How could you engage an audience in a way that combines their love for the series „Babylon Berlin“ with a personal, emotional reason to care about the story world?
With a game that lets them experience this story world through role-play, immerses them into the character they play and gives them a reason to want to talk about it!
„Utopia of Chaos“ takes each player on an unofficial high-stakes investigation as they try to uncover the culprits behind a cruel massacre.
But beware! Not everyone you meet is actually a police officer. The Kasabian-Mafia has infiltrated the investigation to take matters into their own hands.
The players will inspect crime scenes, solve riddles, talk to other players in social clubs, form friendships, suspect others of treason and in the end get to the botton of a shocking conspiracy. All in a span of 4 weeks.
With each player belonging to either the police or the mafia, they must keep their allegiance a secret. But in the end, both factions have to work together to stop their common enemy, the nazis, from succeeding with a sinister conspiracy. This climactic resolution of the previous distrust and secrecy between players will create an urge to talk about the exciting time they had.
