- The creator has 20 years of experience blending digital and physical worlds through ARGs and location-based games.
- Strandfall is a new outdoor larp co-created with Alex Macmillan, combining physicality, technology, and role-playing.
- Players use custom-built 'McNair-Feldman Devices' with long-range radio, GPS, and ePaper displays for gameplay tasks.
- Smartphones are avoided to prevent anti-enchantment and encourage immersion, communication, and challenge.
- The game emphasizes physical movement, accessibility, and role-playing, with veteran designer Juhana Pettersson as a consultant.
- Strandfall is site-responsive and designed for repeatability and extensibility beyond its Edinburgh debut.
