live-action role-playing

Live-action role-playing (LARP) is an interactive form of storytelling where participants physically embody characters within a fictional setting. Players wear costumes, use props, and act out scenes or scenarios dictated by the game's narrative, often collaborating with others to achieve objectives. It combines elements of improvisation, role-playing, and physical activity, creating an immersive experience. Participants typically follow rules to ensure safety and fairness, with the goal of enhancing storytelling and social interaction. LARP can encompass a wide range of themes, from medieval fantasy to sci-fi, fostering creativity and teamwork through active participation.
