Junior Rollespil København (Founder): One of the largest larp groups in Denmark. They organize events for children and youth players 6 times a month. Between 100-350 players participate at each game.
U-359: Played in a actual antique Soviet submarine, the game simulated the lives of Soviet Navy sailors in 1963. 44 players lived, worked, and slept in the submarine for 48 hours. 4 km of cable installed throughout the sub connected to large speakers created the feeling of being underwater. The players used extensive historical background research to perform their duties and characters.
Krigslive III (Warlarp III): A game set in the Warhammer world. 300 players and a strong focus on the clashes of two armies: Chaos and Empire.
The White Road: In Denmark there is a actual subculture of nomadic people called “Roadknights”. They have a strict code of honor they must follow: they must not steal, not do drugs or sleep indoors. They cannot beg for money or other goods and they walk the roads and streets of the country. During “The White Road” 6 players explored this universe of complete freedom for 2 days. Only concerns were to get alcohol and some food. The players walked from Copenhagen and 50 km to the sea, interacting with non-players.
