Game philosophy
Our name is also the core of our larps. We’re all about creating a place together where everyone feels comfortable – a real Happy Place, in other words.
On the one hand, this means that, as in most Nordic larps, we incorporate meta-techniques and mechanics to provide a game that is psychologically and physically safe for everyone.
On the other hand, it means that we focus less on very extreme and traumatic events, either in the characters nor as game content. We want to offer a space in which there can be drama, but also, and above all, nice moments.
Meta technique singing
We use the meta technique of singing in our musical larps. This means that we want to encourage our players to express the emotions and thoughts of their character through songs. This is not at all about the quality of the singing, but about the feelings that are expressed with it.
Singing can be done solo, as an inner monologue, as a duet or in a group. Singing can be spontaneous or planned in advance. Each player must take care of the background music themselves. Musical instruments are explicitly welcome and can be brought along. – We have fulfilled our claim if at the end of a con even those who would normally never do so have dared to sing.
Happy End Larp
We explicitly offer our players to play a happy ending. This is strange for many who come from the Nordic Larp scene, but it feels better than you might think. Because even positive feelings like love, joy and happiness can have a strong impact and create unforgettable gaming events.
