What is Wonderplace Alpha?
Welcome to Wonderplace Alpha—a realm where steampunk meets starships, where faeries dance under string lights in a 200-year-old barn, and where mischief, magic, and music collide for one unforgettable weekend.
This isn’t just a faire. It’s not a con. It’s a crossroads—stitched together by revelers, rogues, makers, musicians, mystics, and the occasional vampire.
A liminal space where the rules of physics are more like guidelines, and Halloween is a year-round state of mind.
Expect:
• 🎩 Steampunk Balls
• 🧛 Goth Nights
• 🧙♀️ Wizards, witches, and wandering weirdos
• 🎭 Immersive play—or just excellent people-watching
• 🎶 Live music and shows all weekend
Bring a character, or just bring yourself. There’s no wrong way to enter Wonderplace.

❓ FAQs
Do I have to dress up?
Not at all. But you’re welcome to. Steampunk, fae, post-apocalyptic, alien wanderer—all welcome. Or just be yourself.
Is this a LARP?
Sort of. There’s no combat, no stats—just open-ended roleplay, character vibes, worldbuilding, and immersion. You can participate in the interactive universe or just enjoy the show.
Is it kid-friendly?
Mostly, yes. Daytime is whimsical and all-ages friendly. Evenings can get stranger, but still welcoming.
Indoor or outdoor?
Both. A historic barn meets open-air field space. It’s a gorgeous natural site, but plan for rustic realities—limited electricity and some rugged terrain. Dress like you’re going dimension-hopping.
Can I participate in story or factions?
Absolutely. Join the Faeborne, Wastelanders, Darklings, or Albion—or create your own. Play as much or as little as you like.
“The aim of our LARP is much more social and worldbuilding than fighting and problem-solving. There’s not even a combat mechanic. Where we come from, disputes are settled via ping-pong or Who’s Going To Fall Into The Volcano First?”
