As the participants are being led into the inner courtyard, they are suddenly surprised to discover that there is no way out of the Fort.
Concept
In the courtyard the participants are given the mandatory black and white prison clothing and a gruff prison governor makes it very clear to them what the prison rules are. He divides them up into groups and allocates a cell plus guard to each. Of course, the prison governor keeps a close eye on things and watches closely to ensure that all the prisoners cooperate fully. Indeed, there is a growing desire to escape. According to a fixed programme, the prisoners take turns working in different sections of the Fort: the kitchens, the woodwork department, the forge, the sports hall, the library, the laundry and the refectory. In each section they have to fulfil certain tasks.
Due to renovation works the Fort Napoleon is closed from September 2018 until summer 2019.
