Looking for a city game in Harderwijk? Try Prison Island Veluwe

Are you looking for a city game in Harderwijk for your next group outing? If you’re seeking excitement, strategy, and team competition, you’ll find a surprising alternative just a 15-minute drive from Harderwijk. Nestled in the heart of the Veluwe forests lies Kroongeheim, a mysterious location where, according to legend, secret gatherings for entertainment took place as early as 1896.

Instead of wandering through the city center with a map, at Kroongeheim you’ll enter the cell complex of Prison Island Veluwe. Here, teams compete for coveted points in 26 cells filled with interactive challenges.

Suggestion: Action shot of participants working together to solve an interactive puzzle wall, an overview of the hallways at Prison Island, and a cozy drinks setting at Kroongeheim.

More speed, more adrenaline, and real competition

A traditional city game in Harderwijk usually takes you at a leisurely pace past monuments and street corners. Prison Island Veluwe takes a different approach: here, you enter a unique facility with 26 cells where teamwork and quick reflexes make all the difference. You use an electronic key to open the doors, and the timer starts immediately.

Inside, you won't find standard quiz questions, but rather challenges that stimulate your senses. Sometimes you have to deftly maneuver around obstacles without touching the floor; other times, you'll be cracking a logic puzzle at a rapid pace. Can't finish in time? Then try a different tactic or look for a room that better suits your strengths.

Very friendly staff, fun puzzles and a cool glowgolf course with great music. And the biggest bitterballs in the region I think!
Highly recommended

About Prison Island Veluwe

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.

About Prison Island Veluwe

Quick and flexible with reservations and times. Large groups were welcome, but it felt like we were tolerated rather than truly welcomed. Otherwise, we were well looked after and had a great time.

Time flew by but prison island looked tiptop. A lot of fun!

Can we play with multiple teams at the same time?

Absolutely. Up to 40 people can play in the cell complex at the same time. Each team of 3 to 4 people chooses its own route through the cells, which keeps the excitement going as everyone competes to see who will take the lead.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and flat shoes. In some rooms, you’ll need to crouch, climb, or react quickly to score points. Formal attire or heels are therefore less practical during this active challenge.
