Camping at OP Chernobyl

Each faction has its own HQ on the playing field. After registration, you and all your equipment will be taken to your HQ. You will operate from there throughout the game and have the option to safely store equipment and personal belongings. The HQs serve as safe zones where no shooting is allowed. Missions will be assigned to the factions there. Players from other factions may only enter enemy HQs if invited, for example, as part of the scenario or LARP. If you do not wish to sleep directly in the HQs, you have the option to camp directly next to the HQ. Access to these private areas is also prohibited for members of other factions. Only the STALKER faction will be assigned a campsite near their HQ, but outside the playing field. This ensures that the tents do not obstruct game flow. The walk to the HQ will be approximately 100 meters. The path to the campsite will be signposted for easy arrival. Grilling is only permitted with a standard gas grill. Arrival with caravans and trailers is possible in the parking lot; we will assign you the appropriate pitch on site.

Stalker Bar

During OP Chernobyl, the Stalker Bar becomes the hub for entertainment and social gatherings. Here you'll find the perfect place to fully immerse yourself in your LARP experience and celebrate peacefully in-game. According to the contract, the Stalker Bar is a safe zone where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the Zone. The bar not only offers exciting missions for stalkers but also a wide selection of provisions to strengthen you for the challenges ahead. Be part of the lively community of stalkers, exchange stories, and plan strategies while you are in the authentic environment of the Stalker Bar. Enjoy the unique atmosphere created by players and NPCs alike. Whether you want to prepare for your next assignments or simply seek a break from the exciting events in the Zone – the Stalker Bar is the ideal place to network with other participants and create unforgettable memories.

Sanitary Facilities

Your needs are important to us, and we want to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the entire event.

At the event, we will take care of your comfort and provide some amenities. In your HQs, you will find festival toilets and washing stations.

At the Hotel campsite, we have also set up toilet and shower containers so you can feel fresh and hygienic.

Radiation phase

During this time, playtime on the field will be suspended for a well-deserved break. All players are requested to retire to their quarters and observe quiet hours. We ask you to be considerate of each other during this rest period to respect the privacy and recovery of all participants. Quiet hours are important to allow you to rest, recharge, and be ready for the exciting adventures of the next day. Please remember that some players need peace and relaxation after an eventful day to prepare optimally for the next day's gameplay. Respect the quiet hours and thus create a pleasant atmosphere for all of us.
