Today we are saying goodbye to Lizzie, our alien
Queen. Many of you will have memories of her. We'll keep her head and claws, but the rest is too old to be much use even as a static.

Those of you that lrp, what's your favourite memory of a monster? Either one we've built or someone else's.

The truth doesn’t stay buried. It’s just classified.

Our website is live and sign-ups are now open for [REDACTED], a 90s-inspired investigative thriller blending espionage, conspiracy, and unsettling sci-fi 🕵️‍♂️🛸
In collaboration with the brilliant Studios - Props, Costume and Special Effects, we’ll bring our story to life deep in the rural Welsh countryside—where strange lights have been seen in the woods and high above the treeline.

A remote valley wrapped in fog and silence.
A civilian research team that vanishes without a trace.
A covert unit of elite agents sent in far faster than protocol would ever justify.
There are stories people don’t tell on record.
There are sightings people learn not to mention.
Something has already happened.
Something is still happening.
And someone wants it contained.

Expect:
🛰️ government secrecy and hidden agendas
🕵️‍♂️ conspiracy tension and paranoia
🌲 outdoor field missions in the Welsh wilderness
📂 puzzle-solving, data recovery, and classified files
👥 intense team dynamics under pressure
❓answers that may only raise harder questions

📅 Sign-ups open until Jan 20 2026
👥 40 players

We're in the middle of a whole series of jobs we can't share with you. If you're looking to order something over winter now is a good time to talk to us. It's the perfect time of year for bulk orders of masks, discussing large monsters, or that really over the top costume you've been meaning to get a price for for ages!

I've spoken to a few people about monsters recently so setting expectations when you're ordering lrp monsters.

If you're after a monster then we typically charge £1k-1.5k for something the size of a human and £1.5k to 2.5k for something a bit larger.

This often breaks down to about £450ish for the head, a couple of hundred for the arms, add a few hundred if we need to make it work on stilts, fur or complicated finishes add a bit. Good quality fur can be £60-120 a metre.

We can work to your budget and discuss compromises or extras with you.

A rock monster with 1ft added height in the feet and 1-2 feet added by raising the head would be 2-2.5kish.

The bloater from divided we fall was 1.5k (we also made some clickers so the total invoice was 2k).

Something like our basic aliens would be more like a grand but even there there are options.
