Sign up process & payments

Sign up open

Until the 28th December at 23.59 CET you can sign up for the game
We will make a lottery that will take into account nationalities, experience and safety check info.

There will be a safety cross-check for all participants.

We send all participants the signup list so they can yellow flag someone or red flag that person. 

  • Yellow flag: I prefer not to play with this person, you’ll need to let us know if you are ok playing in different groups or don’t want to be in the same run. In the second case, as the larp has only one run, one of you gets a spot in the lottery, the other person won’t get a place.
  • Red flag: «I think this person is unsafe to play with». We will need to contact you to get first hand info.

All process is confidential and we will delete all info regarding safety cross-check once the larp has ended.

The tickets are not bound to a specific group. The casting (and assignment to groups) will happen in October, when you will receive your character sheet.

PAYMENTS

  • First payment: 48 hours after receiving your confirmation, 125€+ your donation to the reduced ticket fund (if you are making any).
  • Second payment by 5th Jun 24: 90€ (reduced ticket), 155€ (regular ticket).
  • Third payment by 5th Jul 24: 90€ (reduced ticket), 145€ (regular ticket).
  • Fourth payment by 5th Sep 24: 75€ (reduced ticket), 145€ (regular ticket).

If you need to make your payment in more installments or change the payments dates, please contact us, we are usually very flexible: hello@notonlylarp.com

CANCELLATION POLICY

In the unfortunate event that you need to cancel your attendance to the event, our cancellation and resell policy is as follows: Players are not allowed to directly resell their tickets. You need to inform us and we will reach out to players on the waiting list. But if you want to sell your addon to another player, we can talk about it.

The larp signup fee (125€) is non-refundable.

4 months before the larp, the refundable part of the ticket will be 50% of the total.

If you cancel your participation two months or less before the larp starts, there will be no refunds.

The organizers reserve the right to refuse a participant the right to participate in the larp without giving any reason. In such a case, the full fee will be returned to the participant. The organizers also reserve the right to refuse a participant to continue the larp if said participant makes the larp an unsafe place. In such a case, no refund will be given.

Other considerations

ALCOHOL, AFTER GAME DINNER AND PARTY

We won’t serve alcohol in-game, but we will sell it at the afterparty at our bar. We will have an in-game bar where you can buy sodas, energy drinks, and coffee or tea.

Water is always free at the game.

ARRIVAL AT PARK

We will arrange a charter “larp bus” for those coming by train or airplane; it will depart from Seville (the international airport closest to the location) on Saturday at 9:00 and return to Seville on Tuesday around 11.

If you prefer to fly to Madrid instead of Seville, a high-speed train takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Seville.

TECHNOLOGY

There will be a website that will enhance the robot-human interaction and the interaction between the different company departments. It will always be used as an addition and with the sole purpose of helping us tell the story.

All players will need a smartphone, able to run Discord.

Aleph characters will also need a tablet. If you don’t own one, please ask us.

To play the game, you’ll need mobile internet access; if you need a sim card, you could buy one from us.

The larp experience will be improved with the technology, but it is not based on technology.

COSTUMES AND PROPS

All characters will need a period-appropriate costume. The clothes should match the visual style but need not be historically correct.

Most characters from Aleph will need to wear the official Aleph uniform and will bring a smartphone with headphones and a tablet. We will provide Aleph’s uniform.

Hosts will need a smartphone with headphones.

ACCESIBILITY

The location is an old castle and there are some playing areas that are only accessible with stairs. Unfortunately, it is not wheelchair accessible.
If you want to ask us about your specific case, please send us an email to hello@notonlylarp.com

SANTIAGO CASTLE

The castle will be closed to tourists. We have exclusive use of the location.

The game’s location is in the Santiago Castle, Cádiz (Spain), which was built by the House of Medina Sidonia between 1477 and 1478. 

From its construction until 1645, the castle served as a ducal fortress, where illustrious visitors such as Isabella the Catholic, Christopher Columbus, Magellan, and Juan Sebastian Elcano landed on their voyages from Seville. It was also home to the «Casa de la Contratación», established by the Catholic Monarchs to control the ships, their cargoes, and passages to and from the New World.
