Real Time Adventures produces team-building events, educational excursions, and recreational events focused around Live Action Roleplay (LARP). Our events present this exciting, growing niche hobby in a new, more accessible way that will appeal to a variety of demographics while helping its clientele solve problems in the workplace, educate their students and engage in an exhilarating, creative, a
nd rewarding form of entertainment. LARP is a form of roleplaying game wherein players take on a character persona of their own creation and dress and act as that character over the course of an event rather than moving a character around a computer screen or describing a character's actions while sitting down as one does in a pen-and-paper roleplaying game. It has long been a niche hobby that has, until recently, had a low profile. In the past few years, however, its profile has risen dramatically. Newspaper coverage of LARP has risen exponentially in Canada in the past few years , and it has been featured prominently in recent feature film releases (Role Models, The Wild Hunt, Knights of Badassdom), as well as on television (ITV's Tough Gig, The Quest). LARP is a huge phenomenon in Europe, the United States, and Quebec, with events in those regions regularly seeing attendance in the thousands. Real Time Adventures believes the time is right to bring LARP into markets that are currently unexplored in Canada. Corporations will benefit from LARP as a unique activity that teaches leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and fast thinking in an environment that lowers inhibitions and encourages creativity. Similarly, LARP offers schools an exciting yet educational field trip option for just about any academic subject, ranging from English to Physical Education to Environmental Sciences. Real Time's customizable private parties make for an unforgettable special occasion. There are other LARP groups, other team-building companies, and other event planning companies devoted to education and entertainment, but nobody in Canada offers the full LARP experience in such an accessible, easy-to-learn way as Real Time does. If you've ever wanted to try something like LARP out; if you've ever wanted an event for your school, company or social group that's truly unique; our events are for you.
