Live action role-playing game

Live action role-playing (LARP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically portray their selected characters. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by real-world environments while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules or determined by consensus among players. Event arrangers called gamemasters decide the setting, specify the rules to be used, and facilitate play.
