"Expedition Robinson Harderwijk"? Go for Prison Island Veluwe

Are you looking for an “Expedition Robinson” activity in Harderwijk for an intense group challenge? Swap the city beach for the vast Veluwe forests near Uddel. Just a 15-minute drive away, you’ll find Kroongeheim, a mysterious gathering place where, according to legend, the king held secret competitions as early as 1896 to test his companions. Today, you’ll determine who has the most stamina and wits to claim the throne.

Instead of individual challenges on the sand, head to Kroongeheim and step inside Prison Island Veluwe. In this indoor cell complex, you’ll tackle 26 different challenges in teams that combine agility, balance, reaction time, and problem-solving.

No dropouts, but plenty of rivalry among the participants

The downside of traditional Robinson challenges is that less enthusiastic participants sometimes end up on the sidelines pretty quickly. With Prison Island Veluwe, the entire group stays fully engaged from start to finish. Each team receives one key that allows them to navigate the hallways and unlock cell doors on their own.

The challenges are just as varied as a real expedition. One cell requires agility and climbing skills, while the next focuses on spatial awareness, memory, or staying calm under time pressure. Because you choose which cells to tackle and how often to improve your score, the race for victory remains open until the very end.
Icon 26 different stations full of physical and mental challenges
Icon Never have to wait your turn thanks to the free-flow system
Icon Just a 15-minute drive from Harderwijk

We really enjoyed it! However, with some of the rooms, we felt like the room wasn't working properly—especially the ones where you had to press buttons; we couldn't figure out the logical sequence.

We had a great time doing the prison escape! Nice location, easy to get to. It looked neat and clean. The prison escape rooms were a bit noisy, though.
