Courage in the Time of Troubles – Explorers LARPing Event

Step into our immersive medieval-fantasy world inspired by the real Russian Time of Troubles, a period marked by invasion, famine, betrayal, and unexpected heroes. This session focuses on courage through hardship—what it means to stand firm when everything seems uncertain, and how even the smallest act of bravery can change the course of a kingdom.

This event is perfect for teens aged 11–17 who love adventure, storytelling, foam-sword battles, and making meaningful choices that shape the story as it unfolds.

This month’s story dives deeper into our world’s version of the Time of Troubles. Villages are strained, food is scarce, and rival factions rise out of desperation. A shadowy force stirs in the aftermath of the last battle, and rumors spread of a fearless messenger who vanished while carrying an urgent warning.

Players will face missions where courage, loyalty, and sacrifice truly matter—and where even one brave choice can alter the direction of the campaign.

• Team battles
• Timed missions
• Narrative scenes
• Stealth challenges
• Rescue or recovery objectives
• Roleplay choices that impact the arc of the story

All activities use safe foam weapons and structured rules.

We’ll take a moment to connect the theme of the day—courage through hardship—with Scripture.
A short devotional will help players reflect on what true bravery looks like during trials.

Students will participate in:

• Acting games (if time allows)
• Character interactions
• Strategic team-building
• Optional creative writing and world-building challenges

Players earn coins throughout the missions which they can spend at our small in-event store. It adds fun incentives, photo ops, and a medieval-inspired economy.
