Realm of LARP: Amulet of Life
High Score Game Arcade Presents: Realm of LARP: The Movie
Enter a world where fantasy isn’t escapism — it’s survival.
Join us at The Creek and The Cave in Austin, TX for Realm of LARP: The Movie panel discussion with moderater Brad Booker from (94.7FM).
With over one million views online, Realm of LARP has emerged as the only documentary about LARPing embraced by hardcore fans of the community. Unlike traditional reality shows, the series follows central characters who have spent years — sometimes decades — developing alternate personas that live, fight, and evolve through epic adventures.
These aren’t contestants playing dress-up.
These are fully realized identities navigating an unforgiving fantasy realm.
Whether you’re a longtime LARPer, a fantasy obsessive, or completely new to the scene, this event offers a rare look into a world where imagination, identity, and combat collide
Stick around for Roast Battle and the midnight announcement of ALL the winners for Highscore Game Arcade

Last minute plans are some of the best. Free last minute plans are even better. The list of free things to do in Austin felt a little short, so we’ve been steadily adding new weekly shows to our calendar that cost nothing, zilch, nada. Free. The city might be expensive, but the comedy doesn’t have to be.
There aren’t a lot of Austin comedy clubs that have free weekly shows hosting some of the biggest names in stand-up. If you just paid rent and still wanna make date night memorable, swing by The Creek for one of our many free shows.
