What is TerrorWerks?

TerrorWerks is an immersive live-action simulation in the science-fiction/horror genre. A team of up to fifteen players will enter a 45-minute timed simulation. Players will find themselves winding their way through a massive custom-built set, racing against the clock to prevent their doom. Along the way they find clues to what happened, accomplish skill-based tasks and combat a swarm of alien horrors. TerrorWerks players will utilize safe, low-velocity, spring-driven AirSoft weapons and take a role within the scenario – each with specific skills, goals and motivations.

How does the game work?

Players will select one of several basic character types, each with their own set of skills and assets. A balanced team is critical to mission success!

After rules, safety briefings and time for the players to outfit themselves with equipment appropriate to their character, the players enter the simulation accompanied by a gamemaster.

Players typically have 2-3 skills, associated with their character type. Some skill-tests are resolved automatically by the players themselves through the performance of specific tasks or use of equipment only they possess. Other skills are adjudicated by the gamemaster.

During the simulation, players will be threatened by swarms of mysterious alien horrors. Depending on the scenario, characters will start with firearms or other weapons. Other times they will have to resort to finding firearms, boffer weapons and relying on their own reflexes and wits to keep them alive. Teamwork is paramount to survival and success in TerrorWerks.
