Great games, fresh air and shared moments of happiness outdoors
In Viehhofen, classic games are taken up a size. Viehhofen XXL brings children, parents, grandparents and friends together outdoors – with games that combine physical activity, skill and a good dose of fun.
That is precisely what makes this initiative so special: the XXL games provide light-hearted moments of holiday fun that bring spontaneous joy. You stop for a moment, play a round, laugh together and take away exactly that good feeling that defines Viehhofen – family-friendly, close to nature, peaceful and cosy.
Here’s what you can expect
At Viehhofen XXL, several classic games await you in oversized format. Familiar games quickly turn into shared outdoor experiences – with more movement, more togetherness, and plenty of fun in the fresh air. On the current page, we introduce Bee Bug Toe, Alpine Mikado, Alpine Jenga, and Fox & Hen.
Bee Bug Toe – Tic Tac Toe in XXL
This well-known game takes on a new twist here: instead of Tic-Tac-Toe, bees play against ladybirds. Easy to understand, quick to set up and perfect for a spontaneous game in between other activities.
Right next to it, there’s also a chance for a rematch in a game of Nine Men’s Morris.
Alpine Mikado
Here, small sticks turn into big ones. If you stay calm, look closely and pull skilfully, you’ll soon realise that it’s often the simple games that are the most exciting.
Alpine Jenga
Wooden blocks, a tower that keeps growing, and that moment when everyone holds their breath for a split second – Alpen Jenga combines excitement, fun and shared anticipation. An activity that delights children just as much as it does adults.
Fox & Hen
The traditional game in XXL combines strategy, movement, and fun for all generations. It’s not only children who join in with enthusiasm – parents and grandparents quickly find themselves right in the middle of the action too.
Tip: At our annual Herest Gaudi, a Fox & Hen Championship takes place. Be sure to save the date!
