Summary/Abstract: This study introduces the work of the larp group EH GAMES within the context of the Slovak larp scene. In the opening it outlines the key periods of Slovak larping: the character of the first Slovak larp plays, the boom after 2004 and the recession following 2010. Then it deals with the plays that constituted the work of Branislav Skrečko, the founding member of the EH GAMES group, and consequently the work of this group. Based on the most frequently performed plays, Párty (2013) and Game of Kings (2014), the author identifies the characteristic features of this larp group. In the conclusion the author situates the EH GAMES group in the context of a change in the perception of larping as more than a leisure activity.
