“EVERYONE IS A MOON, AND HAS A DARK SIDE WHICH HE NEVER SHOWS TO ANYBODY”
M. TWAIN
THE SECRETS WE KEEP
You all grew up in the same orphanage.
You were a band.
When one of you died, you were split apart.
A long time has gone by.
You all grew.
You all changed.
Maybe.
A band of orphaned children with a dark past meets again after many years. Buried secrets are unearthed as old wounds start bleeding once again. What have you become? Can you escape what you really are?
A grim, intimate psychological narration. An isolated place, where no one can hear you. These are the secrets we keep.

THRILLER
PERSONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, PROFOUND
The secrets we keep is a high-budget live action roleplaying game. An exclusive experience for 31 players per run.
Focused on interpretation and on relationship, it was designed to be an intimate, powerful event, aiming directly for the hearts and minds of its players.
A deep larp about memory, regret, hidden truths, delving into what we were, what we are and what we do not want to be.
LOOSELY INSPIRED BY:
THE VINTAGE
AGE
THE 80’S AND 90’S THAT NEVER WERE
A time when computers were rudimentary and huge cellphones were only affordable for a select, wealthy few.
A time when TV sets had cathode tubes and music was played on small cassettes.
The era of Blockbuster and VHS rentals.
The years of historical countercultures, of metalheads, of punks, of nerds and geeks, of goths and so many more.
The age of indestructible plastic toys, when modernity had yet to ripen. An age so close and yet so far away.

INCLUSIVENESS
AND SAFETY
Born out of an internal reflection and a dialogue with other LARP communities, Chaos League recognizes the need to pay an increasing attention to players’ safety and inclusiveness. For this reason, we would like to point out the following:
- We would like to stress that Chaos League welcomes everyone and all identities. We strongly believe in a diverse, inclusive, respectful and amazing community.
- We created a Safety Team, which is composed of a number of diverse, trustful and empathic organisers. They are not psychologists, but they will do their best to resort to their experience and learn from the best practices and from the people with the right expertise in community.
- An Off-Game Space will be dedicated for participants to use during the event, especially when it comes to particularly intense scenes and overwhelming feelings. The Safety Team will be there to ensure participants’ comfort and privacy, to support in case of emotional need and to help advising the players on how to develop their game.
- To conclude, a part of the pre-game workshop will be specifically dedicated to discuss safety and to explain whom to contact in case of need.
