Fangene på Fortet is both an adventure hub and a versatile venue that offers a blend of excitement, team-building, and entertainment. Inspired by the famous French TV show Fort Boyard, Fangene på Fortet brings together a thrilling series of physical and mental challenges that are perfect for groups of friends, families, and colleagues alike.
Many countries have had their own take on the famous French TV show Fort Boyard, an adventure game series where teams of contestants compete in physical and mental challenges set inside a fortress. The teams complete tasks in various rooms to collect keys and clues that help them unlock a treasure chamber at the end of the show. In Norway, this TV gameshow was called Fangene på Fortet.
Inspired by the show, Fangene på Fortet was established to offer visitors a chance to participate in their own round of games. Today, there are nearly 100 Fangene på Fortet locations worldwide, all featuring unique cells, tasks, and challenges. “In Norway alone, we have around 250,000 visitors annually at our locations in Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger – it’s a great activity that suits everyone. Visitors can choose which types of tasks to take on along the way,” says Albert Buli, head of operations at Fangene på Fortet in Norway.
Located in the heart of Oslo, this indoor activity centre features nearly fifty rooms filled with puzzles, obstacle courses, and brain teasers. Each room presents a different challenge, testing everything from physical strength and dexterity to logical thinking and communication skills. “In groups of three to five people, the different teams solve a range of physical, technical and tactical tasks to score points,” says Buli. “It’s the perfect activity where you can combine a range of knowledge levels, encouraging and enabling different people to work together.”
In addition, all Fangene på Fortet locations offer a range of other activities, as well as conference spaces, food, drinks, and of course, a bar.
Celebrate Christmas on the Fort
While Fangene på Fortet is widely known for its adventure rooms, it also caters to corporate clients looking for a venue that combines business with fun. The facility offers fully equipped conference spaces, making it an excellent choice for companies wanting to host meetings, seminars, or workshops in an inspiring environment. “It’s a one-stop shop, we tailor the experience to different customers’ needs and wants,” says Buli. “We offer meeting rooms, breakfast, lunch and dinner, in addition to the activities, of course.”
What sets Fangene på Fortet apart from traditional conference venues is the opportunity to integrate team-building activities directly into your corporate event. After a day of presentations or workshops, teams can head straight into the fort’s many challenge rooms, where they can practice cooperation, problem-solving, and strategic thinking in a fun and engaging way.
With the holiday season coming up, Fangene på Fortet is also a great place for businesses or other groups that want a different Christmas experience. Instead of the typical dinner and drinks, hosting your company’s or group’s Christmas celebration at Fangene på Fortet adds a dynamic twist to the festivities. Imagine kicking off the party with a series of adventurous challenges, followed by a festive meal and drinks.
“Bring your family, friends or colleagues for a range of different challenges. We’re constantly developing the programme and introducing new challenges and activities, so we can promise a good time,” says Buli.
If you are planning a corporate conference, team-building day, or an exciting Christmas party, Fangene på Fortet offers a memorable experience.
