[[File:Offgame-runes.gif|thumb|Two variants of the Off-game runes common in Sweden and Norway.]]
A symbol very common in Sweden (and also in Norway, with a slight variation) is the "''off-game rune''" (also known in Swedish as ''Utgårdsrunan'', "''Outyards rune''") which indicates that an object (such as a chest or door) is not "in-game", and should be ignored. Commonly used to mark a pouch or similar carried during the larp in which the player stores non-diegetic items they need during the larp (such as medicine, a phone or other items). The creation of the Off-game rune is attributed to [[Gabriel Sandberg]]<ref>Lajv 101, https://www.lajv101.com/off-runa-mm/</ref> in the 1990s.
In some nordic larps, especially geared towards international players, the symbol has simply been replace with the text "''OFF GAME''".
