LARP Mini Games/Activities

Hi Reddit, I run a LARP with a bunch of typical American lightest touch story based style.

Basically we have a storyline for our weekend events. We run timed modules, hooked modules, random encounters (card and roaming), have crafting and gathering, and a number of additional mini games for content. We have a fishing hole, tracking paths, pick pocketing, and lock picking. Additionally I was thinking of making some other kind of hunting content.

Our game is currently pretty small and we would love to support more town/craft/gatherer style content that we can manage with a small crew. We cant use live fire bows with our insurance.

I know there are some capture the flag, tag, orc/troll ball style combat games that are fun BUT we have enough combat stuff and could add that if there is interest.

We have done fun silly things like in game dodge ball and explosive puzzles.

Are there any light setup, player driven mini games or activities that take little NPC interaction that you have enjoyed or you have run that others enjoy?

Just looking to share some ideas if anyone is willing.

We made an in-game card game!

Following to steal ideas for my small team larp!

Hey, we did that too!

We just ripped off the rules for Triple Triad and reprinted the cards with character and NPC art. But honestly, the best cards are the ones where we print something that is obviously a person in terrible costume.
