Strandfall is a highly physical outdoor larp (live action role playing game) that uses custom spatial computers. Players are survivors of a global disaster that has unleashed mysterious, deadly storms. For three hours, they investigate the origin of the storms and make fateful decisions about their future as individuals and as a community.
Strandfall is in conversation with works like Threads, Battlestar Galactica, Station Eleven, Eclipse, and Death Stranding. Inspired by Nordic larp, we aim to collapse the distinction between the screen-based and physical worlds by introducing physical traversal and social dynamics.
This project is made by Experimental Social Scene and will debut in autumn 2026 in Edinburgh.
Strandfall is supported by Immersive Arts funding. Email us at contact@strandfall.com.
