18.00 Doors open
18.30 Program Starts

Odysseus is a large-scale Finnish sci-fi larp, originally run in 2019 and remastered in 2024. Set aboard a fully immersive spaceship environment, it combines live-action roleplay, worldbuilding, and character-driven storytelling in a story of survival, hope, and sacrifice.

During the evening, Antti Kumpulainen (Production, Narrative Design, Logistics) will open up what makes Odysseus such a unique production, how a large-scale larp of this kind is created, and what the next chapter of the project looks like. From design and storytelling to production scale, logistics, and community-building, the session offers a fascinating look into one of Finland’s most ambitious immersive game projects. 

We will also hear about the practical realities of running a project like this: funding, people, spaces, construction, lessons learned from past events, and how player characters and choices can lead to very different experiences within the same larp. 

The talk will also touch on the project’s ongoing crowdfunding campaign and ways to get involved.
