WHAT IS LARP?

and why it's worth trying

What if

for a couple of hours or days you could be whoever you want?


What if there was a vehicle to transport us for a moment to a different time, space, a different life? To become someone we have never been, explore the worlds we have never seen, discover things we could only dream of and experience the adventure of a lifetime?


Well, these are the things we can do through larps!

  • It's like the plot of a good movie or tv series - but you decide how it will develop!
  • It's like being in a video game - but with unlimited dialogue options!
  • It's like a role in an improv theatre - without a script, director or audience
  • It's like playing cops and robbers - but with much cooler toys
  • It's like vehicle to another world - and a short getaway from reality
  • Because one life is not enough

    "Larps let me experience things I wouldn't dream of, achieve things I wouldn't dare to reach, and explore the sides of me I never thought existed. Thanks to larps I made friends with awesome people from all over the world, I wouldn't ever meet otherwise."

    – Marcin Słowikowski, LarpVenture

    Take charge

    Most media give us the story with limited options to interact with it. Most of the time we can't choose the main character or the story ending. Sure, they are exciting and compelling. Sure, you can find a character to identify with. But how thrilling it would be to take the lead, become a main character, and make decisions to craft your own story?

    Immerse yourself

    In larp, you are experiencing the story first-hand, with all your senses. You are not watching the character - you are becoming the character. You are walking, talking, interacting with others, and exploring the world by yourself. You are unveiling the secrets, scheming the intrigues, overcoming the obstacles, making friends and foes.

    Experience impossible

    Scenography, props, costumes, make-up, and special effects - we use all we've got to fuel your imagination and make the fiction as real as possible. The high production value and level of simulation will let you visit the past, the future, the alternative worlds with weird technology, or fantastic universes where magic exists.

    Learn through play

    Larp is a great tool for personal growth, non-formal education, and team building. It's a perfect training ground for creativity, confidence, emotional inteligence and empathy. It gives you the shift of perspective, chance to learn by experience and make mistakes without real-life consequences.

    Feel real emotions

    Although it's just a game, the feelings and emotions accompanying our experience are real. You will feel the adrenaline rush of the upcoming apocalypse. Shivers will go down your spine when you face the monster in the forest. You will grieve over the loss of your comrade, cherish the sweet victory, and swallow the bitter pill of betrayal.

    In a safe space

    The best part of it is - you can experience all that in a safe space. After the story ends, we all can go back home to our family and friends reacher of the experience, with everlasting memories. Knowing more about ourselves and about the world - because even if the stories are fictional, the experiences are real.

    Intense emotional experiences unlike anything else

    "Imagine the strongest you have felt with a book, or a video game, or a TV series. Now multiply it by ten and extend it over several hours or days. That's what a good larp feels like."

    – Santtu Pajukanta

    Do I have what it takes?

  • Don't stress about your performance - it's not a contest, nor a show. There is no audience and nobody is judging you.
  • You don't have to be an expert - you will get all the essential information in the larp guide and practical info.
  • You don't have to possess any particular skills - the pre-game workshops will prepare you for the larp.
  • You will get tips and moodboards to help you with the costume, that you can rent or compose from your wardrobe.
  • How does it work?


  • For the time of the larp, you are role-playing your character. You are acting like they would, aiming at their goals, living their fears, making their dreams come true, or letting them fail and learn a valuable life lesson.
  • You improvise everything together with your co-players. To amp up the experience, thicken the plot, and let the players' characters shine, organizers might introduce some pre-planned scenes, events, and background characters.
  • In every moment you can adjust the game intensity using safety techniques you will test during the workshops. There is always an off-game area where you can wind down, have a snack, and talk to the player support team if needed.
  • larp is a beatiful multifaceted thing

    "It has many different styles and rules to suite all types of people and genre's. It can not truly be defined as just one thing, it does not all fit into the same box."
