Side Quest - A Wollongong Parlour LARP

Dim your lanterns, fill your tankard and settle in for an evening of fantasy Live Action Roleplay.

Welcome to the inaugural chapter of Side Quest - a parlour LARP based in the heart of Wollongong. Join our Guild Masters as they guide players through side quests, puzzles and live theatre in a fantasy experience fit for the whole party.

*Note: Due to limited capacity it is important to “purchase” a ticket to secure your spot for the event (this event has been sponsored by the proceeds of the Battle of the Bards and thus requires no payment from players). If you can no longer attend please contact the admins at sidequestlarp@gmail.com

WHAT IS A “PARLOUR LARP”?

Parlour LARP, also known as freeform LARPs, are theatre-driven, non-combat games designed for collaborative story-telling that can include, but is not limited to, a classroom-sized group of people. Its format is similar to Dungeons & Dragons (minus the table-top aspect) and is featured in movies such as ‘Role Models’ (2008).

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? It’s as easy as 1…2…3…PLAY ON!
