Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve gathered so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There will be social distancing and games have been reworked to allow this. Whatsmore, teams are reduced to five from six. Also, as I understand it (and may have misunderstood it), teams will stick around the Treasure Room and Passe-Partout will deliver people to their cells, not unlike the bonus challenges on <em>Toujours Plus Fort!<\/em> last year. Passe-Muraille will also be there, although whether he&#8217;ll be dressing up a lot I don&#8217;t know.<\/li><li>Lady and (new) Mr Boo will return in non-contact capacity. We *believe* Willy Rovelli&#8217;s back &#8211; although they won&#8217;t be playing Restaurant and he&#8217;s only tweeted once about being in La Rochelle since start of filming. Blanche\/Rouge return, as does The Cage in some capacity. The Genie is back. New characters include Cyril Feraud as Cyril Gossbo &#8211; the &#8220;perfect&#8221; television host made up to look like a nightmarish real-life Ken doll with a new gungy quiz, and there was a picture released last night of a door with what looks like a fortune teller on, who looks a little bit like Steve Pemberton&#8217;s &#8220;local shops for local people&#8221; character from <em>League of Gentlemen<\/em>. <\/li><li>Other new doors that have been revealed so far include what looks like some sort of waiting room, and a big purple door with a question mark and an illuminati-style eye. Also there&#8217;s a picture of a sort of invitation from Blanche for a new thing.<\/li><li>Mud fight has gone (because of COVID) so Miss France won&#8217;t be able to collect on her prize this year &#8211; but it&#8217;s disappeared and come back before. Time Travel has gone but that was probably always a one-off for the thirtieth anniversary last year so not too surprising. Percolator&#8217;s gone but that&#8217;s had its time (and Hotel is the superior spinny-floor game anwyay). Recycling&#8217;s gone but that never really lived up to its <em>Star Wars<\/em> trash-compactor idea anyway.<\/li><li>They&#8217;ll be wearing masks on enterting the fort and masks in the Treasure Room, but it looks like contestants will be mask free for most of it.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s usually worth keeping an eye out on sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortboyard.net\/Fort-Boyard-2020-toutes-les-nouveautes-de-la-saison-epreuves-personnages-decors-candidats.html\">fortboyard.net<\/a> who trawl the social media sites to get daily filming information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, in theory the new Microids game <strong>Escape Game: Fort Boyard<\/strong> comes out for all major formats July 7th. Featuring &#8220;over 25 events!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"665\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u1mNS2U3W1o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And apparently without COVID insurance and it could bring down Adventure Line if someone is caught with it.
