01
The entry-level paradox.
Grads need experience to get a job, but need a job to get experience.
LARPBridging the gap between knowing the answer and doing the work.
Nobody reverses a string in prod. AI automated the easy tickets, destroying the proving ground for entry-level engineers. LARP is a high-fidelity workplace simulator that tests how talent handles messy codebases, vague requirements, and production fires — before you ever give them access to your data.

The experience loop is broken.
And it’s destroying your talent pipeline.

And this…?
02
The babysitter tax.
Companies offload junior tasks to AI, forcing new hires to jump straight into complex systems blind. When they freeze, your $200k/year Senior Devs have to stop building to play full-time babysitter.
03
The 5-year time bomb.
AI is great at fixing things it has seen before. But when a zero-day incident happens in five years, who fixes it? If you don’t train juniors to navigate chaos today, you won’t have Senior Devs tomorrow.
Welcome to the sandbox
Experience you can simulate.
Proof you can hire.
Leetcode is a static memory game. LARP is a zero-risk trial day. We drop candidates into a simulated engineering environment complete with automated coworkers, shifting priorities, and real consequences.
Step 1
Work real tickets.
Candidates navigate an active, simulated codebase, deciphering context from automated Slack messages and Jira boards.
Step 2
Break production safely.
They deploy bad code, handle the fallout, and learn from an AI mentor — with zero blast radius to your actual company data.
Step 3
Generate a Flight Log.
Every decision, team interaction, and panic moment is recorded into a verifiable Proof-of-Work dashboard.

The value
Who is this for?
For engineering & hiring teams
The zero-risk trial day.
Stop guessing if a candidate actually has soft skills and engineering intuition. See exactly how they manage a panicked PM and a vague ticket during an outage. Hire for resilience, not rote memorization.
For senior developers
Kill the babysitter tax.
Let new hires make their catastrophic mistakes on our servers, not yours. Reclaim your bandwidth and stop taking the blame for intern deployments gone wrong.
For grads, bootcampers & career switchers
Break the experience loop.
Locked out of the industry because AI took the beginner jobs? Stop grinding algorithms. Jump into the simulator, build genuine engineering street smarts, and earn a Verified Flight Log that proves to employers you are battle-ready.
For academic institutions
Bridge the reality gap.
Computer Science degrees teach the theory. LARP provides the field practicum. Give your students a dedicated environment to apply their knowledge to messy, real-world workplace friction before graduation.
Get in on the ground floor
Experience is no longer a catch-22. It is something you can simulate.
Whether you are a company looking to derisk your next hire, an investor tracking the future of work, or an engineer ready to prove your grit, get in on the ground floor.
