The Collective Ambition Behind Odysseus, a Game-Changing Sci-Fi Larp

The web site of this LARP has good video.[1] They did a very good job on this. Here&#x27;s the prep material for players.[2] It&#x27;s intense. 48 hours with no breaks.<p>It&#x27;s hard to scale location-based entertainment. Disney tried the Galactic Starcruiser themed hotel, but it was a dud. Too expensive - $5000 or so for 2.5 days. It was a LARP dumbed down to Disney park customer level. Lots of mini-games, not much coordinated activity.<p>That&#x27;s about how this sort of thing usually goes. Keeping everybody on script in coordinated activity is tough. I was involved with steampunk conventions, pre-COVID. Those took elaborate prep, but there was no all-player coordinated event.<p>The US has some events like this. Wasteland Weekend. The Society for Creative Anachronism. Military reenactment groups.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.odysseuslarp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.odysseuslarp.com&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.odysseuslarp.com&#x2F;blog" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.odysseuslarp.com&#x2F;blog</a>

I would desperately love to do something like this. Either as a participant or as an organizer. Honestly, if anyone wants help in my local area (denmark) or remote help organizing web stuff or part design&#x2F;3d sculpting for 3d printers id be happy to donate some time.<p>I had heard of similar things in the UK, fantasy stuff. and also Evermore park in the US which was like an even more ambitious theme-park sized one that had a continuous ongoing story.

Damn, building the tooling for this myself was a bad idea.<p>They advertise 20 pieces of custom software, is source available for these anywhere?
