FIJO: Ohlungen, Capital of Games

Since 2022, the small town of Ohlungen, nestled in the north of Bas-Rhin between Haguenau and Niederbronn-les-Bains, transforms every spring into a true capital of games thanks to the FIJO — Festival Incontournable des Jeux d'Ohlungen. Created by the association Jeux m'éclate, this gaming event is experiencing remarkable growth and is establishing itself as one of the major gaming events in Alsace.

Three Days of Gaming Immersion

FIJO unfolds over three days — from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening — in the Ohlungen multi-purpose hall. The space is organized into several thematic areas offering an exceptional diversity of gaming experiences:

  • Board Games: A vast space dedicated to modern and classic board games, where passionate facilitators offer introductory games of the latest releases and board game classics.
  • Retrogaming: A retro space with vintage consoles and arcade machines for nostalgic gamers and the curious who wish to (re)discover the video games of the 80s and 90s.
  • Role-Playing Games: Sessions led by experienced game masters, accessible to beginners and seasoned role-players alike.
  • Tournaments: Competitions in board games, chess, and card games with prizes to be won.
  • Immersive Escape Game: An escape game designed specifically for the festival, plunging participants into an enigmatic adventure.
  • Axe Throwing: An original activity supervised by professionals for a moment of skill and relaxation.
  • Giant Wooden Games: Oversized games set up outdoors for the enjoyment of young and old alike.

Alsatian Food and Friendly Atmosphere

The association Jeux m'éclate has considered the comfort of the players: on-site catering offers Alsatian specialties — spaetzle, grills, flammekueche, pizzas, fresh pretzels, cakes, and sweets — to refuel without leaving the festival universe. The atmosphere is relaxed and inclusive: FIJO welcomes casual gamers and enthusiasts, families with children, and groups of friends.

A Thriving Gaming Community

The association Jeux m'éclate, based in Ohlungen, animates the gaming life of northern Alsace throughout the year with regular game nights. FIJO is its flagship event, whose growing success testifies to the increasing enthusiasm for board games and gaming events in Alsace.
