What is LARP?
LARP (Live Action Role Play) is a form of experiential game in which participants physically embody their characters and act within a pre-established story and set of rules. Unlike tabletop games, LARP takes place in a real environment and players interact directly with each other. LARP develops creativity, communication, teamwork, and critical thinking — making it an ideal tool for education and youth work.
