Olympus Fuss

A LARP comedy about the joys and struggles of the Greek gods during their revelry on Olympus.

A grand feast is about to begin on the legendary Mount Olympus.

The gods who gather here are often cruel, petty, yet also strangely human, dealing with both divine and mortal dilemmas. Hades counts the souls of the dead, Aphrodite paints her nails, and Zeus is already on the lookout for his next mortal beauty—while Hera watches him like a hawk. Just beyond the next cloud, Athena desperately tries to explain to Ares that a bit of strategy is often far more effective than a “charge in, swords swinging” approach.

But this feast holds a special surprise. Zeus has invited two mere mortals to Olympus. How will they fare among the gods? And what does a divine banquet even look like?

Join us in playing Greek gods and heroes! While tackling the most pressing godly issues, you’ll surely forget all your earthly worries.

This LARP is a comedy, designed in the style of an Ancient Greek farce. Expect dramatic speeches, exaggerated pathos, and grandiose gestures—all highly encouraged! Players will take on the roles of the most important deities of the Greek pantheon, with only two exceptions.

Due to the slightly risqué nature of some character storylines, this LARP is recommended for players aged 18 and up.

  • To sign up for the game, please fill out the registration form, after which we will help you choose a suitable character.
  • Before the game, you’ll need to study your character (which we will send to you). 
  • The game must be paid in advance. To go ahead, we need to confirm the exact number of players. If you are unable to attend at the last minute, please try to find a replacement.
 
  • The game does not have any specific triggers, but it may be full of inappropriate humor—it really depends on what the players bring to the table. Please approach it with a sense of humor, and if anything feels too much for you, feel free to mention it during the final reflection.

  • Some characters (both male and female) may have slightly homosexual traits. After all, we are in ancient Greece, where sex between men was not an uncommon affair, and no proper celebration would be complete without orgies. If anyone feels uncomfortable playing a bisexual character, please mention it in your application, and we’ll discuss which character would be suitable for you.

  • The game is meant to be lighthearted, but it’s important that everyone feels comfortable! 😊

  • “Slow down” = If you hear this, reduce the intensity of your playing.
  • Hand on the head = You break character and act as the player, not as your in-game character.
  • No physical violence is allowed.
  • Respect agreed physical boundaries. If you’re unsure during the game whether you can do something to another player, it’s always safer to hold back.
  • Romantic and sexual scenes: The game does not encourage or create space for significant romantic moments. If you plan any romantic gestures (e.g., a kiss, hug, touch), please agree on the limits with the player beforehand to ensure everyone is comfortable (e.g., a hug, kiss on the cheek, etc.).

Setting of the larp

The Greek gods are gathering for a celebration on Olympus. But today, there’s an interesting surprise waiting for them. Zeus would like to introduce someone… 

Medailonky postav

Zeus, the highest of the gods of Olympus, rules with the power of lightning. He sleeps with anything that moves, often transforming into various animals to do so.

This character is for a player who isn’t afraid to take responsibility for their choices and who can handle being a bit of a leader, steering the game and interactions with authority and charisma. 

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, a highly desired supermodel, dramatic, carefree, and full of affectation. 

This character is perfect for a player who loves to perform, speak a lot, and isn’t afraid to step into the role of a larger-than-life diva, exuding confidence and beauty with every gesture.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, born from Zeus’s head, is the embodiment of intellect, progress, and knowledge.

This character is perfect for a player who enjoys playing a quieter, more thoughtful role.

 

Ruler of the underworld, both Zeus’s brother and son-in-law. Charismatic, systematic, organizationally skilled.
For a communicative player.

 
 

Zeus’s wife, protector of the family and traditions. A more thoughtful character, able to speak up when she wants or needs to.
For a player who can embrace the challenge of playing a woman in her prime. Can be played inwardly or outwardly.

God of war. Macho. Simply green brain (soldier).
For an extroverted, brave player who isn’t afraid to experiment.

 
 

Mortal, heroine, an individualistic and unique character.
For an extroverted player who isn’t afraid of conflict when necessary. Can be played outwardly or inwardly.

 
 

Demigod, hero, superhuman strength, completing tasks for the gods, Zeus’s champion. Confident, a bit of a show-off.
