The Road Not Taken is an experimental theatre-style larp for 6-12 players by Mike Young, in which the participants play voices and competing points of view in the head of the main character as they face a series of dilemmas and life decisions.

The game has been widely played, with Larp Resume listing runs in the USA, Australia, Norway, and Canada.[1]
