'''All the Little Boys Are Dead''' is a black box larp.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
All the Little Boys Are Dead is set in the trenches of the first world war, it follows 8 young men, in their struggle to survive while keeping their memories and sanity intact, while bombs are falling all around them and death comes to steal them away.<br />
<br />
All the Little Boys Are Dead is a larp running for two hours. It is heavily scripted and relays on both transparency and expectations among the players to work. The larps run-time is determined by the soundscape designed specific for the larp. The soundscape is a mix between nature sounds, bombs exploding and a horror track for when death comes. All the sounds is used as ques for the players, so they know how to react in a certain situation.<br />
<br />
All characters are played by two players, where one player is mute but can see and the other is blind but can talk. Between them they have three memories that keeps them alive, if they lose them the become hollow and are left in the trenches when the larp ends. The memories are inspired by everyday life and common feelings.<br />
<br />
<br />
The playing area is parted up in two areas, the trenches and no mans land. The trenches is the players safe-zone, where bombs can't hurt them.<br />
<br />
During the game, memories appear in the form of objects out in no mans land, these memories are inspired by the war. The players can venture out in no mans land in hope of getting the memory, but they are in danger of being hit by falling bombs.<br />
<br />
Finally Death comes around. Death comes in the form of two creatures in gas-masks and light shining out their eyes. The stalk and prey on the young men in the trenches. When they get a memory they eat it and is then satisfied. Death is not barred from the trenches and can hunt the soldiers everywhere.<br />
<br />
The game uses a design where the bombs and death are predefined by the soundscape, but the memories are randomly plotted in. The players know this, and by knowing it, knows that it is randomness that determines if they get caught by death or hit by a bomb. <br />
<br />
To mimic the bombs, dirt and rubble was thrown at the players, every time a bomb exploded. Smoke was used to create the hazy feelings of gas attacks and create the sensations of dread when death comes.<br />

<hr />
<div>Also known as meta room, a black box is a room where players may go during a larp to play scenes that don't fit into the here-and-now of the larp. The term is also used to describe a stand alone larp that takes place entirely in a black box.<br />
<br />
== Description == <br />
A black box usually has an audio system and adjustable lights, making it easy to change the ambience. Players may use it whatever way they like, but it is often suggested they play out flash-backs (scenes that happened before the larp) or flash-forwards (scenes that may occur in a hypothetical future). In some cases, an organizer might be present in the black box to help players facilitate their scenes and control the sound and lights. <br />
<br />
A player may invite any other players to enter the black box. Invitations might be made by the player whispering off-game, or by giving symbolic gifts such as a feather.<br />
<br />
A game can also take place entirely in a blackbox, where all players are dressed in black clothes, occasionally using props and/or costumes.<br />
<br />
== Uses ==<br />
Black boxes are used to enrich the stories of the characters beyond the time and space of the "main" larp, and to give players a break and an opportunity to think through their larping without having to go off-game.<br />
<br />
Black boxes might also be used for playing/dancing a symbolic version of something that is meant to be happening in-game, such as two characters fighting or having sex.<br />
<br />
== History == <br />
The black box has long history in the theatre world and was (probably) introduced first as technique in nordic larp at [[Swedish]], [[En stilla middag med familjen]] in [[2007]]. In [[2012]] the festival [[Blackbox CPH]] was started, focused on short larps using black box techniques.<br />
