Join Side Quest Books & Games and GM Courtney for an Austen-inspired live-action role-playing (LARP) game of secrets, silliness, and supernatural forces! Betrothals & Betrayals is a regency-era LARP inspired by the works of Jane Austen and Susanna Clark.

Betrothals & Betrayals plays for 10 to 13 players, most of whom are characters who don't realize that the supernatural not only lurks beneath the surface of their idyllic lives, but sits dangerously close to them in their day-to-day—not yet, at least. No LARP experience is necessary to play, but some amount of roleplay experience is suggested (your tabletop roleplaying game skills will transfer surprisingly easily!) because of how many characters need to take active initiative to move the story along. Wear your regency best, or modern formalwear.
