    Excellent escape room edition a short walking distance from Amsterdam Central station (you could also take bus 22 which drops you nearby). The church is beautiful with lovely painted windows and they have vintage/ artisans market inside where you can buy jewellery, rugs etc. The escape room is right next to the cathedral and very well organised. Remember to wear comfortable clothing be warned that it's not for claustrophobic folks. And of course you can't take photos or videos inside or you'll spoil the mystery of the escape room so be prepared to leave belongings behind (they'll be safe).

    My wife and I did this experience together on our honeymoon as we are both big fans of escape rooms. They will be quick to point out that this is not an escape room but an experience and I will agree with them on that front. The similarities are that you will be solving puzzles throughout but instead of trying to escape you're working to uncover a mystery. There are two actors that will play a part in your experience which was also something new for us as we'd never had an experience with actors before. They were phenomenal and it really helped to make the whole experience that much more exciting! I will say this experience may not be for the faint of heart, as there were some moments when we were genuinely scared. As people who love escape rooms another thing that made this experience fantastic is that everything worked! We've done rooms before where the different puzzles didn't work as they were supposed to and that really breaks your immersion in the experience but we had none of that here. It wasn't just simple little locks either they had some seriously impressive things built into the room, I won't go into details as I don't want to ruin anything but we were certainly blown away. Overall this is probably our favorite "escape room" we have ever done. If you like puzzles/challenges or escape rooms this is an absolute MUST while you are in Amsterdam. Lastly, in case you're the competitive sort ... you definitely can still "win" the experience, but that is all I'll say!

    Brilliant escape room experience. Would have been happy to continue the adventure past the 90 minutes. Good actors, great rooms setup, fast-paced, not too much clutter. Quite easy to get into character.

    Best escape room I've ever been to! The staff makes an amazing job for completely immersing you into the experience. Perfect combination of puzzles and story-telling. We were a party of 6 and all of us really enjoyed the experience. The actors played their role perfectly and kept us engaged during the entire time!

    Really fun escape room experience. Had a blast with colleagues! It has a beautiful location and a lot of attention to detail in the rooms. Having the actors there definitely made it a more memorable experience. The puzzles were not that hard if you are a seasoned room escaper, but the setting and ambiance make it a worthwhile experience! Definitely would recommend

    This escape room was fun from the beginning until the end. The employees get into character from the moment you ring at the door. They managed to scare us. The game keeps you active and time flies by. Its so entertaining we were completely in the moment the whole time. I would definitely recommend it.

    This is the greatest escape room my husband and I ever did. The immersion was incredible, the actors were lovely, the story was great. We've done escape rooms in a couple countries, and this blew everything out of the water. Scared the piss outta me, my husband was my hero the whole time. You get how much you put in and it made his birthday awesome. Thank you to the two lads running it, very funny and entertaining, he enjoyed so much of the dialogue and going back and forth. My husband says "so so so impressive, can't speak higher. Wasn't even an escape room, was something else"

    The Amsterdam Catacombs Escape Room is like your darkest nightmares come to life - and I mean that in the best possible way! I'm all about that immersive theatre and escape room life, but this? This was like a horror movie on steroids. First up, it's set in the catacombs below this ultra-creepy church. Just stepping in there, you're gonna feel the chills. It's like you've been teleported right into a scene from the scariest movie! Now, let's chat about the game. Picture this: total, pitch-black darkness, then out-of-the-blue, flickering lights. The spooky vibes are dialed up to the max. I'll level with you, if you're easily spooked, you might wanna sit this one out. But if, like me, you get a thrill from a good scare, this is right up your alley. The story? Well, it sends chills down your spine, and panic attacks are pretty much part of the package. The puzzles are crazy hard, too. I won't spoil anything, but brace yourself for a wild, heart-racing ride from start to finish. So if you're game for some pulse-pounding terror, don't miss this. It's 90 minutes of your adrenaline going from 0 to 100 real quick. So, if you're looking for a blood-curdling good time, I absolutely recommend this. Seriously, if horror is your thing, the Amsterdam Catacombs Escape Room is a must-do when you're in town. It's not just a game, it's a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-packed horror fest that's sure to give you the fright of your life - in the best possible way! Trust me, this is one thrilling experience you're not gonna wanna miss!

    We were in the catacombs today as investigators. After we read a newspaper article and knew we had to help the professor. It was an incredible experience. Scenery, actors and immersion from the first second. An escape experience that you should definitely do if you are in Amsterdam. I recommend it without reservation. And yes we played The Dome befor ;)

    I was spending a couple of days with my partner in Amsterdam and we decided to try The Catacombs as we both love Escape Rooms and horror stories. It honestly was one of the best moments of our trip, to the point that we decided to do their other escape room: Elisabeth's secret. It was also an amazing experience! The storytelling, the actors, the puzzles... everything is carefully designed and perform facilitating one of the best escape room experiences we've had (and we've escaped from over 20 rooms so far). In a nutshell, I would 100% recommend both rooms but if you're planning to do The Catacombs, think twice if you're easily scared :D

    W0W.. So if you like to have your relationship or vocal cords tested; definitely go here! Extreme experience, incomparable with other escaperooms I've done so far. Very well put together (detailed and authentic, amazing location), great staff. 10/10 would recommend. - Totally not posting this review as a kind but urgent request to (please) lift the curse.-

    I've done some of the world's best escape rooms and this one ranks very near the top. The quality of the live acting and immersion is unlike anything else. The folks who work here are really committed to making the experience the best it can be. I highly recommend this.

    Fantastic experience, our hosts fully emerged us into the horror experience and the story is excellent. I have done several escape rooms and this was tops it by far. The catacombs are a great environment. I’d highly recommend this to anyone. I’d genuinely do it again

    It was a really fun experience! The story was interesting and spooky, the staff was great, I would recommend this to everyone. We decided to go because we were sort of tired of the canals, museums, coffee shops, etc. But it ended up being one of the best parts of our trip!

  • 4/5 Maksim K. 1 year ago on Google
    The experience was really nice. The biggest advantage is that this quest can show you that you're not so smart as you can think about yourself :D The quest is story driven, it's cool, but sometimes it's difficult to follow the story when you try so solve another bunch of puzzles. One puzzle requires you to know some advanced English words, it was a little bit difficult, but we managed to solve it :) Also, the intro with all these agreements signing and rules explanation was a little bit too long. But still, it was really interesting, I can recommend it for the teams with 4-5 members, because if less, than it can be too difficult to solve all puzzles, and if more, than it can be too crowdy in the rooms.

    The whole experience was amazing. Obviously, I am not going to spoil it here. Only things I can say is that I am really impressed at the very good work, cure of details, and acting from the hosts. The location for the catacombs scenario is perfect, the adventure you live is memorable. I hope you can find the courage you need to make it to the end!

    It was such a immersive experience! I loved the atmosphere and the actors. Even though it was a game, I easily was transported into the story and played along. I love the location, which makes it a very realistic and engaging game. If there is a new story room, I would love to go again!

    Easily the best escape room I have ever been to, an amazing mix of a narrative story and puzzles. All the special effects, attention to details and the set design of the rooms are outstanding! We went there as party of 6 for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a blast. The actors have amazing acting skills and it can get scary as well (in the best way possible) I really wish I could experience this again for the first time, highly recommend it!!

    I've never bother to put reviews on something. But this escape room definitely got my attention! One of the best, probably the best escape room that I've ever been. Great story, great puzzle, great actors, real experience! You won't expect it will be that good. Highly recommended!

    Honestly unbelievable. Me and my partner visited this month. The actors are amazing. I actually nearly said the safe word, I was terrified. I held out and got to the end. Certainly scary and defo worth every penny.

  • 5/5 PointZero 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    This was the most trilling and awesome experience my daughter and i ever had. The story and the decor is so great. We had so much fun and it was scary at the right times. You have to do this escape room once in your life. Big thanks to the team of the escape room. Its like living in your own thriller horror movie. Also the actors make this story come to life. Go but be carefull not to loose your SOUL! Angelica and Andy van IJzendoorn

  • 5/5 Marijke van den B. 1 month ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    Not just an escape room, but also a real experience! It's all well put together. Exciting, but not very scary.

  • 5/5 Caitlin D. 4 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    If you're after a super scary escape room experience then this is perfect. I've done 12+ escape rooms and this is the most thought out and personalised terrifying experience I've had. Amazing actors who really get into the roles. Worth every penny! Thank you

  • 5/5 Trent A. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Such a fun experience! It's massive compared to other escape rooms, and our actor was soooooooo good. Definitely a must do and so convenient if you're visiting Amsterdam.

  • 5/5 MHU b. 5 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Perfect fun, we made this as a team build with colleagues. It was a fantastic experience in a special atmosphere. The actors did more than professional job. It was my first escape room but colleagues who did it second or third time said this was the best ever. Thank you for a wonderful time in your catacombs.

  • 4/5 Charbel E. 1 month ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Good experience overall, but I expected it to be more scary based on the reviews.

  • 5/5 Tara W. 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Oh. My. Gosh. My group and I had SO much fun! We've done more simple escape rooms a lot but this truly was a unique, immersive experience. Ronak and Patch were great at playing their roles and were wonderful hosts. The setting was so well designed and as someone who doesn't really care about storytelling when I play games, I really enjoyed the story. The experience was definitely scary. The puzzles were not too difficult and not too easy. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a thrill.

  • 5/5 James M. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Wow!!! This was by far, the best escape room I have ever done. The actors were so amazing and we had such a great time. Do your best to show up on time and stick to the story you get in the email. It makes it that much more fun. I would love to participate in another logic locks escape room. Thank you guys for making our trip so memorable. Also, sign up for a night time slot. It makes it much more spooky.

  • 5/5 Ghandour 3 months ago on Google New
    Great experience, I wouldn't say the puzzles that need to be solved are clear, It felt like we were just using luck to get through it. But the staff, the decor and vibe made the overall experience enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Georgina K. 2 years ago on Google
    I did the rescue room in Amsterdam with my step son in March. We really enjoyed it. It is truly immersive experience and the staff really care that you get the most out of it. I would highly recommend for families and friends ☺️

  • 5/5 Gavin O. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best experiences I've ever had. As a huge horror fan, it was unbelievable to live the experience. The staff were incredible and the whole experience was terrifying and one of a kind. Definitely for people who enjoy a genuine scare and a challenge to escape.

  • 5/5 Vira M. 4 months ago on Google
    Actors are doing the great job! Decorations and equipment are great and immersive. Puzzles are logical and make sense. Highly recommend if you get thrilled of jumpscares and spooky vibes

  • 5/5 lynn s. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience! We had so much fun and time flew by. When in Amsterdam, go for it! Book your tickets beforehand because it’s quickly sold out.

  • 5/5 Clessy 8 months ago on Google
    Great immersive experience. Our host and guide were really great in their roles and super nice. The experience itself was amazing and also terrifying. Had some good spooks and got taken through a great story! Best escape I have ever to so far :)

  • 5/5 richard v. 5 months ago on Google
    We did some escaperooms before but this one is the best so far. The actors create from the start a good creepy atmospheer like you expect from a horror escaperoom. The puzzles were really fun to do. Not to easy and also not TO difficult. The location is great ofcourse under an old church👻 . We really enjoyed.

  • 5/5 PetiteVitamine 2 years ago on Google
    Very good escape thanks to the team that create a good atmosphere. Very funny, but not easy (We've done more than 30 escape and failed this one) 1 hour escape, a bit scary. Be careful for tourist, you need to be able to understand english correctly.

  • 5/5 Eve B. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent! Good acting, engaging and cohesive story, incredible setting, great theming and props. Plenty to do, but without it being so pressured that we felt we missed tons. A really excellent balance between investigation, puzzle-solving and immersion, which I feel is something many horror rooms struggle to achieve. Catacombs, in contrast, manages to be spooky and at times even scary without relying on atmosphere to distract from a lack of puzzle content My biggest praise, however, has to go to the staff. They were extremely friendly and accommodating, went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience and seemed to genuinely have fun doing so (which I hope was the case; without giving any spoilers, it cannot be an easy feat running a room of this intensity and density of moving parts!) We played as a very experienced team of two and had an amazing time, but I would strongly recommend 3-4 players minimum for less experienced teams in order to fully appreciate the experience without feeling rushed.

  • 5/5 Ronak B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here with a few friends and it's one of the best escape rooms I've ever been to. I absolutely love the setting, the story and the acting. Overall the place is stellar!

  • 5/5 Tereza B. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolute MUST for anyone who likes escape rooms and a bit of (ok, loads of) adrenaline. The riddles are challenging, the effects are to die for and the ambience is out of this world. Recommend with every fibre of my body!

  • 5/5 nils s. 2 years ago on Google
    If you like horror, you absolutely need to experience this escape room. The design of the rooms are very nice, but the actors make the experience trully amazing. 5 stars well deserved!

  • 5/5 vickey g. 2 years ago on Google
    It was definitely one of the most memorable escape room games I’ve had! It was spooky enough to get almost everyone screaming at every point 💀💀 the actors there were perfect, they never broke character and had great charisma keeping us excited the entire time

  • 5/5 Li-Quan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow, never experienced anything like it. The attention to detail and the actors/staff keeping in character. Definitely recommend it to people who are into horror and escape rooms. It's thrilling and unique. Thanks so much to the team!

  • 5/5 Allie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a horror experience rather than the sole purpose of solving puzzles -- wish I could've figured out more of the mysteries! Also props to the actors--very spooky and helpful

  • 5/5 Ryan T. 2 years ago on Google
    Unbelievable experience! Not only was it terrifying, but it was so much fun from start to finish. This was a great date, and I can’t imagine ever finding a better escape room!

  • 5/5 Kevin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the most intense escape experience I have done. Just fantastic!

  • 5/5 Faye E. 2 years ago on Google
    This was one of the best horror experiences we ever had. We have seen a lot of horror houses but this escape room was so much better. The actors, rooms and story all deserve a 10 out of 10. Definitely a recommendation!

  • 5/5 Etty 2 years ago on Google
    Brace yourself because from the moment you enter you are pulled in to the story, becoming part of the story and feeling absolutely terrified for 90 minutes. You get to learn yourself better in stressful situations and now I know, I'm the one you hate in movies, because I rather sacrifice someone I love to save myself.. ha ha.. Another thing I noticed that the hosts really love what they are doing and take care of every detail. They truly made this escape room a success. Without going in to spoilers, they have an save word to end the experience but we didnt feel we need it. The experience just begs to be completed even if you don't want to ;)

  • 5/5 Wouter H. 1 year ago on Google
    This was so cool. From the moment you ring the doorbell the experience starts. The actors are brilliant and the props and puzzles beautiful. What a blast we had. Not for the faint of heart!

  • 5/5 Leanne J. 2 years ago on Google
    Seriously fantastic immersive experience!! 2 hours of completely heart pounding tasks in the basement of a church. Who will you sacrifice?! Top tip: eat some carrots before arriving or risk bumping your head in the pitch black 😱

  • 5/5 Rachael S. 1 year ago on Google
    Just the greatest escape experience we’ve ever had. After getting home to Australia, everyone asked how our holiday was and this escape room was nearly always the thing I mentioned first, and spent a lot of time describing. I’ve told anyone who will listen visit Amsterdam next time they’re going to Europe, just to do this escape. Sadly we had to fly out the next morning and couldn’t visit the other experience, but we’ll be back!!

  • 5/5 Farrah 1 year ago on Google
    Scariest escape room I’ve been to. Adoni’s and the other lady’s acting was good. There’s loads of jump scares and I’m glad me and my partner got right till the end and experienced the whole escape room. Definitely the one of the best escape rooms and if you’re in Amsterdam check it out

  • 5/5 Eszter K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best scary escaping room experience I have ever had. I literally felt I was in a demon horror movie. The sounds, the lights, the atmosphere, the acting was very high quality and professional. I can only recommend it, try it!

  • 5/5 Mik B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic experience. Fully immersive and story driven Escape Room. The actors are excellent and they combined with the setting and constantly moving narrative really create a realistic and scary/horror atmosphere. Definitely worth the money and one of the highest quality escape room experiences I’ve tried!

  • 5/5 Meg D. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my god. Incredible. Absolutely amazing. My friend and I weren’t sure what to expect considering the price and the fact it was only 2 of us to complete the experience but this exceeded both of our expectations in the best way. It was frightening, immersive, and above all very fun! Would recommend to anyone who enjoys getting into the story while completing escape rooms because that was probably the best part of this. There were clever puzzles in addition to great immersion, making you never want it to end. 5/5

  • 5/5 Talita S. 11 months ago on Google
    The experience starts as soon as you step into the church. The actors are exceptional and do a great job immersing you into the story. If you have never been, I would definitely recommend! By far the best escape room!

  • 5/5 fahad a. 10 months ago on Google
    This horror-themed escape room was one of the best I've experienced! The puzzles were challenging and kept us on the edge of our seats the entire time. The staff's acting was phenomenal and added an extra level of immersion to the experience. It's definitely worth every cent, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling and unforgettable adventure.

  • 5/5 Pablo F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience, very nice and immersive. Wish more time was dedicated to the puzzle themselves as that part feeled rushed but the acting and ambiance of rooms is exceptional, would highly recommend. Fully in english
