That's more people than live in Vatican City.

Frostpunk is the first society survival game. As the ruler of the last city on Earth, it is your duty to manage both its citizens and infrastructure. What decisions will you make to ensure your society's survival? What will you do when pushed to breaking point? Who will you become in the process?

Sign-ups for Frostpunk L.A.R.P. 2027 are open!

2026-09-22

Hello Citizens, Our friends from Larp Venture opened sign-ups for another edition of Frostpunk L.A.R.P!: Will the community survive? Frostpunk: The Last Recon will take over a historic fort in Poland. Join for a live experience created in our partnership with LarpVenture. This is live-action role-play: you step into your character’s shoes and make decisions as if you were truly there. No script or audience. Just you, the other players, and the consequences of your choices. You’ll chop wood, go for a recon and decide who gets to eat. This is where Frostpunk leaves the screen and becomes something you experience with your body and mind.

Read the full notes

The Last Recon takes you to one of Frostpunk’s remote outposts. Food is scarce, the cold is merciless, and tensions rise as survival becomes increasingly uncertain. You’ll negotiate, lead, build, and sacrifice - because not everyone can be saved. The City depends on you. Check out the video from previous editions: Use code CITYMUSTLIVE11 for 11% off! Take care! ~ 11 bit studios Team

Is it a bit 'of the "tism'' in me to find peace in micromanaging heat maps and ration distributions while the temperature drops to -120°C? Maybe. For me, this isn't a game about suffering; it’s a game about order. In a world that...
