About Prison Island Veluwe

Really well organized! With three people, you can play everything, and some things with four people. We booked 1.5 hours, but that went by so fast and we didn't even get to play all the rooms. The next day, we had sore muscles from all the climbing and scrambling. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
Tip: don't dress too warmly and wear sneakers.

Together with a friend, we embarked on this adventure. We had no idea what to expect. But what fun we had! Lots of rooms with fun game activities. Some were really so much fun that we did them more than once, others we didn't understand at all and could just give up. That is nice, because that way there is something for everyone. The bitterballs after that were a very welcome treat.
Definitely worth repeating as far as we are concerned.
