Looking for a city game in Apeldoorn? Choose Prison Island Veluwe

Planning a city game in Apeldoorn, but looking for an activity with more action, interaction, and real competition? Just outside the city, only a 15-minute drive from Apeldoorn, Kroongeheim is hidden away in the Veluwe forests. According to the story, the king was already visiting this mysterious spot around 1896 for royal entertainment and relaxation.

Kroongeheim doesn’t offer your typical city walking tour with a phone screen. Instead, you step inside Prison Island Veluwe, where a cell complex with 26 separate cells awaits you. No rainy streets or scrolling on a phone—just physical and mental challenges centered on teamwork and scoring.

Suggestion: Photo of team members concentrating as they unlock a cell at Prison Island Veluwe, atmospheric shot of the scoreboard and the mysterious corridors of Kroongeheim.

Not a city walk, but an interactive mission

Anyone considering a city game in Apeldoorn is mainly looking to solve puzzles together and compete for the prize. At Prison Island Veluwe, you take that competition to the next level. Instead of wandering through shopping streets, you move freely through a maze of corridors filled with locked doors. A new challenge awaits behind every door. One task requires quick calculations or logical thinking, while the next cell is all about balance, reaction time, or agility.

Because each cell requires a different skill, everyone in the group has a chance to shine. The avid puzzle solver cracks the combination lock, the agile player scores points in the physical challenge, and the strategist keeps track of the clock.

Very enjoyable. We found it more enjoyable than an escape room. If you don't succeed at one task, you can simply move on to one of the other 26 rooms. The staff were also friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended.

FAQ

Does Kroongeheim offer a city game in Apeldoorn?
No, Kroongeheim does not organize city walks in Apeldoorn. However, with Prison Island Veluwe, we do offer an interactive alternative just a 15-minute drive away, where teams compete against each other in 26 challenging cells.
Why is Prison Island a good alternative to a city game?
In a city game, you often walk around the city with a smartphone, whereas in Prison Island, you’re physically active in an indoor cell complex. The mix of puzzles, physical challenges, and live scoreboards creates much more interaction and friendly competition.
How much time do we have for the activities at Kroongeheim?
For Prison Island Veluwe, you can choose between a 1-hour, 1.5-hour, or 2-hour game. Most teams opt for the 1.5-hour option to crack as many cells as possible.
How many people are on a team?
A team consists of 2 to 4 players. With 3 or 4 players, you can complete all the cells. Larger groups are divided into multiple teams that compete against each other simultaneously for the highest daily score.
Can we combine Prison Island with other activities at Kroongeheim?
Absolutely. You can easily combine the battle in the cells with a trip on the E-chopper, a round Glow Miniature Golf or a cozy drink at our restaurant. That’s how you can put together a full day’s program from Apeldoorn at a single mysterious location.
