It Started in 1963… Just months before the assassination of President Kennedy, Psychologist and Relelhart Company Heir Darla Carter secretly launched the first CHARIOT mission in partnership with Commander Bridget O’Sullivan. Along with the conscientious Dr. Benjamin Timmons, Carter and O’Sullivan began to draft a new constitution for a new space-bound culture.
The first CHARIOT contains generations 1–4 in varying states of life and stasis.
The younger generations have very different ideas than the one that left Earth.
This CHARIOT hasn’t encountered any other life before. How will they react to alien encounters?
As the world climate took a turn for the worst in the 2080s, more CHARIOTs launched. What happens when they meet the original?
CHARIOT focuses on moving, emotional, empowering roleplay experiences. The original CHARIOT crew will encounter people from new CHARIOTs that they didn’t even know existed. They may speak to aged loved ones with new technology and receive messages from the departed. Aliens, however, will introduce their cultures to the humans. What will they think?
Can you save the ship from destruction? Time is ticking. Find out in the engine room. Each team must do their best; results determine outcomes.
Experience persistent contact between remote players and in-person players via handheld devices and the computer station.

MOCKTAIL PARTY The drama culminates on Saturday night just before the mocktail party, where all guests will get to let loose, early 1960s style. Grab your go go boots!
