Make a Scene! Scenario Festival
North America’s European-style larp festival returns on August 14 - 16, 2026 in Minneapolis. Make a Scene is the only stand-alone festival this side of the Atlantic that premieres brand new larps organized around a bespoke theme. www.makeascenemn.org
- This is a great *paid* opportunity for larp designers from @makeascenemn.bsky.social! Submit a short pitch and if selected get $300 to write the scenario. First-time designers and BIPOC are especially encouraged to pitch – and you can be from anywhere!
- Thanks for amplifying our call for pitches! Letting folks write us games from afar is the shortest route to having world-class offerings at our festival, and we're frankly mystified that more festivals don't do the same.
- 2026 THEME & CALL FOR LARP PITCHES The scenarios at Make A Scene: TEMPO explore new realms of time and pace, harmony and discord, synchronicity and stasis. They’re flooding the zone – we’re dreaming futures worth living in. Time to make a scene!
