We've got A's for your Q's
How many people make up a team?
A team consists of minimum 4 and maximum 7 people. Each 15-minute challenge is done with 4 players. The more you are, the more you can rotate. The more diverse your team, the more chance you have of winning. Don't forget that a "men-only team" can never win because our scoring system is so clever that ladies can earn bonus points. We don't want it to be a "white male testosterone story" do we?
Where can I find the price?
Go to the pricing page. The market went up with 35%-45%, we went up by 7%.
I see several event dates?
That's right! You choose 1 day on which you want to participate and you can switch days until 3 months before the event (upon availability).
When do I confirm catering?
Closer to the day. Lunches, snacks, drink cards and BBQ are all priced per person in Herculix dollars, so you commit them once your numbers are firm.
What exactly is a Herculix Dollar?
It's the single currency of the day, fixed at €1,57 for 2027. Every product has a Herculix price, and you can move credits between products whenever you like.
What happens to unused Herculix Dollars?
They're prepaid credit and stay in your wallet. They don't convert back to cash, but they're yours to spend on a future product or edition. See our terms for the full cancellation policy.
Can I really move value between products?
Yes. That's the point. Shift Herculix dollars from, say, cava to BBQ, or from a drink card to an extra visitor pass, or from a team to extra BBQs — all inside your wallet, no re-invoicing.
How do I get the best price?
Lock your Herculix dollars in the first early-bird window (−35% on team value), order catering in pre-sale (−5%), and sign the 3-year pact for an extra discount on top.
Where can I find the games for 2027?
The 12 games for the 2027 editions will remain a secret for a while, just like the artists are announced for your favorite dance festival, but rest assured that there will be a few fan favorites there too! We will announce them on socials and on tornea.app.
What is the deadline to register?
You can register up until one week before the event, but usually we fill up much faster. It is best to book as early as possible! This will guarantee you a lower price and secure your place. First come first serve!
Which companies and teams are participating?
You will be able to check them out on tornea.app
My question is not answered in this FAQ, what can I do?
Most of the answers to questions can be found in the FAQ. If you still can't find your answer. Please send an e-mail to info@herculestrophy.com.
What if it rains?
The event will continue of course. The food and party area is covered and at every game there are tents for shelter. In case of tunderstorm we can pauze the event for a while.
What if there's a heatwave?
We continue unless the government tells us not to. We had many hot editions in the past and 2026 was probably the one with the highest temperatures ever recorded. We offer lots of shade, a good breeze next to the lake, free water, we adapt the games...everything needed for a great experience. Safety is our number one concern.
What should I wear ?
Show up in sports gear. There will be water activities too. We provide changing rooms next to the activities. We encouraged to provide a fun team outfit. Do not wear anything with sharp edges that could injure other participants or damage the inflatable obstacles. We have showers after the activities, a lake for a quick dip and we don't mind deo-showers.
Can I check in my bag at the event?
The village is fenced and has surveillance cameras, but there are no locker rooms, but you can place your backpack or sports bag in the tents provided during the various activities. We also strongly advise you to leave valuables at home. Hercules Trophy accepts no liability for lost or damaged items during the event.
Will there be photographers?
Of course, we love pictures and videos! One or more professional photographers will be present at the event. The photos will be posted on the Hercules Trophy socials after each event. We will also use the pictures in our advertisements in the future.
Is there parking available?
Plenty of free parking available at Provinciaal Domein De Nekker. There's also paid parking at De Nekkerhal which is not included in the registration fee.
Can I change/refresh afterwards?
We provide plenty of shower facilities so you are fresh and fruity to start the evening section with the Award Ceremony and a Herculean After Party. Do you prefer a deo-shower? We don't judge.
What does the BBQ consist of?
The BBQ is crucial to refuel after an energetic day - and the beginning of the awards and the after-party! You will enjoy a delicious assortment of different meats, veggies and salads. This will give you enough energy to start the evening after a hard day. Because the after-party is notorious.
What about food allergies and preferences?
Are you participating, and do you suffer from a food allergy? Let us know in your Tornea profile. We try to cater for everyone.
Can I bring my own food and/or drinks?
Bringing your own food and/or drinks is not allowed. This is checked by our security staff at the entrance. People with a food allergy can, of course get an exception for this.
How do I register team(s)?
Go to booking page and complete the form. Our team will reach out and create a company account on Tornea if you don't have one yet.
How many teams can I register?
There is no limit to the number of teams you can register. Do you want your own day for your whole company? Contact us at info@herculestrophy.com and together we will choose the format that suits you best.
Can you organise my private teambuilding day?
Of course! For 300-1500 people we can privatise the village. Contact us at info@herculestrophy.com for a quick call.
Can anyone within the company order a team?
Only the contact person of an organisation is authorised to order a team. Are you not sure who your contact person is, or is your contact person no longer active within your company or organisation? Send us an email at info@herculestrophy.com and we will solve the problem for you immediately!
How do I register a supporter?
By talking to your Hercules contact person. He or she can order your visitor(s). Closer to the event, supporters can also order privatly through our shop.
How does the payment work?
Mollie is our payment provider or you can pay by wire transfer with an additional administrative cost. Please contact info@herculestrophy.com for this.
How do I create an administrator account on Tornea?
Contact us at info@herculestrophy.com. We will create your organisation and link your account to it.
I want to become captain or player in a team of my organisation. How does that work?
The contact person of your company can assign captains to teams. The captain's account will be created automatically and the captain will receive an email message on how to edit the team. Be sure to add herculestrophy.io .com and .net to your safe senders! The captain in turn adds the players who in turn can log in and edit the team.
As the administrator, can I add all the players myself?
So there are several ways to do that. You log in on Tornea and choose the contactperson role. You can add employees per employee, upload a CSV file or generate an invitation link that you can send to participants so that they register themselves. It's so easy!
I can't log in, how do I get my account details?
You can retrieve your account details from the login section of Tornea. Click on "Reset password?", enter your e-mail and confirm. An e-mail with your account details will be sent to you automatically. Can't find the e-mail right away? Then be sure to check your "spam" and "unwanted e-mail". Add us directly to your safe senders to avoid problems in the future. Can't find it there either? Maybe you don't have an account or maybe our email gets blocked. Contact us at info@herculestrophy.com.
How do I change my personal profile?
Just log in and click on my profile. Adjust the desired fields and click on save.
I don't want my account to be public, how do I hide it?
Log in and from my account click on my profile. Tick off the corresponding box and click on save.
I do not get any emails?
Add herculestrophy.io to your safe senders and ask your IT administrator to do the same. You can also do that for herculestrophy.net, .be and .com.
How do I edit my team profile?
Once your contact person or team captain has added you as a player to the team, you can edit your team. Log in and click on your team. Edit the fields you want to change and then click on save.
Why create a team profile?
Because it earns you points, you can put your company in the picture, you get the latest news to prepare, and you can win the coolest team competition.
How do I add players to a team?
Click on your team in Tornea.app and add players.
Removing a player or promoting him to captain?
Click on his or her name and indicate what you want to do.
How to prepare?
The sooner you populate your teams with players the better. You can easily change the players in case someone has a great excuse not to show up. Our online platform does the trick. Three months in advance we boost online communication and encourage everyone to fill in their teams and prepare. Jokers are used, other teams are challenged, labours are announced, points can already be earned... In short, the games have begun! Peer pressure is created, there are hardly any drop-outs, you get to know "the enemy" and everyone comes to the Hercules Trophy full of adrenaline to make it a great day.
How does my team earn bonus points?
Just open login on Tornea.app. It will show you how.
What is a joker?
The joker is placed on the game that your team thinks it can do best. If you win that game, you earn extra points during the day. The exact number of points is announced in the scoring rules that you receive at the entrance. That number depends on the number of participating teams. When you have completed your challenge, the Marshall will know that you have used your joker. How cool is that?
What is the coolest team competition?
A team can never win without real supporters. The team with the most supporter votes wins the competition! Ask colleagues, friends and family to vote for your team and use social media shamelessly. Just share your team page. Each e-mail address can only vote once for a team. Cheating by using temporary email addresses is pointless: our referee will screen all votes and remove fake email addresses. In case of abuse your team can be disqualified from the coolest team competition.
How do I share my team page on social media to get votes?
Very simple: go to Tornea and copy the link. Paste it into your message and ask your fans to support your team online as soon as the coolest team competition has started. They do this by casting a vote.
How do I challenge another team and why?
Log in and click on the rivals. If you finish above that team in the final ranking, you will receive additional points. If they finish above your team, they get the points!
What is the CxO pétanque?
In the afternoon we will invite 2 leaders from your company to come and earn points during the World CxO pétanque Championship. Your contact person will give us their names. They can enjoy a drink and network with the other companies. Again: very important if you want to have a chance of winning.
Do you have to be sporty?
That is probably the biggest misunderstanding about the Hercules Trophy. Hercules is reminiscent of obstacle races such as Spartan and Tough Mudder. It is NOT that at all. By the way, we were first to use the name of a Greek hero :-) Hercules Trophy is a TEAM GAME competition in which you complete 12 different challenges against other teams in a fun atmosphere. The challenges are balanced in such a way that there is something for everyone and that above all it is the teamwork that makes the difference. Of course it helps to have some sporty people in your team, but diversity and preparation are crucial factors for winning. And a bit of luck...
How does the Hercules Trophy actually work?
You arrive punctually with your team and the experience starts from the very first minute at the gate. You fly in with the brain labour and one hour later you are dancing in an opening ceremony. For +27 years now, we have been taking you through a flawless organisation with meticulous timing and no queues, topped off with a delicious sauce of entertainment. Each challenge lasts 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of comute. You go from challenge to challenge with your team and meet other teams each time. We also make sure that you meet the teams of your own company. Everything ends in a resounding apotheosis such as you have never experienced before in a B2B atmosphere. And all thanks to you!
How can we win an award?
No winner believes in luck, but we make sure everyone feels like a winner. At each challenge, you compete against other teams and earn different types of points. You get the rules and the points to be earned in the morning in your team pack. Each labour is run by a team of monitors led by one of our marshals. They write down the scores and our referee processes them into a live scoreboard. Of course we have a real "cup" for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. But it doesn't stop there: best dressed, coolest team, best team picture, smartest team, VIP pétanque and fair play are all part of the game. The awards are presented in a Herculean fashion as an ideal start to a crazy party.
I heard there’s a Hercules dance every year?
You heard right.
What about my voice?
It might sound deeper the next day.
Am I going to have a rough morning afterwards?
Probably. Just leave water by your bed and keep your morning schedule clear — it works.
