The aim of the paper is to introduce larp as an alternative form of medium. Larping has grown into a quite specific medium with a unique combination of characteristics. I show how participants are encouraged to escape reality, explore it, how they are exposed to it or how they could change it. I focus on the possibilities and limitations of larping as a participatory medium. I conclude that larp should not be a widespread medium, although it is very effective in affecting its selected audience.
