Is There Anybody Out There?
A Faros, Science Fiction LARP
Event Overview
This is a beta run of a science fiction LARP for teens.
There will be mystery, suspense, and maybe a little treachery as players try to suss out the imposters!
Inspired by the video game Among Us, the Betrayal on House on the Hill board game, and the aesthetics from movies like Alien & The Thing.
Our goal is to run this annually as a tournament-style event that will exist in their own unique story lines.
