The '''internet wall''' (also known as Social Media Wall, Message Wall, etc.) is a meta-technique where digital communication between characters is visible to the players in the physical space.
==Usage==
Players and/or game masters can post information and messages to a wall or notice board that all other players can see. It can be direct messages between characters, such as mobile phone text messages, or open messages such as a Twitter feed, blog posts or news stories. This let's game masters affect the game and let's the internet be factor without having the players using real computers and phones.
==Variants==
===Non-diegetic===
A wall can be used out of the fiction for most characters. In the Norwegian game [[Klassefesten]] text messages between characters are posted to a notice board so all players can see them and use them as playing tools. This demands a high level av transparency in the game.
===Semi-diegetic===
Another way to use the wall is to have everything on it be public information. Then it acts as an abstraction of computer screens. At the larp [[Halat hisar]] there was a wall that represented the internet with news websites, blogs, twitter and such. All the characters are privy to the information on the wall and can discuss it freely.
