WHAT IS DEPARTING DYSTOPIA?

Departing Dystopia is The Ultimate Live Action Role Play Adventure.

Each new event is like a new episode of your favorite post-apocalyptic dramedy series. Only instead of sitting on the couch and watching it on a screen, you and everyone else attending the event are literally a character in the story as it unfolds in real time!

The Departing Dystopia Saga takes cosplay and larping to a whole…

  • …new level. Our live episodic events each take place in a real life place. Whether it’s a bar, nightclub, bathhouse, campground, strip club, parking structure, arena, or stadium, these places are reimagined as a way to depart our actual dystopia!


    What does all this even mean? Basically, we take over real life places, create fictional backstories, then transform those places into veritable multi-sensory playgrounds.

    Perhaps the most exciting thing about our Departing Dystopia Adventures is that we invite you to be the person you’ve always wanted to be. New recruits often just show up early in regular outfits because they’ve booked pre-episode “Second Reality Makeovers” from our talented theatrical costume, hair, and makeup artists.

    The whole “Second Reality Character” creation process is highly interactive. From the moment you start to follow us and engage with us on Instagram. As a result, by the time you show up to the next live episode/event, you already feel like you’re a part of a new community. Oftentimes, we’ll even create a character for you before you even show up to your first adventure!

    Thinking this sounds like only for meant eccentric drama nerds? Think again. Our events are attended by rebel misfits from all walks of life.

    To create your character in our “Second Reality” we just need to get to know you a bit better first. Based on your social media presence and all of our interactions on Instagram, we’ll come up with a name, fictitious backstory, and AI assisted digital avatar for character. All of this will inspire not just a costume, but an actual alternate version of yourself. One who can safely take risks, explore, and even begin to heal from the trauma that made you mask who you really are from the rest of the world.

    But wait…there’s more! Once each episode takes place, an alternate version of it can also take place somewhere else! Or there could even be a “Rerun” at the same place at a later date! Of course, no two live, immersive, interactive events like this could ever be exactly the same, but that’s what makes this all so fun. You never know which veteran characters or new characters will show up. The plot twists and alternate endings are virtually limitless!

DD/<CYBER-WARFARE>

Our first group upload to Second Reality. Made possible by hacking into the Amazian Government’s propaganda machine, encouraging rebels from both sides of the divide to flee to TSIMECA Basecamp.

During our upload, our system…

  • …became infected by an unknown virus that was later traced back to a government spy who has since been terminated. In an ironic twist of events, the tragedies experienced by our collective consciousness during this upload created such a powerful emotional response that we inadvertently crippled the Amazian Surveillance and AI Attack Drones.

    This allowed citizens from both sides of the West America / East America divide to reunite with their loves ones in the neutral zone for the first time in decades.

DD/<DEEPEST_DESIRES>

Now that TSIMECA has effectively disrupted the Amazian Monopoly’s cruel and oppressive regime, America has been reunited and can finally dare to…

  • …dream their own dreams without incurring unjust censorship and harsh punishments.

    Our second collective upload to Second Reality will be an entirely new adventure. Imagine living in a fairytale where you can be anyone you want to be while playing out your most secret desires in a completely safe environment. Prepare to be blown away all new interactive performances set amidst our dramatically upgraded multi-sensory funhouse.

DD/<ULTRA-VIOLENT>

The ongoing war between the heartless Amazian Regime and our growing army of justice warrior rebels has become increasingly violent. TSIMECA rebel casualties…

  • …and disappearances have only made us more sure that this handful of greedy Bionic Billionaires must be destroyed.

    No longer will we hide in the Dystopian Woods while they treat our fellow citizens like nothing more than lab rats.

    No longer will we escape to Second Reality. We know now that even there, we’ll never truly be able to live in peace and harmony. We must storm their headquarters if we want to put in end to this living hell we call Actual Reality. 

    If we don’t act now, these Bionic Billionaires will continue to use their divisive algorithms, powerful pharmaceuticals, and DADSS (Delivery Attack Drone Surveillance System) to keep we the people fearfully complicit.

DD/<BLISS_FEST>

We’re tired of fighting. We are heart-broken. All trust in each other is gone. All hope seems lost. We are in hiding. It’s taking everything…

  • …we’ve got just to stay alive.

    How can we ever again find hope for a better future when we’re barely surviving? The Amazian Regime is actively hunting down all rebels, misfits, and outcasts. We need to find a way to comply, fit in, and rejoin Amazian Society. We need to fool the evermore discriminatory Amazian Algorithm.

    To do this, we need Bliss. We must rid our souls of their darkness and willingly bathe in the toxic positivity expected from an Amazian Loyalist. It’s our only hope. It’s not going to be easy, but together, I believe we can do it.

DD/<BIONIC_BALLET>

In this Dystopia, we the humans have become the collectibles. We are here solely to serve, please, and entertain.

The immortal multi-billionaires of this post-apocalyptic future have enslaved us. They’ve perfected the art of…

  • controlling our thoughts and dictating our every move. At first this was done through brainwashing, conditioning, controlling the information, and addicting us to their advanced pharmaceuticals. Then came the brain chips.

DD/<SPACE_RACE>

Like all Departing Dystopia experiences, Space Race is a completely unique adventure.

Space Race takes place as part of the Departing Dystopia Saga/Story. It’s an “episode” in this ultimate…

  • larping (live action role play) adventure we’ve created.

    Space Race is a fantasy competition to win the ultimate “Escapation” for you and your friends.

    Space Race is also a brand new, real life nation wide competition.

OUR (HOPEFULLY FICTIONAL) NEAR FUTURE BACKSTORY…

In this dystopian future America, the Supreme Court rules that it’s unconstitutional to prevent monopolies.

Within a matter of months the only remaining company in America is Amazia, Inc. A few years later…

  • …Amazia bails out a now bankrupt American Government. America is then officially rebranded as Amazia, the world’s first entirely privatized country.

    The Amazian Government was supposed to be a “Modern Democracy”. They claimed the new nation would be ruled entirely based on the needs of the people as determined through surveillance and data collection. They lied.

    As today’s billionaires continued to get richer, the rest of the population continued to get poorer. Oddly, the impoverished citizens still identified as either Blue or Red. They refused to unite as one Amazia. The algorithms Amazia used to divide and conquer America had bred hatred so deep there was only one way to prevent civil war…

    The Separately Equal Treaty

    All Blue not already living in the western half of the country must relocate to the Left. This became West Amazia.

    All Red not already living in the eastern half of the country must relocate to the Right. This became East Amazia.

    A “Buffer Zone” was created right down the center of the country. Here the billionaires planned live happily ever after.

    Eventually, AI-directed drones built, upgraded, and repaired themselves. With the help of advanced pharmaceuticals, this Delivery Attack Drone Security System (The DADSS) autonomously governed the new dual nations. In general, MOST East and West Amazian Citizens felt safe and content.

    However, there was still a significant portion of the population who remained unhappy. These rebels, misfits, and outcasts began to disappear into the heavily wooded areas of the Buffer Zone. There they planned to live off the grid, undetectable by The DADSS. This, of course, was highly illegal and considered an act of Domestic Terrorism by the Amazian Regime.

    These rebels, misfits, and outcasts began to find each other in the woods. Before long, they formed a secret society and established a hidden Basecamp.

    We are this society. We are the rebels, misfits, and outcasts. We are the last remaining human soldiers. The new freedom fighters. We are TSIMECA.
