WE KEEP

“EVERYONE IS A MOON, AND HAS A DARK SIDE WHICH HE NEVER SHOWS TO ANYBODY”

M. Twain
SCROLL TO PLAY

Chapter one

The Secrets
We Keep

You all grew up in the same orphanage.

You were a gang.

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.

what is a larp?

Chapter two

Emotional
thriller

Personal, psychological, profound

The secrets we keep is a high-value live action roleplaying game. An exclusive experience for 36 players.

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.

Chapter three

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.

The location

Where
memory lives

We have a special, exclusive location in the heart of Italy. Only a few minutes away from Florence. An entire, ancient monastery, all for us.

Historical, solitary, powerful. Hiding mysteries, silences, secrets.

Imagine… it’s night, you walk barefoot across the courtyard of the orphanage to go steal some of that leftover chocolate from dinner. Then a sound, laughter, someone running away hearing you coming, what if Slitface? A shiver runs down your spine. It seems like yesterday that all this happened to you, but the past is still here….

Inclusivity
and safety

Our events are safe and inclusive. We believe in a community that embraces diversity and rejects any form of discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, physical ability and any other aspect of people’s identity. There is no room for verbally or physically abusive behavior at our events and anyone behaving inappropriately will be removed.

During the event a Safety Team of experienced, reliable and empathetic people will always be available to offer support and to help you manage your emotional wellbeing and as well as to support you with practical advice on how best to develop your gaming experience.

You will always be able to stop and find a dedicated space in case of particularly intense scenes and emotions that you are struggling to manage.

There will be game mechanics to emotionally and physically protect our participants. In addition, part of the initial workshops will focus specifically on this topic.
