Hide in plain sight as you explore dozens of locations throughout New York City. Fight, hack, and discover arcane rituals, merging cyberpunk and fantasy. Sacrifice your friends, your beliefs and even yourself… for the greater good.
Scapegoat is a story of urban noir that takes place in a hidden world inside New York City. For four days, you hide in plain sight, playing members of an arcane society in crisis. This larp takes place in locations throughout New York City, and focuses on the personal relationships that are questioned, strained and broken when you make pragmatic choices “for the greater good.” A sprawling event telling an ambitious story, Scapegoat combines elements of cyberpunk, modern fantasy, and political thriller while using all of New York City as its backdrop.
