Wish Upon a Star

Did you ever make a wish on a shooting star? It’s said that a wish contains unlimited potential – powerful enough to change your past, your future, your entire life, the universe even. But change isn’t always for the better. If you had the chance, would you make a wish?

Maybe you would. Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe you don't know. Or maybe you don't care.

Regardless of your beliefs in such superstitions, you all reside in the little town of Remény. Every year, people gather to see the most brilliant celestial event around, creating one memorable night of fun and festivities before it's back to being a quiet old town for the rest of the 364 days. And tonight is when those festivities begin. When the stars align this evening, who knows what will happen?

Wish Upon A Star is a highly emotional, mechanics-light theatrical larp. Gameplay starts with characters focused on playing mini-games and having fun at a school festival. As things progress though, it's clear everything is not what it seems. Mature themes — such as references to addiction, sex, drugs, alcohol, homophobia, bigotry, suicide, bullying, disorders, illnesses, and the like — are present in character sheets.

All the materials to run the game are provided, along with a comprehensive Game Runner's Guide to help you make sense of it all. Everyone from veteran Game Masters to those completely new to larping should have an easy time with our thorough but concise review of common terminology, etiquette, and safety measures, as well as game-specific instructions.
