Lumen is a larp about a group of seeming strangers – the seekers – who attend a retreat at a mysterious location known only as Hope. There is magic to be found at Hope, for those who truly need it. Through unorthodox rituals and mystical practices the seekers confront their deepest struggles and guide others through processes of transformation. Secrets unravel, bonds form, and relationships are tested. Will they find healing—or something far more unexpected?
Embrace the journey of change, build a community, support others, and rediscover hope in this unique, immersive experience. Lumen is designed to teach elements of transformational analog role-playing game design through play itself.
Lumen has been designed by the EDGE Consortium, an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership for curriculum development in transformative game design between Uppsala University, Avalon Larp Studio, Chaos League, Dragons’ Nest, and Turku University of Applied Sciences.
