The story of the Odysseus LARP takes place more than 800 years in the future, in a distant star system where a human colony has been attacked by a race of machines which is led by artificial intelligence. While escaping the superior enemy, the players need to consider difficult questions about humanity and survival. During the voyage, they also receive more information on their past and on how it is intertwined with the machines.

Odysseus was an exceptional LARP even on an international scale; it was arranged for the first time in 2019 and again, as an updated version, in the summer of 2024. Organised by more than 200 volunteers, the game garnered massive interest and brought players from more than 25 countries into Helsinki. The design work culminated in the construction stage, during which an entire spaceship set was built at Torpparinmäki comprehensive school in Helsinki. The sounds, lights, furniture and seamless control systems took the players on an incredible journey through space that lasted for more than two days.
