Props and Costume
It's simple and inexpensive to assemble accurate 1940's appearance. A couple of charity shops should provide most of what you need. Accessories are critical - handbags and jewellery, hats, coats and canes. Such details help to create an atmosphere and make for bloody good photos so please give it some thought. It is worth noting that players who don’t make an effort with their costumes are frequently penalised. The game creators go to great lengths to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience so please don’t turn up in a pair of jeans. If you have any problems with your costume, contact your game organiser who will be able to help you. There are some useful links to period and military costume suppliers on the Links page.
Have two sets of luggage - one with your own belongings for your stay (mark these with your real name), and a second set which is marked with your character name and contains all of your character's personal effects (e.g. a flashlight, a passport). It might only be a handbag or a small case but it doesn’t matter.
You must have a reason to bring a prop. Don’t bring a gun if you are a ballet dancer invited to a dinner party. Why would you? On the other hand, you may be a PI or military officer, or previous experiences might might have made you excessively paranoid. If you wish to bring a gun you must contact the game organiser who will decide if it is valid for you to own one. You may also need a permit. The gun itself must fire caps or make an appropriate bang upon firing. Do not bring starter pistols or blanks, as they are dangerous. Needless to say, never reveal guns in public.
Your security is a priority. Therefore please be prepared to have your luggage checked and searched. Please don't bring any items that you have not cleared with your organiser.
Try to bring props in keeping with the period of the game. For example, if you bring a torch, bring the bulkiest one you own (not a nifty pocket-sized Maglite).
