What does fighting involve at Treasure Trap events?
Treasure Trap is a live combat larp system, which means that if a character decides to attack someone, the player will physically hit that person with a weapon. The weapons we use are all standard foam larp weapons, which receive regular safety checks. It’s against the rules to use a larp weapon in a way likely to hurt a player- for example, you aren’t allowed to stab with a weapon, or aim for someone’s face or other sensitive areas. However, we find that if you use larp weapons properly (light, slashing cuts only), the padded blades are unlikely to hurt anyone. Any Treasure Trap member should be able to give you a demonstration of safe fighting technique.
