OVERVIEW
Undercity - JUly 18 + july 19
6-11pm. 21+. $30.
Welcome to the UNDERCITY.
Deep in the Arcane underground of the Undercity is a neon lit and bass bumping lair- filled to the brim with hedonistic dance, lasers, petty crime, and the simmering tension expected between clashing Shimmer fueled syndicates. And you’re invited.
Embody a character and lose yourself in a new life in Zaun!
(Mandatory arrival by 6:30pm for admittance, due to a short safety workshop before the party.)
Part LARP, part Rave, all-Immersive Experience- this Arcane theme party combines dancing the night away to your favorite hyperpop Arcane soundtracks mixed by Tacoma's own DJ Spookachu, with personalized missions for each player. Bar available.
As each Undercity profile is custom cast to best fit your survey answers, tickets are limited!
Not everyone is expected to, or can, participate in every activity or character trope- you tell us what you’d prefer in a survey before the Undercity Immersive begins. Party animal? Sneaky thief? Edgy artist? Lone wolf? Bodyguard? Saboteur? Be the main character of your own Arcane story with us.

Arrival before 6:35PM also allows for taking pictures with our amazing cosplayers, help with your character sheet, and meeting your facilitators! There is a local brewery next-door if you'd like to wait there a bit as well. -
LARP stands for live-action roleplay. If you ever played pretend as a kid, you have probably tried it! As adults though it is broadly interacting with your environment as a character, typically in a costume. and using your irl body to play out the game.
Imagine it like improv, but in this case, you’re immersed in the arcane themed environment of a zaun night club. And since everyone is following the convention of being in a cool undercity night club surrounded by badass main characters… you Are one!
There is no one right way to “win” at larp- just have fun, support your faction, and follow basic rules. We’re all trying our best and making it up on the spot! -
If you have already purchased your ticket, but haven’t gotten a character casting survey, you can fill it out at this link.
We send them out in batches, so there is naturally some delay. Fill it out at least 7 days before your game, so we can custom cast your character! -
This is a dream of supporting local immersive theater and live-action roleplay in Tacoma a sustainable reality! For now, the price firmly remains at $30, to keep games more accessible.
No AI, no shortcuts, only a labor of artist love. I am purposefully trying to make this a space where people can have fun and help build a community, with creative play and value for your time. Especially if we can keep selling out games (a girl can dream), I can keep channeling my inner Costco HotDog CEO and keep the tickets inexpensive so more people can attend.
If you’d like to support more, please invite a friend, or bring some extra cash to tip our fabulous live DJ, bartender, and staff artists! -
DL Spookachu! A tacoma local she’s spinning all the arcane soundtrack and punk high energy hyperpop that our noise ordanance allows. [this is a joke, the music is bumpin’ but we have designated quieter spaces for roleplay too.

The cost margins mean our event space can’t process refunds for this event right now, sorry! If you get a ticket, it’s a commitment.

It was a rocking name for our first event, but after some googling, and another immersive company has been using immersivexp [no s used]. We don’t want to step on any toes, so act out immersives was born! We’re stepping away from any old branding gradually.
That and you can use the accronym aoi and pronounce it “ayyyyoooo immersives” which I think is funny.
