Sporebound LARP: Protest at Verdatech
Fri, December 4th, 2026
Sporebound is a retro funguspunk LARP set in a strange but familiar 1980's America, where players are symbiotic rebels allied with otherworldly mushrooms against the world's decay. As Tree Huggers, Dumpster Divers, or Shroomheads, you'll resist the corrupting force of the Blue Blight, and use Verdatech's strike as cover to investigate and sabotage a "green tech" company that’s anything but. Fight for the future by completing clandestine missions, making allies, and politicking with fellow Sporebound to decide your new leaders. Designed to be welcoming for new roleplayers. Max 90 players.
Players can register on-site at the Winding Path Initiative (WPI) table starting at 10AM. All materials provided. No prior experience necessary. Players must be 18 or older.
Sporebound LARP Escape Room: Sabotaging Verdatech
Sun, December 6th
(15 Minute Puzzles)
"Verdatech", a green tech company that is anything but, currently has a workers' strike disrupting their facility. They're hiring "scab" maintenance workers to get things back on track. Secretly, Verdatech has been corrupted by the same "Blue Blight" toxic mold that is destroying the rest of '80's America. Secretly, you are one of the Sporebound, symbiotic resistance fighters allied with otherworldly mushrooms "The Mycos", and you've been hired as one of those scabs. Solve problems at Verdatech while also sabotaging them and discovering their secrets.
No registration required. A queue will form outside Room 120A, with participants admitted in groups of 4–8 at a time, on a first-come, first-served basis. Puzzles take approximately 15 minutes to solve, and participants may requeue for multiple puzzles.
