Base58⛓️🔓's World Famous Bitcoin LARP*

*Live Action Role Play

Table of Contents

About the Game

The Bitcoin LARP is designed for 12 to 36 players, divided into 6 groups. It typically runs for 90m to 2hrs, depending on the group size and experience level.

The game has been played at bitcoin conferences and meetups world-wide, and is a fantastic yet challenging way to really understand what is happening on the bitcoin network.

There are several phases of the game, each one builds on the previous.

By the end, the group should have walked through:

- inspecting the contents of a bitcoin-core node
- validating a bitcoin transaction
- writing a bitcoin transaction
- building a peer to peer network
- exchanging messages over a peer to peer network
- building block templates
- mining for new blocks
- validating bitcoin blocks

The bitcoin LARP was designed by @niftynei, @base58btc's lead instructor and longtime Lightning protocol engineer.

First you'll need the materials for the gameset. We've put this over in the BOM, which is short for Bill of Materials.

Once you've collected and assembled everything you need, you'll be ready to play your first game.

Follow the instructions in the docs folder to setup and play.
