Description

October 25th 1987: The sweet tang of candy floss, toffee apple. The chromatic blur of lights, trailing from the spinning cabs of a dozen fairground rides sporting spray painted caricatures of famous 80’s icons smiling along with the screaming passengers. It’s almost enough to shake the feeling of being watched. Almost.

Sci-Fi tinged Stranger Things meets classic Spielberg movie in the 80's that never was, as you play a group of Swedish kids solving the mystery of the old meets new Funfair currently pitched outside the town of Stenhamra. Where are all the workers, and how is the Carnival, famous for it's 'freaks run the show' gimmick, connected to the Electric Dreams Arcade that closed down months ago......

Pre-generated Characters and all stationary / dice provided. Beginners welcome, but please be aware that this is a role-play heavy system.
