Megagames, a playground for the imagination, span a spectrum of scenarios. Dive into historical “what ifs” like overseeing the Roman Empire, navigating 15th-century Japan, or strategizing through the trenches of the First World War. Or, venture into the realms of sci-fi and fantasy – alien races, galactic conquests, cyberpunk dystopias, and even the management of a magical university with wizards debating the inclusion of necromancy in the syllabus.

These events unfold across a day, with narratives evolving dynamically and events unfolding without pause. While costumes aren’t mandatory, some participants relish the opportunity to don thematic attire, adding flair to the experience. And once the dice have settled, many Megagamers gather at a local venue for a post-game debrief over drinks and food. It’s the perfect time to unravel the web of alliances, discover who betrayed whom, and share tales from opposite ends of the map.

So, if you’re ready to embark on a gaming adventure that transcends the boundaries of conventional play, games await. Strap in for a day of strategic brilliance, unexpected twists, and the camaraderie of fellow gamers.

What is a Megagame?

Megagames are a unique and immersive type of gaming experience that combines elements of board games, role-playing games, wargames, and Live Action Role-Playing (LARP). They are typically played by 30-200 players, divided into teams or factions, over a full day.

Megagames are known for their complex storylines, emergent gameplay, and high-level player interaction.
