Are you looking for an entertaining experience to share with friends remotely? The Geek Initiative’s digital live action experiences provide hours of fun for any group of five or more. Think of it like a more in-depth escape room: digital larps allow you, your family, and friends to embody characters in specific settings and become fully immersed in digital worlds.

The Geek Initiative’s digital larp experiences work for those new to role play as well as experienced adventurers.

What Is Digital Larp?

These non-narrative experiences allow players to connect via video (typically Zoom conferencing). With the help of an experienced game master, players build collaborative stories through game-wide events, experiences, and interpersonal relationships. From silly to serious, participating in a digital larp can be quite immersive–almost like being in a movie.

Digital larps are also largely accessible. Years before the pandemic, our founder endeavored to create online theatrical role playing experiences that were physically accessible to gamers with chronic illness, chronic pain, disabilities, and other restrictive issues. Additionally, due to the low overhead of running events online, digital live action experiences are typically more affordable than in-person events. They’re great for experienced players looking to connect online, or for someone just wanting to give it a try.

Digital Larp Costs and Features

Most of our digital larps cost $50 per player, with a minimum of 5 players and a maximum of 7 required. Each participant gets:

  • A character selection survey
  • A character specially written or selected for the player
  • Instructions for game play
  • A game master to help your group craft a satisfying, collaborative story
  • Professional safety and consent instruction
  • Game entry and debrief workshops
  • Materials to guide you through the process
