Who are we

Sherlocked is the award-winning experience design studio behind a wide range of both live and online adventures.

Our mission: tomake the world more magical.

Were looking for an events intern to work alongside our creative team starting around September (start date flexible) focusing on:

1. Our new escape game for large groups in Amsterdam

2. Customer support for our Amsterdam escape rooms including our soon opening Sherlock Holmes adventure

3. Custom event games on location

Youll be working under the guidance of one of our secret weapons: Ella who prior taking over our operations at Sherlocked ran her own legendary events studio. Shes also one of the loveliest people we know (she didnt write this I promise) and I can almost guarantee youll feel very lucky as her intern.

A bit more about what youll be focusing on:

1. Large group games

We frequently host events at our headquarters for the mysterious travel chest game Time Crimes:

As an events intern you will communicate with both customers and game hosts ensuring the location is prepared and taking care of hospitality on the premises.

In September were also launching our successor to Time Crimes a maritime/pirate themed game called Parlay for which youd become the bridge between customer experience and our design team.

2. Customer Support

Personalised editions of our adventures for special occasions (ie. for birthdays and engagements)

3. Custom Event games

Were often invited to design custom event-based games for clients which poses a whole new set of challenges that will require you at your sharpest to navigate. The video below gives a peek into our process for the creation of The Box Game:

3. Running & Improving our Escape Rooms

Youll be trained to be able to run any of our 3 escape rooms both for the purpose of improving them as well as being able to run them in case someone on the team falls ill. Youll use your knowledge of hospitality to improve our customers experience from our website customer service to the on-location experience and beyond.
