What is Dystopia Rising: New York?
Dystopia Rising: New York is a post-apocalyptic, horror zombie larp experience taking place on a campsite in Forestburgh, New York. We’re a fully immersive event, which means that you role-play as your character throughout the entire event.
As your character, you’ll experience various storylines and events that affect them and the world around them. You’ll fight zombies, embroil yourself in local post-apocalyptic politics, and deal with the trials of living in a hostile wasteland town.
We use the lightest touch system for combat against zombies and threats, which means that you use latex weapons or approved blasters to fight against the undead hordes.

What is your site like?
We run Dystopia Rising: New York on the beautiful Forestburg Scout Reservation about once per month. You can find the full list of events here.
The campsite has a full, dirt parking lot on your right after you enter the campsite. Cabins are located throughout the site and are equipped with mattresses, bathrooms, and potable water. Make sure to pack your own sleeping bag and be aware that rooms are shared. If you’d like a private space of your own, you can choose to instead bring a tent for set-up.
The site is located next to a lake, and does harbor wildlife such as raccoons, bears, and possums, so any food should be stored in the kitchen area. When you arrive, simply check in with us and we’ll help you get oriented.
