Black box larps is generally referred to as a subtype of [[chamber larp]]s that is played in a [[black box]]. Due to the flexibility of a black box venue, almost any chamber larp can be played in a black box, however the genre normally refer to larps designed to take advantage of the opportunities given by a black box that a normal room does not have. Black box larps were initially often regular chamberlarps or freeform scenarios modified for playing in a black box at festivals where these facilities were available, such as [[Prolog]] and [[Grenselandet]]. In [[2012]] the festival [[Blackbox cph]] started as the first event focusing solely on black box chamberlarps.

* Use of lights
* Use of sounds
* Use of props
