LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, its like a sport for geeks and it requires them to wear costumes and carry a sword and shield made of foam or non harmful materials to human, I didnt know that we have this LARPing game here in our country and looks like the people at New Worlds Alliance are now organizing a LARP activity for the "Suzanne Collin's book - Mockingjay" book launching event at Bestsellers Robinsons Galeria.
The LARP event is inline with the book launching party on August 29, 2010 at 1pm-5pm in Bestsellers. The LARP activity will be about the "Quartell Quell" and its from the CATCHING FIRE book, a sequel of THE HUNGER GAMES. (more details below)
The Quarter Quell LARP is composed of 1 boy and 1 girl, they will compete and fight with other team and who ever got hit with the sword dies and losses. Looks fun! and I want to watch this on August 29. But if you are interested in grabbing the book early and want to join the LARP games, check out the full details here at http://newworlds.ph/content/mockingjay-hunger-games-trilogy-book-3-book-launch
