We just hate it when we don‘t finish, especially if there is so little missing. Although the end is also quite fun when you don‘t make it, it just doesn‘t create the same sense of joy. We felt like we „lost time“ because of the acting. One other minus is that the game master told us that taking a picture in the room „is not possible because of time“. What a pity to have to take the picture on the staircase (although it is a nice one).

That being said, maybe we had too high expectations because of other reviews. The beginning is quite fun and different from other rooms. And the set is just amazing, so well integrated into this historical building. The riddles are good, rather on the difficult side.

It's hard to put my finger on what didn't gel about this game.
The first 15 minutes of this game is incredible, so unique.
As we got into the game though, things just didn't seem to "fit". Puzzles weren't particularly enjoyable. Moments where everything is on one person with the rest of us egging-on, watching, just didn't hit the mark.

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.

Reviews by escape room review sites

There is no doubt this was an impressive set with a strong story, but we felt it was lacking in puzzles. With a lot of waiting and simplified puzzles, this game left us wanting more from our time in the Vault, either way, we’ll certainly give the ‘real’ room a try in real life when the world allows

I have played the room „The Vault“, which was one of my top favourites so far, for the 2nd time now (my fellow players didn’t know it), and unfortunately I have to say that I had it in better memory. The game couldn’t meet the high expectations.
The best escape rooms in Amsterdam and two of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. They might be light on puzzles and occasionally have frustrating moments but the overall experiences were phenomenal.

Even though we couldn't defeat The Vault, we still had a really entertaining alternative ending. Again, this is due to how much you get into the game. We really had fun at the end, which made our defeat seem only half as bad.

Sherlocked in Amsterdam has one of the best rated Escape Rooms in Europe with their game “The Vault”. But can the room really stand up to all the hype?
This heist-themed escape room is highly rated by many seasoned escapists, so we couldn't wait to break into these underground vaults for ourselves. Did it steal our hearts?
