Festival of Play and Imagination – 17th edition

The Festival du Jeu et de l’Imaginaire returns to Caen from 27 to 29 November 2026 for its 17th edition!

Whether with family, friends or on your own, come and discover board games and video games. Meet game designers, illustrators and publishers, and try out their creations. Escape games and murder mystery parties round off the programme.

Younger children can enjoy areas specially designed for 0–4-year-olds and 5–7-year-olds. Beginners and keen gamers alike are welcome: the volunteers and the Jouons Ensemble team will welcome you and help you discover the games.

A relaxation area, a refreshment bar and a raffle are also available on site.

Entry is pay-what-you-wish: everyone contributes according to their wishes and means. It’s perfectly possible to come for free.
