What is LARP?

LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, a type of interactive gaming in

storyline was developed/written by one or more moderator or game
master. The user decides what to choose a single or more characters of the
game independently.
Usually, there are two sorts of LARP,
"Combat" and "Theatre". There are transparent and rigid
difference between them. Combat LARP is written on the basis of Conflict,
Revolution, Civil war etc. while murder mystery and conspiracy weekends type
based themes are called Theatre. Many games are medieval period and fantasy
based in which many characters are derived from ancient or medieval period
stories or Dungeons & Dragons stories. LARP games are long-running or
ever-running games that is divided in many episodes in the story
