In-Person LARP Events in the Philippines
The live-action roleplay (LARP) scene in the Philippines has been growing rapidly in recent years, with new events and communities popping up across the country. What started with small meetups and cosplay-inspired games has evolved into full-fledged narrative LARP events in major cities. Enthusiasts can now find immersive LARP events in the Philippines ranging from medieval fantasy battles to whimsical fairy-tale adventures. These events are increasingly beginner-friendly and accessible, often conducted in English or bilingually, making them welcoming to newcomers and even international participants. Whether you're in Manila, Cebu, or elsewhere, the community's doors are open – a testament to how live action roleplay in Manila and beyond is becoming an inclusive and vibrant hobby.
Below is a list of currently active narrative-driven, in-person LARP events in the Philippines. Each entry includes the location, primary language, genre/theme, a brief description, and official pages or contacts. (Note: Online-only games, play-by-post events, and purely historical reenactments are excluded.)
