Dystopia Rising: Pennsylvania Dystopia Rising Pennsylvania is an immersive LARP set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world. Dystopia Rising is a fully immersive, boffer-style larp.

Dystopia Rising (DR) is an immersive, weekend-long larp experience (live-action roleplay) where you play as your very own survivor character, working with others in your town and across the Wastes to survive in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies, raiders, and other threats that threaten the life you've tenuously established and the lives of those you hold near and dear. From Friday night to

Sunday afternoon you will be immersed in the world of the Wastes, collecting resources to survive, fending off hordes of the undead, and connecting with those around you who remind you what you're fighting for. Not sure what those words mean? Message us or check out our website for more information about larp and the world of DR! www.DystopiaRisingPA.com
