History
Culture Crash is a collaborative effort by Jennifer Diewald, Roger Gammans, Heidi Kaye, Richard Perry, and Julie Winnard. Much of the design and writing was done on the Peaky UK writing weekend of April 23-25, 2021. More work was done in the weeks that followed. Characters went out to our 12 playtesters during the week of May 9th, to a cast of UK and US players.
On June 12th, the team agreed to rename the LARP from Contact One to Culture Crash to avoid any confusion with Sarah Judd's excellent small LARP Contact. Both were bid for Consequences in 2021, and we wanted a clear differentiation between the two.
