You are a researcher living in Nevada 100 years in the future. You’ve been recruited to serve on a once-in-a-lifetime research project called the Loreloop…

The Loreloop is the first of its kind: a living, evolving portal through which people travel, learn, form communities, and experience life across time and place. Think of it as an abstract, futuristic archive documenting and preserving a place’s past, present, and future.

Your mission? To repair the Loreloop, which has recently been fractured, sending pieces of it scattered across time and space. Your Director has recruited you to identify the issue and find the missing pieces. Is the problem as simple as a system bug, or is a more sinister force at play?

To unravel the mystery, you’ll travel back in time to 2020s Nevada, when and where the Loreloop was initially conceptualized. You and your team of fellow researchers will embark on a time-and-place-hopping adventure to immerse yourself in Nevada’s past, present, and future. You’ll be assigned a set of objectives and quests that require you to think critically about your experiences and problem-solve as a team.

Your challenges, obstacles, and triumphs will directly affect the future of the Loreloop, and your research may be the key to creating a future Nevada that represents sustainability, prosperity, belonging, and collaboration—Is it possible that those are elements of the Loreloop’s missing pieces?

Loreloop: The World We Live In, The World We Create is a collaborative storytelling experience where everyone plays a role in how the stories unfold.
