Larp stands for Live Action Role Playing. It is an immersive game in which players immerse themselves in a fictional world and take on a role themselves. In doing so, they slip into costumes and live out their characters by solving tasks and making decisions that advance the plot.
The history of larp dates back to the 1960s, when it began to develop in the United States. However, it didn't become popular in Europe until the 80s. The first larps were simple fantasy games held by small groups. However, there are now many different types of larps based on different themes and settings. Larp offers players the opportunity to immerse themselves in another world and become part of a fantastic story. It encourages creativity and role-playing as players develop their characters and interact in a world created by other fellow players.
There are now larger events where hundreds or even thousands of players gather to experience an epic story together. Many larps also have a political or social dimension, offering players the opportunity to discuss complex issues or transcend cultural differences. All in all, larps offer a unique experience for people who like to immerse themselves in another world and exercise their creative and playful skills.
