What is Dystopia Rising?
Dystopia Rising is a post-apocalyptic wasteland survival Live-Action Role-Playing game set in the United States many years after the fall of humanity due to the hubris of humanity. This game is a Full Immersion weekend LARP that starts between 9pm and 10pm Friday night, and runs until noon on Sunday.
Dystopia Rising focuses on the theme of a community attempting to survive and thrive under the constant threat of raiders, zombies, critters, and other survivors who want to take everything from you. You can expect to see plotlines and events take place that have to do with moral dilemmas, difficult choices, and loss.
Having a good experience at Dystopia Rising: The Pike is not difficult, and our staff aims to make every weekend a memorable one. However, there are some things you can do leading up to your first weekend to make it much more enjoyable!

NPC Shift
NPC Shifts are a 4 hour period (Sometimes 6 or None depending on your ticket choice after your first (SEE ABOVE) games), where you are given a role, costuming (to wear over your regular, plain clothing), and props to play that role out in the weekend’s story for other players to interact with. This period of time will be selected when you check in to the event, and will be based in Ops, which is a designated building on the campsite. During your shift, you will portray a variety of roles depending on what modules (hour-ish long interactive stories) are planned for that time period.
