The Wheel of Fate allows players to spin once per hour, receiving bizarre challenges that last for thirty minutes. Some are lighthearted, like taping your main hand behind your back or playing with an old Sheridan PGP pistol. Others are brutal, such as wearing snow skis on the field or the infamous“ Work Debt,” which sends players to help staff with real chores like handing out water, taking photos, or even mopping sidewalks.
When the sun sets, the Night Melee begins. Players drop their markers and pick up LARP-safe weapons for an all-out melee brawl across the entire property. What started as a small experiment has grown into one of the most popular features of the weekend. The Night Melee gives players a chance to relax, laugh, and blow off steam after the serious competition of the day.
A Leap Forward in Technology
For the tenth anniversary, Red Feather unveiled a major innovation: digital flag stations. Each station is equipped with a giant red button and bright light bars that instantly signal which team controls the point. A smaller bar identifies whether the station represents fuel, water, or ammo. Every press of the button updates the lights and sends a signal directly to the scorekeeper.
These stations were tested under punishing conditions. Players endured blistering heat during the day and torrential downpours at night, but the technology held up flawlessly. This successful debut proved that Red Feather can strike the perfect balance between simple gameplay and advanced tools, setting the stage for even more immersive mechanics in the future.
