Odysseus: A Landmark Live-Action Role-Playing Game

Odysseus, a €190,000, 50-hour non-stop sci-fi LARP (live-action role-playing game), has become a landmark achievement in the field. Over 200 volunteers transformed an elementary school into a sprawling spaceship, utilizing custom open-source software, RFID scanners, and intricate character relationships involving 300+ NPCs. Its innovative 'clockwork' gameplay and immersive experience have sparked discussion on the commercial viability of LARPs, prompting its creators to explore sustainable business models for this previously non-profit endeavor.
