The Locations: We are inspired by locations. We visit places that have borne witness to some of the most pivotal events in history, and we want to have a conversation with that history. We visit places that inspire stories of the far future, and we want to explore the possibilities. Wherever possible, we will use a venue that is both inspiring and accessible. If there are significant compromises that must be made, we will organise 2 runs of the game; including one that prioritises physical/financial accessibility. We have written more about our Two Sites Model here.

​

The Characters: Characters in our games are partially pre-written. This means they have several points of known history, along with established positive and negative relationships with other game characters. Participants can read a brief summary of the characters when they sign up, and will be offered a specific character before we ask them to pay us any money. We will then work with our participants to fine-tune their character, fleshing out their motivations and connections to other characters. Player input is essential to the character creation process and we will always aim to create the right character for the every player.

​

The Games: Our games are always centred on an event; a decision to be made or important action to be taken. Characters come together with conflicting worldviews and old grudges. Add in dark secrets and hidden agendas, making everything more deliciously complicated.

​

Collaboration: This is a central concept to the games we want to run. There will rarely, if ever, be anything that characters can solve or 'win'. These are not puzzle games or battle games where you can prevail by reaching a certain goal. Instead, we want to bring together a group of people who can work together to tell a story. Fans of 'Nordic LARP' will often recognise that there is lots of fun and fulfilment to be had when characters struggle, change their minds, or even 'fail' at their initial in-game objectives.
