Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) games and similar experiences are becoming a\npopular game genre. Here, we discuss how artificial intelligence techniques,\nparticularly those commonly used in AI for Games, could be applied to LARP. We\ndiscuss the specific properties of LARP that make it a surprisingly suitable\napplication field, and provide a brief overview of some existing approaches. We\nthen outline several directions where utilizing AI seems beneficial, by both\nmaking LARPs easier to organize, and by enhancing the player experience with\nelements not possible without AI.\n
