ERLEBEULTIME WESTERN
Fünf Tage. Eine Stadt im Wilden Westen. Eine Hauptfigur: Sie.
Ein episches immersives Abenteuer, in dem Sie selbst zu den Helden gehören.
Dieses Abenteuer ermöglicht es Ihnen, in die Rolle einer fiktiven Figur aus der Zeit des amerikanischen Wilden Westens zu schlüpfen. More than just a role-playing game, it is a fully immersive adventure where you’ll solve mysteries, complete missions, take meaningful actions, and embark on exciting quests—all while bringing your character to life and shaping their own unique story.
Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you prepare for your journey.
Ein Abenteuer, bei dem Sie zugleich Hauptfigur und Zuschauer sind.
Von außen betrachtet könnte dieses Abenteuer wie eine historische Nachstellung, eine Kostümveranstaltung oder eine riesige Theateraufführung wirken. Doch es ist etwas völlig anderes: Sie sehen der Geschichte nicht zu, sondern erleben sie selbst. Es gibt kein Publikum, das Ihre Darstellung bewertet. Bei diesem immersiven Live-Rollenspiel werden Sie und alle anderen Teilnehmenden zu Figuren der Handlung.
Anders als Schauspieler in einem Theaterstück oder Film kennen die Teilnehmenden das Ende nicht. Es hängt auch von ihren Entscheidungen ab. Ebenso wenig kennen Sie die vollständigen Geschichten und Ziele der anderen Figuren. Sie müssen kein Drehbuch auswendig lernen, sondern nur den Hintergrund Ihrer eigenen Figur kennen. Von da an improvisieren Sie, reagieren und entscheiden selbst.
Jeder Teilnehmer ist zugleich Darsteller und Zuschauer einer lebendigen Geschichte. Das Organisationsteam hat die Welt, die Kulissen und den erzählerischen Rahmen geschaffen. Die eigentliche Handlung entsteht jedoch in Echtzeit durch Begegnungen, Entscheidungen und Reaktionen auf Intrigen, Herausforderungen und Ereignisse.
Was ist das Ziel? Gemeinsam das Abenteuer gestalten.
Das Ziel ist nicht, win—it’s to bring the story to life as a group. Through your choices, your interactions, and your roleplay, you’ll help shape a unique experience that every participant will remember. The more everyone embraces their character and the world around them, the richer and more unforgettable the adventure becomes.
This is a collaborative, live-action adventure designed to be experienced together. But unlike a traditional game, the objective isn’t to win, to be the strongest, or to outperform everyone else.
Think of it as stepping into a movie where you are one of the heroes, surrounded by breathtaking sets and unforgettable characters. The real reward is the experience itself: sharing an extraordinary adventure, creating memorable moments, and leaving with stories you’ll remember for years to come.
Über die Figur, die Sie verkörpern
Schon lange vor Beginn des Abenteuers erhalten Sie Ihren Charakterbogen. Darin erfahren Sie mehr über das Leben Ihrer Figur: Kindheit, Heimatort, Beruf und persönliche Vergangenheit. Sie lernen die prägenden Ereignisse, Verbündeten und Feinde, frühere Verwicklungen sowie Gerüchte und Geschichten kennen.
Ihr Charakterbogen enthält alles, was Ihre Figur zu einem glaubwürdigen Menschen mit eigener Vergangenheit macht: Ziele, Geheimnisse, Beziehungen und Rätsel, denen sie nachgehen kann.
Alle Angaben im Charakterbogen sind streng vertraulich. Nur Sie kennen dessen Inhalt; auch die anderen Teilnehmenden haben ihre eigene geheime Geschichte. Ob und wann Sie etwas über Ihre Vergangenheit verraten, entscheiden Sie selbst. Aber Vorsicht: Manche Figuren wissen aufgrund ihrer eigenen Geschichte vielleicht schon etwas über Sie – und umgekehrt.
Sie müssen nicht jedes Detail auswendig lernen. Machen Sie sich mit den wichtigsten Ereignissen, Personen und Orten vertraut. Alles Weitere ergibt sich im Verlauf des Abenteuers.
So finden Sie in Ihre Rolle
Lesen Sie Ihren Character Sheet carefully to understand your character’s past and gain a clear sense of their motivations, personality, and the kinds of relationships or situations they may encounter with the other characters they meet throughout the adventure.
Think about how your character speaks. Chances are, they don’t express themselves the way you do in everyday life! Are you playing a cowboy, a lady, a prospector, a banker, or perhaps the town’s future sheriff? Imagine yourself in the American West of the late 19th century (re-watching a few classic Westerns can be great inspiration) and consider the words, expressions, and manner of speaking that best suit your character.
Your costume will be one of your greatest allies. Putting it on will help you step naturally into your role, while also enhancing the immersion for everyone around you. When other participants see you, your appearance should immediately tell them something about your character: „That woman is dressed elegantly—she must be a lady of influence who knows the town’s most important people.“
For this reason, the costume you wear should match both the role you are playing and the Old West setting of the adventure. Try to avoid obvious anachronisms. Choose comfortable leather boots or ankle boots with a timeless look, and steer clear of modern country-style clothing, contemporary cowboy boots, or leather hats, as these do not reflect the authentic spirit of the period.
Bevor das Abenteuer beginnt
Nach Ihrer Ankunft im Filmstudio und unmittelbar vor dem Beginn nehmen Sie an einer Begrüßung und Einweisung durch das Organisationsteam teil. Dabei werden die Spielregeln erklärt und die Teammitglieder vorgestellt – viele von ihnen übernehmen selbst Figuren, denen Sie im Abenteuer begegnen.
Dies ist auch die Gelegenheit, die anderen Teilnehmenden und ihre Figuren kennenzulernen. Falls es Ihr erstes immersives Abenteuer ist, sagen Sie es ruhig. Auch erfahrene Spieler haben einmal angefangen und helfen Ihnen gern mit Tipps beim Einstieg.
Sie werden feststellen, wie schnell Sie sich wohlfühlen und vollständig in dieses außergewöhnliche Abenteuer eintauchen können.
Wenn das Abenteuer beginnt!
Das Abenteuer beginnt!
The organizers give the signal, and from that moment on, it’s up to you to navigate the stories, mysteries, and intrigues that will unfold over the next several days. Trust the organizing team—they know exactly how to draw you into the action from the very first moments.
Let yourself be carried by the experience, and simply live your character. Ask yourself, „What would my character do in this situation?“ Then follow that instinct. There are no right or wrong choices, no „best“ path to take, and no predetermined way to play. There are only your decisions, and they are what make every adventure unique.
Above all, have fun—and enjoy every moment of the journey.
So spielen Sie Ihre Figur
In Ultime Western®™, you don’t simply play a role—you become one of the characters in the story. There are no lines to memorize, no rehearsals, and no script to follow. Your only job is to behave as though everything happening around you is real.
Here’s an example. You’re standing at the counter of a bank when a notorious outlaw bursts through the door and holds everyone at gunpoint. Your character must treat that revolver as if it were a real weapon and react accordingly. What happens next is entirely up to you.
Perhaps you decide to calm the outlaw, speaking to them directly and trying to negotiate. Or maybe you choose to make a discreet escape, carefully working your way toward the door without being noticed. But if the bank robber spots you and „shoots“ you in the leg (don’t worry—the blanks are harmless!), then your character should react as if they’ve really been wounded. Cry out in pain if you wish… perhaps the town doctor, passing outside at just that moment, will hear your cries and rush in to help. Every action can create new opportunities and unexpected twists in the story.
The same principle applies throughout the adventure. You will improvise not only what happens to your character, but also everything your character chooses to do. As long as it fits their personality and background, your character is free to do almost anything: lie, betray, seduce, negotiate, investigate, spy, forge alliances, or pursue their own ambitions.
The key is simple: play it as though it were real. That’s what makes the adventure come alive.

Ein Spiel ohne Grenzen … mit klaren Regeln
In Ultime Western®™, your character is free to do almost anything—whether through real actions or the game’s simulation rules. But having complete freedom doesn’t mean doing just anything.
Always remember to play:
Without putting yourself or anyone else at physical risk.
Without behaving in a way that makes other participants feel uncomfortable.
With good sportsmanship and in accordance with the rules established by the organizers.
Above all, remember that you are not playing to win. You are playing to live an unforgettable experience.
It’s also important not to break the immersion for yourself or for everyone around you. Avoid saying things that don’t belong in the world of the game.
Don’t step outside the game’s universe
For example:
„I’ll look up the Sheriff’s address on the internet.“
Instead, ask the owner of the saloon.
Or:
„We all know that this U.S. President will be assassinated next year.“
If the story takes place in 1879, your character has no knowledge of what will happen in 1880—or any year after that.
Don’t invent abilities or objects your character doesn’t actually have
For example:
„Actually, let’s say I have sticks of dynamite in my bag.“
No. Either your character genuinely has (prop) sticks of dynamite that were found or acquired during the adventure, or they don’t. If they claim otherwise, then they are simply lying to the other characters—and everyone should understand that’s exactly what’s happening.
Or:
„My father was a doctor, so I watched him operate when I was a child. I can treat this wounded man.“
Again, no. Either your Character Sheet specifically states that your character has medical training (or another relevant skill), or they don’t. If your character claims to be a doctor despite having no such knowledge, then they are bluffing—and the other characters are free to believe them or not.
Don’t spoil the illusion
For example:
„The blood on that dead man’s head is fake!“
Well… of course it is. It’s theatrical makeup—and thankfully so!
The magic of the adventure comes from treating everything as if it were real. The more everyone embraces that shared illusion, the richer and more memorable the experience becomes for all.
Darf ich zwischendurch aus meiner Rolle schlüpfen?
Absolutely—you are always free to take a break!
Your adventure lasts several days, and you’ll normally remain in character throughout (except during meal times and when you retire for the night). It’s perfectly natural to want to take a moment to rest, make a phone call, or simply step away for a while.
If you do, simply leave the game area or move somewhere out of sight of the other participants before stepping out of character. This allows you to take the break you need without disrupting the immersion for everyone else.
Wie endet das Abenteuer?
Das Abenteuer endet mit einer gemeinsamen Schlussszene. The organizers will make it clear when the story has come to an end—for now. Ultime Western®™ is a fully developed universe, and many more adventures await you in other towns, whether you return as the same character or step into the role of someone new.
Once the game is over, the organizers will lead a debriefing of the adventure you’ve just experienced. This will be an opportunity to share your impressions, feedback, and suggestions.
Afterwards, you’ll be able to relive your favorite moments and exchange stories with the other players and actors during the Final Fiesta!
Zum Abschluss:
Die Begegnungen zwischen den Teilnehmenden stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses außergewöhnlichen Abenteuers. Throughout the game, your character is entirely your own. You are free to shape their actions and decisions as you see fit, provided you respect the game rules and play fairly with the other participants and actors.
Above all, never forget:
The goal of your live-action adventure isn’t to win or lose—it’s to have fun and create an unforgettable experience.
For everyone’s physical and emotional safety, any truly dangerous action is always simulated, using replica weapons and specific game mechanics. Never put yourself or anyone else at risk, and don’t hesitate to pause or stop the game if a situation ever requires it.
You are playing a character, and so is everyone else. Never take personally the words or actions directed at your character. If a desperado insults you, or a rancher cheats you out of your dollars during a poker game, your character is perfectly entitled to get angry and react in the moment—but remember, it’s all part of the story. Nothing is personal. Once again, it’s only a game.
