As he tells us in this episode, his favorite game shifts from \u200amoment to moment, but in this particular moment, that game is <em>The Alchemist<\/em>, created by Francine Boon &amp; Victor van Doorn of Sherlocked Escape Rooms in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David had this to say about <em>The Alchemist<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a wonder factory. It is filled with impossible moments and machines, and it made me weep with joy during the finale each time I watched it. I think I saw the finale three times when I came to visit. I just love this game and it feels like a vision into the future of what I want escape&nbsp;rooms to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"477\" data-attachment-id=\"153318\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/hero-image-repod-s8e12-sherlocked\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/hero-image-repod-s8e12-sherlocked.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"843,477\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hero image repod s8e12 sherlocked\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/hero-image-repod-s8e12-sherlocked.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/hero-image-repod-s8e12-sherlocked.jpg\" alt=\"hero image for repod season 8, francine boon &amp; Victor van Dorn of Sherlocked Escape rooms. man in glasses and goatee in black hoodie. man with light brown hair and beard smiling in a grey blazer with a blond woman smiling in a short sleeve black turtleneck propped over his shoulder.

Victor started playing escape rooms in 2012 when the industry was still in its infancy, and a few years later, he started Sherlocked, along with a few other partners. Sherlocked&#8217;s games <em>The Architect <\/em>and <em>The Vault<\/em> are noteworthy for the level of immersion they created at the time. They used actors and \u201ccold starts&#8221; to truly create the feeling that players were in a movie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can see the influence of Sherlocked throughout much of the escape room scene in The Netherlands today. Many of the games there make use of actors, with immersive onboarding. Additionally, many are set in historical buildings, just liked Sherlocked is. Victor and Francine are creative alchemists in their own right, combining their skillsets to create wondrous, magical games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
