are incredible! It may not have the trickiest puzzles, but for me personally, that's a plus because it allows you to immerse yourself in the story even more and takes you along in an awesome experience. With this setting and amazing build quality, I also understand the higher price and find it justified. We had a great time and are all excited to play the other Sherlocked rooms!

This was our last room on a four day, 22 room trip, and it didn't disappoint. A great use of space, and fun puzzles made this one special. It ended up right over the middle on my ranking for the trip, but with so many high quality games, it's hard to rank them. This was fun, had some very impressive points, and a great flow! Highly recommend if you are in Amsterdam!

I don’t think I’ve ever had this much FUN playing an escape room! We were mesmerized by the immersive and beautiful set design throughout the game. The puzzles were fun, unique and very logical. Our GM was amazing and he lived in the moment with us during the whole experience! What a perfect way to start our little escape trip to The Netherlands!

Absolutely loved this room- from beginning to end. The love the creators put into the room is clearly evident. The puzzles were fun and all made sense. The Easter eggs they also have in the room add to its uniqueness. The keepsakes at the end also were amazing- much better than just a sticker!
