Pandemonium

1980s. Atlantic City. It’s the biggest Halloween party in New Jersey, drawing colorful characters from up and down the coast. Everyone who comes is wearing a costume—or are they? During the party, everyone gets trapped in an otherworldly version of the Showboat, and must fight to hold on to their humanity and sense of self, or embrace the transformation and become something monstrous.

Long Description

Liminal Reflection Pandaemonium What is Pandaemonium? Pandaemonium is a freeform game of personal horror and identity. Players will portray party-goers heading to a costume party in the mid-1980s, and enter as part of a larger group. These groups will vary in goals, interest, and purpose. Shortly after the party begins, the party-goers will realize they've departed the mundane world, and are trapped someplace supernatural.

Players will explore relationships within their own groups, learn about the strangers trapped in the Showboat with them, and learn about themselves. Over the course of the event, they’ll encounter various phenomenon and discover personal connections with other party-goers. As they do, they’ll realize opportunities to transform and find the means to escape.

In the end, the players will face a choice of whether or not to have their characters leave... and accept the consequences thereof.
