Welcome to Prairie Fire Gaming
We host and create megagames—massive, immersive events where dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of players come together for hours of strategy, diplomacy, and unforgettable chaos. Most people haven’t heard of megagames before, but once you experience one, you’ll never forget it.
Please do this again. When I got home I was exhausted, I had started to get a migraine, my dog had gotten out of her kennel, and there was a crazy mess to clean up as a result. I didn't care. I was in too good of a mood from having so much fun.

Polanian PresidentSickleYour hard work made the game a lot of fun and the controllers were all fun to work with. We found out that you designed all the digital headlines and such specifically for the game in Fargo - which was a large part of the game and friggin’ awesome. Thank you!
French Deputy Prime MinisterWatch the SkiesThis is seriously burned into my psyche; one of the most intense but fun and low-risk experiences I've had since high school 20+ years ago. Reminded me of the best summer camps and immersion experiences.
HypnoWars CorrespondentWatch the SkiesWhat is a Megagame?
It’s a large-scale mix of role-playing, board gaming, diplomacy, and strategy—typically running several hours. Players are divided into teams or factions, each with their own goals and challenges.
You might be on a team representing a real-world country, a clan of Dwarves working to secure its legacy, or a clandestine group of agents plotting to overthrow corporate overlords in a futuristic dystopia. Whatever the scenario, you’ll be working with others to navigate not only your own aims, but those of the other factions and outside forces.
All of the players are playing the same scenario, but each from different perspectives and roles. You’ll develop strategy with other players, play sub-games based on your role, and react to situations as they arise. Every role is unique, and every player will have a different experience on gameday, directly shaping the game itself through their actions.
Megagames can explore nearly anything—from history to science fiction, politics to fantasy, and everything in between.
