- Have you already seen our video for our crowdfunding project? 👀 Our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign launches officially on the 6th of March, but you can see a lot of it's content already on our pre-launch page!
- In addition to being military sci-fi clockwork larp Odysseus has pockets of tranquillity and quiet beauty where time stands still and all the urgency falls outside of magic and mystery of the moment. Players can choose how much they wish to engage in uncovering the past - both recent and ancient.
- Our Indiegogo pre-launch page can now be viewed! Permission to explore. The campaign – and the ticket sales – will start on March 6th and end April 12th. Updates and more tiers will be coming, stay tuned! www.indiegogo.com/projects/ell...
- "I am Zalei, Protector of the Velian people. Our society is a sacrament, and outsiders shall not partake. We survive by trusting our elders, following the traditions of our ancestors and caring for our dome. When needed, we are advised by the Guardian who gave us life. No, you may not enquire more."
- “I am once again asking you to follow our social media.” Meiyu’s looking for more followers on all our social media platforms! Every follow helps us reach more people when advertising, so if you want to help, this is the easiest way. Wanna go the extra mile? Ask a friend or two to do the same!
- Our team was deployed to Museocon in Vapriikki museum last weekend! We had the absolute pleasure to set up a small Odysseus simulation for the con guests, and to talk about our project. Odysseus - Story of a larp exhibition is still there until 25.1, if you haven’t seen it and happen to be around!
- Halfway Checkup, crew. No you can’t skip it. - Away mission to MUSEOCON this Saturday. Don't scare the locals. - Crowdfunding prelaunch, very soon. The crew is FINE. - Location? We are looking at you, Helsinki, Kerava, Vantaa, Riihimäki. - We have INTERNS now? Wow. Done. Now, go consume a liquid.
- Yes? Sort of busy keeping people alive here. Call me Amaris or Dr Sahran. Have some water - I swear half the crew is intent on mummifying themselves - and stop blocking my workspace. Appreciate it. Truly. Let me just get a quick fifth cup of coffee before someone decides to spontaneously combust.
- It’s a new year and a new blog post! As the beginning of our ticket sales is approaching we want to share openly how our upcoming crowdfunding campaign works and why we chose this path. Check out the blog and let us know what you think! #crowdfunding #larp ellariontales.com/blog/blog3-c...
- Hi, nice to stumble into you again! Cassian, we talked last week? Now, player safety. Is there anything worrying you about this huge thing we’re planning together? Also, if you’re a more experienced player, would you give me your #1 tip for how to survive your first game? I'm listening.
- Happy new year - Here's to making our wishes, and yours, come true next year! #odysseuslarp #odysseus #larp #ellariontales #nordiclarp #finnishlarp #scifilarp #scifi
- “Hello, friend. Have we met? I’m pretty sure I would have remembered. I’m Cassian Valdoran. I’d love to hear your thoughts about the working conditions in the colonies. Are we doing enough? Personally I always want to do more, but we also can’t build a better world if we burn ourselves out trying.”
- ❄️ We'll be off for a couple of days, focusing on *very important human duties*, as seen in this evidence. We'll be back in a couple of days. Social media team signing off! ❄️
- Happy Holidays from Officer Naali and all of us here in Ellarion Tales! ❤️ 🚀 ✨
- The soldiers of the Odysseus -larp need to find the fire within to keep on fighting against the Machine Threat. What is the cost they are willing to pay for the future of the human race...? Video: Valtteri Niskavaara Music: Hannu Sinervä Voiceover: Aarne Lindén
- The marines go out on land missions to retrieve something that will show the whole fleet a way forward. Sometimes we find more than we bargained for. These missions are recorded and streamed inside the mess hall for the rest of the crew. Epic encounters and hard decisions! Photos: Luka Pajukanta
- I’m Celia Marek. Ask anyone in my team, they’ll joke first, but then tell you I’m fiercely loyal. Being a marine runs in my family. To me, it’s a matter of honour to keep my mates alive. Even when I need to remind myself of the oath I took, and have nightmares for weeks after. Welcome to the team.

- Meet Scientist Liora Teshin, who will provide us with all the numbers and data, details and facts that are the basis of building Odysseus! You’ll meet them anytime there’s a need for analytical minds. #EllarionTales #OdysseusLarp #FinnishLarp #NordicLarp #ScifiLarp #Larp #EuroLarp #BlockbusterLarp
- Meiyu here! We’re launching the Ellarion Tales Community Discord. A place to get fresh updates straight from the team and chat with others who share the spark. Hop in; this crew is building something big, and we’re doing it together. discord.gg/7dBjnNVb4s
- You’ve heard of our mission, now meet the team behind everything you have seen so far! From our website you can see everyone's name and roles. We are so excited to be working together for this project! 💙 🌌 🤩 ellariontales.com/team
- Wheels are turning in the Odysseus building department, plans are drafted, and design needs some rebuilding too. We can’t wait to start creating our beloved ship again. However, now is the time to build community! Follow, share and talk about us to your friends to help with the crowdfunding! #Larp
- Engineer Meiyu is here to show us how to build the ship, story and community. Stay tuned!
- Very soon you’ll be introduced to some new characters that will occasionally take over this channel. These aren’t characters you can play in the larp, but archetypes that represent and introduce the different character groups. Stay tuned to get to know all nine of them!
- Didn’t have time to go through our second blog post? Here are the most important bits condensed for your convenience! Dive in and let us know what you think! ellariontales.com/blog/what-is...
- What truly matters are the moments that stay with us. The people, emotions, and memories that echo long after the larp ends. Thank you to everyone who’s shared their story. Share yours or help spread the word (link in bio) #EllarionTales #OdysseusLarp #FinnishLarp #ScifiLarp #Larp #Scifi
- Never heard about Odysseus – or wondering what’s new in Odysseus: First Light? Our latest blog post is here to get you up to speed: what stays the same, what changes, and what Odysseus truly is (and isn’t). 🚀 Read more: ellariontales.com/blog/what-is... #OdysseusLarp #Larp
- Last week, Laura represented ET at the Immersive Experience Network Summit in London! Great discussions on what other industries can learn from larp — and wonderful to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm for our field. #ImmersiveExperience #Larp
- Blog post TL;DR! Run Odysseus again? Well, okay. ET presents: Odysseus – First Light Crowdfunding next spring, tickets will be ~850 €. Runs from fall 2026, and we have plans for a sequel. Pls join the mailing list, visit the website, and support us. This is for you. You’re welcome.
- Calling the past crew of ESS Odysseus! Can you help us reach our future players? A brief personal story from your run or a recommendation would help us greatly on our way. Use the link in the first comment, and we might use your story in marketing and comms across platforms. Thank you!
- Q: Why run Odysseus as a company? A: It’s complicated, but it’s a mix of IP rights, sustainability and financial security. However, we’re not in this for profits. Odysseus will always be a passion project by larpers for larpers, and we won’t simplify the experience to reach a bigger audience.
- Endless possibilities - Odysseus: Way Home! Telling new stories, providing space for other larps, enabling youth and children larps and offering space for the community to create together #EllarionTales #OdysseusLarp #FinnishLarp #NordicLarp #ScifiLarp #Larp #EuroLarp #BlockbusterLarp #Scifi
