Kethergames – The Kastovian Affair (Inställt)

Where?

The game takes place in Bockaby, just outside Borås, in western Sweden.

The terrain is a mix of woodlands, open ground, and built structures — areas that offer both close-quarters engagements and longer woodland patrols. Expect uneven ground, tree lines, and the kind of terrain that rewards fieldcraft and situational awareness.

Getting There

The easiest way to travel is by train to Borås Central. From there:

Take a bus or arrange transport towards Bockaby — details will be confirmed closer to the event.

Let us know in advance if you need help with transport from Borås. We are happy to arrange pickups on Thursday evening or Friday morning where possible.

Coordinate with us at kethergames@gmail.com if you have questions about getting there.

Included in the ticket price:

Access to toilets, water, and electricity on-site

Rental of the area

Props, pyrotechnical effects, and game materials

Crew travel, crew food, and prep time

Minimum number of participants: 50.

Weather

The event runs in mid-April in western Sweden. That means variable conditions — and you should prepare for all of them.

Temperatures can range from cold nights (close to 0°C) to mild days.

Rain and wind are common in the Borås area — one of the wetter regions in Sweden.

Snow is unlikely but not impossible in early April.

Muddy and waterlogged areas are likely, especially in wooded terrain after rain.

Do not underestimate the conditions. A wet and cold player is an ineffective player.

Clothing

Dress for cold, wet conditions — regardless of your faction:

Use layers: base layer, mid layer, and a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Bring rain gear.

Wear sturdy, waterproof boots with ankle support.

A backpack for carrying your essentials is strongly recommended.

Follow your faction’s gear guidelines for appearance, but always prioritise warmth and functionality. If you are unsure whether your kit is appropriate, contact us before the event.

Sleep

This is a 48-hour continuous game. You will eat, sleep, move, and operate as your character for the full duration.

Sleeping conditions depend on your faction and role. Some players will have access to sheltered areas. Others will operate from field positions. Plan accordingly — your faction brief will include more specific guidance.

What you should bring regardless of role:

A warm sleeping bag rated for temperatures close to 0°C

A sleeping mat or air mattress for insulation against the ground

If you have specific needs around sleeping arrangements, contact us when registering and we will do our best to accommodate you.

General Preparation

This event is physically demanding. You will be moving, patrolling, and operating for extended periods across mixed terrain, in variable weather, with limited rest.

Prepare your body, your kit, and your mindset. The environment is part of the game.
