[[Nathan Hook]] and Kielo Maria Blomqvist presented an updated version played in English to an international audience in Finland in April 2014.

[[Nathan Hook]] co-organised a further international run in the Netherlands in January 2015, and co-organised a new expanded version with 12 players in Finland in March 2015.
Pan is a psychological horror scenario dealing with the themes of identity and nature. Players play couples attending a relationship therapy for the weekend, and are encouraged to book with a friend (not a real partner) to play a couple. The therapist-couple use a mixture of classical techniques and esoteric methods. In terms of genre the larp could be considered gothic horror based on classic literature, and psychological horror, with a modern setting. It does not fit into many conventional notions of horror, due to the lack of 'monsters.'
-NOK 2250 or NOK 1250 for the Norwegian run in November 14.
-120 euro for the Jan 15 Netherlands run.
-140 euro for the March 15 Finland run.
Logistics: The larp is run as fully catered, and normally runs in a holiday home location with modern facilities. The November 14 run took place in a 19th-century folly castle.
A review of the design was written by one of players of the April 2014 Finnish/internatonal run (in French): http://www.electro-gn.com/7463-critique-de-gn-pan
A Facebook group titled 'Pan;' also exists. It is not tied to a particular run: https://www.facebook.com/groups/172274392912858/
