Who are we?

Sherlocked is the multi award-winning experience design studio behind some of the world's most lauded escape rooms, home mysteries, and immersive adventures. Our mission: make the world more magical.

Join our Escape Room & Live Game Design Team in Amsterdam

We’re looking for someone driven and passionate about:

  • Escape rooms & live games
  • 💡 Creating original, interactive experiences
  • 🛠️ Prototyping — both digital and physical

What we offer:

  • ✨ A talented and friendly team, including two of the most experienced escape room designers in the world ;)
  • 🏡 A great work environment in Amsterdam, with the flexibility to work partly from home
  • 🎨 Exciting projects to dive into, like escape rooms, city games, and even a masquerade ball
  • 💸 Paid internship + travel expenses covered + fun perks (such as playing escape rooms with the team!)
  • Work you can be proud of, guaranteed (we only hire you if we believe we can guarantee this)
  • An awesome internship and rich variety of projects (we can't promise you'll get to help stage a multi-day immersive Hogwarts adventure in a 13th century castle, but it wouldn't be the first time)
  • A team of creative, driven and can-do colleagues
  • €450 internship compensation per month, plus travel costs
  • Many opt-in team events like playing escape rooms together, game nights, and other surprise experiences
  • An office space in central Amsterdam, combined with the freedom to work partly from home if you prefer that.

What you might be working on:

  • 🥃 Developing our magical cocktails experience
  • 🦁 Collaborating with Artis Zoo on a possible treasure hunt or escape room woven through the zoo itself
  • 🚪 Tweaking a large-group escape game for up to 25 players
  • 🎭 Helping design the Masquerade Ball we’ll host in Amsterdam later in the year, packed with mysterious mini quests

Interested? Come help us craft unforgettable adventures — and have a lot of fun along the way.

A sample from some of our past work:

  • Our new flagship adventure The Alchemist (which keeps winning awards!)
  • An immersive adventure in the Rijksmuseum
  • A massive immersive experience to get kids interested in tech
  • A 6-week puzzle contest played by thousands across the world
  • An online escape game on a tropical island and the moon
  • A hotel escape room in collaboration with Zoku

Our office is located in this historic building from 1603 in the very heart of Amsterdam.

For international students: we can try to help with housing, as this can be quite challenging in Amsterdam. No guarantees of course, this remains your responsibility.

We aim to create the world's most engaging mystery experiences.
