LARP Events in Singapore
Live Action Roleplay (LARP) events in Singapore have blossomed into a diverse and welcoming scene, attracting a mix of locals and international participants. From fantasy LARP battles in public parks to immersive mystery games in the city, Singapore's LARP community offers something for everyone. Many events are conducted in English (with some bilingual options in Mandarin) to accommodate expats, students, and even curious tourists. Newcomers are warmly welcomed – in fact, participants come from all walks of life (artists, filmmakers, teachers, students, etc.) – and organizers often provide affordable costume or weapon rentals so you can jump right in. As long as you're over 18, you can join the adventure. The result is a growing calendar of LARP events in Singapore that spans genres from medieval fantasy epics to horror and sci-fi, making the live action roleplay Singapore scene both accessible and exciting for enthusiasts of all backgrounds.
LARP Singapore Community – Weekly Adventure Quests
Location
Singapore (various parks, e.g. East Coast Park and other open spaces)
Primary Language
English
Genre/Theme
Fantasy Adventure (medieval-inspired quests with combat)
These are regular LARP sessions organized by the non-profit LARP Singapore Community, featuring story-driven adventures in local parks. Think "Lord of the Rings" or "Game of Thrones"… in Pasir Ris park – players create characters, don costumes, and engage in missions or battles using foam weapons. Each week brings a new narrative (for example, a "Venture Quest" capture-the-point scenario was run at East Coast Park). The focus is on both role-play and light physical combat, making it a fun workout as well. Newcomers are very welcome – the community even rents out LARP-safe weapons and costumes at low cost and provides guidance to help you jump in. (Note: Participants must be 18 or older.) These weekly quests are a cornerstone of the Singapore LARP scene, offering an accessible entry point for anyone interested in fantasy live action roleplay.

LARP Singapore Community – Tavern Nights (In-Character Social Events)
Location
Singapore (rotating venues – often restaurants or bars in the city)
Primary Language
English
Genre/Theme
Immersive Drama / Fantasy Social (medieval tavern ambiance)
Tavern Night is a periodic in-person roleplay gathering where participants meet in-character for food, drink, and storytelling, without the pressure of combat. These events often take place at thematic venues – for instance, the community hosted a Tavern Night over authentic Turkish cuisine at a local restaurant, then led an in-character stroll through Clarke Quay. Players come dressed as their fantasy alter-egos (knights, mages, rogues, etc.) and interact as if in a bustling tavern or campfire setting. It's a great chance to develop character backstories, practice role-playing, and enjoy the camaraderie of the LARP community in a relaxed atmosphere. Tavern Nights are very newcomer-friendly and international-friendly – you can simply show up, enjoy the meal, and improvise as much or as little as you like.
Contact/Updates: Follow the LARP Singapore Community Instagram or Facebook for announcements, or join their Discord (via the link on their Linktree) to RSVP for the next Tavern Night.
LARP Singapore Community – Battle Arena Sessions
Location
Singapore (various outdoor arenas, e.g. parks or open fields; past sessions at Pasir Ris Park and Singapore Sports Hub)
Primary Language
English
Genre/Theme
Fantasy Combat Tournament (light on story, heavy on action)
Battle Arena is a recurring combat-focused LARP event that the community runs roughly bi-monthly. These sessions are akin to medieval battle games – participants face off with foam swords, spears, and other LARP weapons in structured skirmishes or team battles. There's an in-game context (e.g. an arena tournament or wargame scenario), but the emphasis is on thrilling physical combat and tactical fun. It's an excellent choice for those who enjoy action; as one local guide noted, if you're interested in "old-style physical exercise," this is the event to try. International players and first-timers are encouraged to join – gear can be borrowed or rented, and basic rules are taught on the spot. Past Battle Arenas have been free to attend, with equipment sometimes provided for new players. Be ready to break a sweat and have a blast in this full-contact LARP experience.
Official Info/Tickets: Events are announced via the Singapore LARP Facebook page, occasionally with Eventbrite ticket links (new players often get free gear rentals as advertised). Keep an eye on their social media for the next Battle Arena date.
Yule LARP (Annual Holiday-Themed Event)
Location
Singapore (often held in residential community spaces or public parks; e.g. Bidadari estate in 2023)
Primary Language
English (with some local language flavor)
Genre/Theme
Festive Fantasy Adventure
The Yule LARP is a special annual event organized by the LARP Singapore Community each December to celebrate the holiday season in character. It blends fantasy roleplay with festive cheer – in one recent Yule game, players dressed up as Christmas elves, reindeer, and various mythological figures, then embarked on a quest-style game full of puzzles and challenges. These creative costumes and storylines add a vibrant holiday atmosphere; during the 2023 Yule event at Bidadari, the costumed adventure brought plenty of seasonal fun to the neighborhood. Yule LARPs are narrative-driven (imagine a mythical winter festival or a quest to save the spirit of Yule) but are designed to be light-hearted and family-friendly in tone. They are international-friendly and welcome to newbies – a great time for students on winter break or travelers to join a one-off game. The event typically happens a week or two before Christmas, and details (story premise, what to bring, etc.) are announced on the community's platforms in advance.
Contact/Updates: Check the LARP Singapore Community Facebook/Instagram in early December for Yule LARP announcements. Organizers usually provide sign-up forms or contacts for this event.
Halloween LARP & Walkabout (Annual Spooky Event)
Location
Singapore (central areas – e.g. dinners at thematic restaurants, followed by costume walkabouts in places like Clarke Quay or Arab Street)
Primary Language
English
Genre/Theme
Horror/Urban Fantasy (Halloween celebration in character)
Each year around late October, the community hosts a Halloween LARP event that combines an immersive dinner with a costumed adventure. In 2024, for example, VII & Co. (a local LARP events organizer) teamed up with LARP Singapore Community to host a Halloween feast at The Shakehouse SG, where guests "feasted like legends" before haunting the streets of Clarke Quay in full costume. These events encourage players to portray spooky or supernatural characters – think vampires, demons, ghostly figures – and the group often stages a fun storyline or a "haunted" walking tour as part of the night. It's a highlight of the year, known for creative costumes and a lively, inclusive vibe. Whether you're a seasoned LARPer or a curious newcomer, the Halloween LARP is a chance to experience Singapore by night with a fantastical twist. Expect lots of photo opportunities and interactions with the public (in a safe, controlled manner) as the costumed troupe wanders iconic nightlife spots in-character.
Contact/Updates: Announcements are typically made on LARP Singapore Community channels and partners' pages (e.g. VII & Co. on Instagram). Look out for sign-up info in October, as spots may be limited for the dinner portion.

Interactive Detective Mystery (historical & fantasy-themed "script murder" scenarios)

"Dance of the Dead" – Vampire: The Masquerade Chronicle (Void Deck Games)
Location
Singapore (venues vary – often secret or themed locations such as warehouses, clubs, etc., in the city)
Primary Language
English
Genre/Theme
Modern Horror – Vampire: The Masquerade (World of Darkness)
Dance of the Dead is an ongoing Vampire: The Masquerade LARP chronicle set in an alternate, present-day Singapore. Organized by Void Deck Games (with involvement from TinkerTales Studios and the local World of Darkness community), this series plunges players into the dark, political intrigue of vampire society. Participants take on the roles of vampires (or the occasional human "blood doll"), navigating the power struggles between factions like the Camarilla and Anarchs in Singapore's underworld. Each event in the chronicle is richly narrative and immersive, often styled as a nightclub or gathering of the undead – for example, "Wuruk's Retirement Party" was a secret vampire gala, and "Anarch Fight Club" had players meet in a clandestine fight ring in Geylang. Storylines continue from event to event in a persistent world, so players can develop their characters over time. Expect mature themes and a focus on negotiation, scheming, and mystery (with some staged action). New players are welcome even if they haven't tried LARP before – the organizers provide a gentle introduction and on-site storytellers to guide the rules. This chronicle is perfect for those who enjoy gothic horror and immersive theater experiences.
