Thunderdice invite you to discover key events in history through HistoryAlive! Meet the people who shaped our world, solve mysteries and investigations, and fight and wander online or offline among the streets of the world capitals. Based on key historical events and facts, you can now come and play to be guided in a different way through History.
Historical Role-Playing Game is a mix of improv theater, an audio book and a guided tour.
During a session, an actor named “Game Master” narrates a story based on a key Historical
event. They introduce historical context (important dates, etc) through musics, maps, engravings and photos to allow the event to take place in your imagination. But as a participant, or Player, you also become a major part of the event that is taking place!
You play a character (doctor, soldier, etc) and your guide-storyteller embodies other characters
who interact with you. Similar to a Choose your own Adventure book, you make decisive choices during the game, like fighting or hiding from the soldiers who seek to capture you, or going to ask for information from this gruff sailor or this overworked barman !
In the Historical Role-Playing Games, you will have the ability to embody a character and discover through their eyes a historical event, but not only that.
While meeting new protagonists, you will also learn centuries-old ways of working,
feasting, and living through these inhabitants of History. All information shared during a game is based on historical research from our partner historians.
