The Firefly Tavern Presents:

 A  LARP "Cryptid Crawl" is a live action role-playing (LARP) event that is themed around cryptids (mysterious creatures from folklore, urban legends, or conspiracy theories) 

During these events you "crawl" (Like a dungeon crawl in tabletop games) Meaning that you are searching locations where cryptids have been reported. 

The Cryptid Crawl LARPers  move from place to place; while completing challenges, solving mysteries, and encountering new things. 

A Cryptid Crawl IRL (In Real Life) ends without proving the existence of a cryptid. 

A LARP (Live Action Role Play) Cryptid Crawl could end in an exciting discovery; 

proving the existence of whatever cryptid/s the LARP is focusing on, at a staged event.

Structure: Crawl Format
Participants move through a series of locations (real or staged) to uncover clues, face encounters, or solve puzzles.
Each "station" may represent a different cryptid sighting, challenge, or NPC (non-player character) interaction.
Example: a haunted forest trail, where clues are left for the LARPers, and Thermal Drones search from above...

Gameplay Style
Could be horror-focused, comedic, or mystery-driven.
Players may engage in combat, investigation, negotiation, or survival.
Sometimes uses light rules or mechanics, or is fully narrative-driven.

Setting
Our Cryptid Crawls take place on our 424 acre property; 

comprising of Lush Forest, a bog, a swamp, and several ponds. 

Cryptid crawls could take place during the day or at night for a spooky ambiance.

The event could last as long as a weekend, or be completed within hours.

Tone
Some events lean into serious horror or suspense, while others embrace campy,  humor and absurdity.
It could also be inspired by media events, or SciFi films and or Shows.

Your Theme

Our LARP Cryptid Crawls could be played out as futuristic, Alternate Reality, Historic Reenactment, Fantasy Theme, Time Travel, or based on current headlines... You choose the Theme, and Our Writers can produce a script. 

We can provide NPCs, Sets, Costumes, and Props.

Imagine a LARP where:

You’re part of a backwoods paranormal investigation team.
You get "dispatches" about creature sightings.
You trek through a forested path at night, 

encounter costumed NPCs, decipher strange symbols, 

and try not to fall prey to a shapeshifting cryptid impersonating as one of your team members.

You are interviewed individually.

Roles are chosen in secret, 

and no one will have a clear idea who is trying to find a cryptid, 

and who is already fully aware of where the cryptid might be found.

CASTERS

Looking Ahead:

The creator of the "Casters" universe, Lucky Younger, is our resident script writer; and our Dev Team is working on bringing 

"Casters - Lucky Younger" to life as  a LARP with the use of  "Peripherals" just like the graphic novel and book series. 

This LARP would be based on a universe where a new game peripheral can see into a pocket dimension, that is merging with our own, Where Magic Is Real!
