Tuhannen viillon kuolema (Finland, 2018, Eng. Death by a Thousand Cuts) was a larp about climate change and class war designed by Juhana Pettersson and produced by Massi Hannula. It was run in Helsinki, Finland, and based on Juhana Pettersson's novel with the same title.
The characters were divided in three social classes: the poor, the middle class, and the rich. Many of the middle class characters were working at company called New Life that marketed climate change survival solutions for the rich. The poor tried to survive on what they could, and the middle class characters were on the verge of burnout, while the rich led comfortable lives. The idea was that towards the end of the larp, the poor would be so wound up that they would start murdering the rich.
The larp happened in several locations around the city of Helsinki (New Life office, an apartment of a poor person, a party apartment for the rich, etc), and the players moved between the locations during runtime. Characters were created through the online system Larpweaver, where players could choose various attributes for their characters (e.g. social class, core group, etc) and scenes where their characters would take part in (e.g. a talk show on poverty on the national media, a job interview, a party). This way, each player had a personal timetable that was built out of the scenes that they had chosen on Larpweaver.
The rules of the larp stated that only rich characters could get murdered, and only poor characters could murder others.
Tuhannen viillon kuolema used the social media platform Kin for in-game social media.
