The set-up

How the Fort Boyard game is structured

The Fort Boyard game consists of a series of challenges spread across the grounds or the building. Teams go round them, earn a key for every challenge they complete, and come together at the end for the final task. The number of keys determines how much time or how much help a team gets there, so what you win along the way counts until the last minute.

This is our own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer.

  • Five to eight challenges that we build and bring ourselves
  • A mix of physical, touch and thinking challenges
  • A host at every challenge, so teams keep flowing through
  • Lasts two to three hours, including the final task
What it delivers

Why teams learn something from each other here

Teams learn something from each other here because no single team member can win all the challenges. One challenge needs someone supple, the next someone who stays calm and counts, and another someone who dares to feel around in something they cannot see. Within two challenges a team starts dividing up by itself who goes for what, and that conversation is the real subject of the afternoon.

This format is more physical than the other TV-style game formats we run. If you are looking for something where everyone stays seated, take a look at the Twee voor Twaalf game. If you want a team competition with activities side by side instead of a course, then the team games day is a better format.

Practical

What space and hosting are needed

For the Fort Boyard game you need space to spread five to eight challenges apart, so teams do not get in each other's way. A company site, a sports park, a warehouse or a building with several rooms will do.

There is a host at every challenge, because that keeps teams moving and prevents a queue. We bring the challenges, set up and take everything down afterwards. If you do not have a suitable site, we will make sure a place is ready.

A compact set-up starts at €195. After the first conversation you'll get a firm price.

Teams during an active course with tasks

The television programme this game format refers to is owned by its makers and the broadcaster. AvonturenEvents is not affiliated with them and holds no licence for it. We develop our own game format and only mention the title so it is clear what kind of game you can expect.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official television programme?

No. This is AvonturenEvents' own game format, inspired by the well-known television format. We hold no licence for it and are not affiliated with the broadcaster or the producer. We devise and build the challenges, the keys and the final task ourselves.

Do you need to be fit to take part?

Being fit is not a requirement for this game format, because about half of the challenges are about thinking, feeling and working together. We deliberately set up the challenges so that every team can place someone on an activity that suits them. Anyone who does not want to do anything physical sticks to the puzzle challenges.

Are there challenges involving animals or insects?

We do not work with animals or insects. We do the touch challenges with materials that feel disgusting but are not, such as jelly, dough and wet cloths. That gives the same reactions without anyone having to touch something they would later regret.

How much space and time does this set-up take?

For the full set-up allow two to three hours and a site or building where we can spread five to eight challenges apart. A company site, a sports park, a warehouse or a large building with several rooms works well. If you do not have that, we will make sure a suitable place is ready.
