Kartfabrique / Prison Island

About this venue

Prison Island in de Kartfabrique is not a classic escape room but a challenge complex with 39 cells spread across three floors, described by the venue itself as a cross between Fort Boyard and an escape room. Teams of three or four players unlock cells with an electronic key and collect points with physical, technical, and tactical challenges lasting one to five minutes; the scoreboard is the goal, not a door that opens. There is no story or time period, but plenty of variety and real competition between teams, and it can be combined with go-kart racing and laser games. Visitors find it fun even on a second or third visit and appreciate that all ages can participate; criticism comes from busy times when cells are occupied and from cells where the task is unclear.
