A megagame is a type of large-scale simulation which can contain elements of role-playing games, tabletop games, LARPs and wargames. Megagames are typically played with a large number of participants, ranging from 30 to several hundred. Each player can be assigned specific roles and responsibilities within a structured setting that simulates real-world systems or fictional scenarios. The games are designed to promote teamwork, strategic thinking, and decision-making through the integration of complex rules and evolving gameplay. Communication amongst players is critical as they must negotiate, align, and sometimes compete with each other to achieve individual or collective goals. Megagames are played over several hours, often lasting an entire day, giving participants the opportunity to dive deeply into the elaborate game environment and develop significant narratives.
