Emotional

An intense and emotional larp about a subject we all can relate to: The Family. We explore the social norms and patterns guarding family structures in the Nordic countries. How old traditions lurk like demons under the surface and how hard it is to break free.

Dramatic

A larp based on dramatic stories from the world of theatre and intensified by meta techniques from free-form role-playing. The stories are written by the best playwrights of the Nordic countries, such as Ibsen and Strindberg.

Contemporary

The larp is set in the present time and all you need to bring is what you would wear to a 60th birthday party today. All preparations are done on location with our excellent Game Masters.

“I will say that this was great. To bring theatre and larp together was brilliant. A Nice evening was the sort of larp I have been hoping and waiting for in all my years of larping, from when I first took my first step off stage and into larp.“

“In the case of A Nice Evening With the Family there can be no mistake: this was art. And damn fine art at that. Ambitious, highbrow and, as it turned out, highly successful.”
