In the context of an active running larp, this term will often be used to indicate which areas adjacent to the play space are not included in play, allowing players to step [[out-of-character]], usually to attend to personal needs. It may also be used alongside other signals to ask questions or negotiate out-of-character, by prefacing any questions with "Out-of-game...".<br />
<br />
''In-game'' is its inverse. The "magic circle" is sometimes used to refer to an invisible membrane or container around a game, which separates what is inside from what is out, which may include both physical play spaces and more metaphysical states of mind.<br />
