ConQuest of Mythodea – LARP

World's Largest LARP

For over two decades, ConQuest of Mythodea has been the largest Live-Action Role-Play (LARP) event in the world. Annually, it gathers around 10,000 participants from Germany, Europe, and overseas, who experience and co-create stories together in a unique fantasy world – the world of Mythodea. Comparable events in the USA, Great Britain, or Scandinavia do not reach this scale.

What is LARP?

Live-action role-playing is a form of interactive storytelling: participants slip into roles – warriors, mages, thieves, healers, merchants, nobles, peasants – dress accordingly, inhabit a camp with other players for the duration of the event, and collectively shape a living, unscripted theater. Conflicts are resolved with padded weapons (latex and foam), magic is represented symbolically, and complex narratives unfold over several days.

Rittergut Brokeloh – The Natural Stage

The venue is the expansive grounds of Rittergut Brokeloh, a district of the municipality of Stolzenau in the Nienburg/Weser district. The area, featuring forests, meadows, moats, and historic buildings, provides the ideal backdrop for a world of fantasy and medieval ambiance. Several camps with hundreds of tents are set up across the grounds, transforming the entire area into a living game world.

Program

Arrival is possible from Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, to set up and establish camps. The official opening, including a welcome, setting introduction, and grand staging, takes place on Wednesday, August 5th; gameplay begins around 6:30 PM. In the following days, battles, diplomacy, magic, conspiracies, feasts, and rituals unfold within a highly complex game system. The event concludes on Sunday, August 9th, 2026, with the dismantling of camps and departure.

Economic and Cultural Factor

With 10,000 participants, ConQuest of Mythodea is a significant economic factor for the region, contributing to accommodation, catering, logistics, and security. Simultaneously, the event draws attention far beyond the region, making Brokeloh and Stolzenau well-known names in the international LARP scene.
