Project X: The Birthday Party That Caused a Riot
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
In 2012, a 16-year-old girl in a quiet Dutch town made a simple mistake: she accidentally set her Facebook birthday party invitation to "public." Within days, the invite went viral, attracting tens of thousands of RSVPs and becoming known online as "Project X Haren." While the birthday girl and her family fled, thousands of strangers descended on the small town, ready to party.
What started as a digital joke quickly spiraled into a real-world riot. Fireworks, flipped cars, and clashes with police turned the night into a scene of chaos that made international headlines. This is the unbelievable true story of how one click of a button unleashed the power of the internet and turned a quiet Sweet 16 into one of the most infamous parties in European history.
