"It was such an amazing event, filled with camaraderie, laughter and empathy. Loved meeting so many new people and simultaneously getting to know familiar faces on a deeper level. The kindness and compassion shown around our community was next level. Already looking forward to the next one."

Kiki - Utah
Out of the few larps I’ve been to, Hynafol is the one where I feel most impactful as a player. I really appreciate how digestible the lore is, especially when they put on a play at the beginning of the event to catch you up on the story thus far! So many fun quests, battles, monster hunts, and many friends made. I can’t wait to come back.

Jayde - Victoria, BC
My experiences at Hynafol have been and continue to be absolutely magical. The attention to detail in the immersion and storytelling make me feel like I step straight into another world every single event. The quests are engaging, the characters and community are unforgettable, and the whole event is brilliantly organized and for the players. I leave feeling inspired, enchanted, and eager to build and create more every single time.
