Step into the game yourself: 26 cells and multiple levels

At Prison Island, you’re not just a spectator watching a screen—you’re the player who opens the doors yourself. In teams of 2 to 4 people, you’ll navigate the complex in search of points. If you manage to solve a challenge quickly, the cell immediately unlocks a higher level for those who dare to push on. If you just miss the mark, you’ll adjust your strategy and try again. The live scoreboards keep the competition between teams razor-sharp from start to finish.

Over Prison Island Veluwe

A super fun outing!

Aleida 06-08-2025

Prison Island is an experience in itself. Super fun to do with the family, family or group of friends. You get to know each other's (im)possibilities even better :)).
Lots of variation in rooms, alternately exciting, challenging, creative and sometimes frustrating. But good for a very fun evening and worth repeating.
Glow in the dark mini golf is just fun, 16 courses a nice visual experience with beautiful murals.

About E-chopper

Huge beautiful route with lots of nature and scenery around you. Unfortunately no time indicated so the route with 25 kilometers per hour (Max speed) was finished within 40 min. Otherwise highly recommended, but a little adjustment from above would make it even better.
