A live-action role playing (LARP) game that lets ordinary people play at being secret agents. (Read the full article)

"Waaaay back, like in the 90s or maybe earlier I saw a British mini series with similar concept: a man obsessed with his ex-wife's new love finds hiddens notes which are messages from "Moscow" to a spy network ... he decides to add his own note, asking for the termination of the guy he hates . Unfortunately, "Moscow" and "Whitehall" are just two rival private schools and the spies are all children . If anyone remembers this drama, I'd like to know what it's called so I can ask for a rerun ..."

"Technically, this is not a LARP. LARPs take place in an organized event and is easily distinguishable from reality. This is more like an alternate reality game."
