IN HELSINKI, Finland
In summer 2019, a massive team of over 180 volunteers brought alive ESS Odysseus, a living and breathing starship. In the course of three runs, we took over 300 players from 24 different countries to an unforgettable journey through the stars. In summer 2024 the epic journey returns with three more runs.
RUN 1: JUN 27 - JUL 1 2024 (THURSDAY TO MONDAY) RUN 2: JUL 3 - JUL 7 2024 (WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY) RUN 3: JUL 10 - JUL 14 2024 (WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY) |
Odysseus is a Finnish style larp for 104 players set in a world inspired by Battlestar Galactica. Odysseus is a story about a band of survivors battling against an overwhelming enemy in the aftermath of a devastating attack on a human colony in a distant star system. It is a journey towards the unknown. It is a story about faith, hope and sacrifice. It is a story about survival.
If you want to relive the journey from 2019 runs, check out the amazing pictures from seven different photographers as well as the “We are Odysseus” video compiled from the footage filmed during the 1st international run.
