Rather than the larp transiting from "in-game" to "over" at a given moment, players spend some time in an in-between state where they do not communicate with each other but spend time thinking and reflecting. Slow landings are typically meditative, and may be accompanied by music or the voice of an instructor guiding the transition.
== Uses ==
The slow landing may be used for purely aesthetic reasons, but is also intended to help players begin the process of [[de-rolling roling]] by providing a private space for thought and reflection. Additionally, it makes it easier for players to form divergent opinions on a larp experience, before the majority opinion can be discerned.
== History and Examples ==
The slow landing was introduced at [[Europa]] where it took the form of a long silent waiting phase as characters gathered and a hypnotic count-down after their arrival. A similar, but briefer landing was used at [[inside:outside]], while [[PanoptiCorp]] ended with each player receiving a memo saying "the game is about to end. Take your time. When you are ready, walk out of the gates and meet the other players."
