The Addams Family: Til Death—An Immersive Larp
The Addams Family: Til Death—An Immersive Larp
Event Cost: $20.00 Gaming Event
Step into the eerie and kooky world of The Addams Family in this immersive live-action role-playing experience. New larpers welcome!
The Addams Family clashes with the seemingly ‘normal’ family of their daughter’s fiance. Will the two families ever get along? Or will it be a feud for the ages? They’re scary and they’re spooky-
This will be a mostly light-hearted romp with genuine feelings as you play two over-the-top families going through some serious culture shock. Expect family expectations, disagreements, and questioning what it means to be an outsider. Some frightening or horrific elements may be discussed (after all, what did Auntie Forcible do with all her ex-husbands?), but there will not be gore on screen.
You will larp as either a member of the Addams Family or a member of the fiance’s family. No canon Addamses will be appearing as player characters. (ie. you won’t be Gomez or Morticia, you’ll be original Addamses.) Playing a member of the Normal Family will also be fun- you get to be the ‘straight man’ for a lot of the jokes, as well as having some juicy backstories of your own. Who knows, at the end you might decide you like the Addams more.
The larp will be played in a series of timed ‘episodes’ to capture that sitcom feeling. The kids break the news, the families meet, they celebrate a holiday together, they go on a family vacation. It ends with the re-hearse-al and the wedding!
We will use larp calibration and safety techniques. Costuming encouraged.
