Hydra is a larp convention in New Zealand. It runs every April in Wellington, NZ, offering games in a variety of different styles. The lineup reflects Wellington's strong theatre-style tradition and is dominated by theatre-style games, but there are some outdoor live-combat games as well. A flagship game is traditionally run on the Saturday evening.
Hydra was inspired by and is a sister-convention to Auckland's Chimera. It is supported by NZLARPS.
History
The first Hydra was run in 2012 at Brookfields Scout Camp in Wainuiomata, Wellington, NZ. It has continued to use the same venue for subsequent events.
