FAQ

What is Middlehaven?

Middlehaven is a Live Action Roleplaying Game (LARP) where players experience an adventure in a simulated environment (created by props, sets, and actors assuming multiple roles). Combat is simulated using foam (boffer) weapons which follow rigorous safety standards. However the focus of all such events is on the story and the characters that make up this fully interactive world.

Where and when does it happen?

Middlehaven takes place on Long Island. We have no fixed location, but most of our events take place in one of three places- The Estonian House of Middle Island, and the Dorothy P. Flint and Peconic Dunes 4H Camps.

What do I need to play?

At the very least you need to bring a tent, a chair, and we recommend bug spray and sun lotion.

If you are not an NPC, you will also need to bring your own costumes, armor, and makeup which would fit a medieval/renascence setting. And while we try our best to make "Loaner Supplies" available to new players who don't have them, we prefer if you could bring your own. Other costuming requirements will depend on the kind of character you decide to play. For example, an Elf would require elf ears or a way to cover your ears.

Food service at the game is not guaronteed, please check before the event. Smoking on the premises is permitted (as long as it's outside), but drinking alcohol is not.

What is the difference between a PC and an NPC?

A PC (Player Character), is the part you choose to play in Middlehaven. An NPC (Non-Player Character) is a part we give you to play. You can think of a PC as a Protagonist and an NPC as a Supporting Character or Antagonist.

If you choose to help us by taking the part of an NPC for an entire event, we'll let you play for free, and give you the same XP you would have gotten if you had attended as a PC.

What are your payment and refund policies?

Other than registering here (and remember, new players play for half price), you may also pay by check, please e-mail us for the address.

Also, please make sure to write the name(s) of the Player(s) on the check.

We also accept cash on site, but admission and meal ticket costs are more if paid on the day of event . We highly recommend you register as soon as possible to give us a chance to integrate your character into the storyline.

*Pre-Registration saves $10, and must be done at least 10 days before the event. After that events cost $10 more.

We can provide a refund should you need to cancel as long as you notify us BEFORE the event in question. We offer 100% money back as long as we're notified at least 10 days before the event, and 50% after that. Within 24 hours of the event all the money you gave us will have been spent and no refunds will be possible.
