The PS3 hit, Fat Princess.
Cool fantasy setting, much fighting, clear objectives (princess kidnapping) - perfect LARP stuff.
Plus whoever is the princess gets to be fed cake all day.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

We played this with our group when I worked in summer camp. The princess was a bucket of water you had to fill with the water of the other team princess/bucket. Everyone was wet at the end. Great game
To larp? How do you larp niche media?
You create a larp based on that media's setting
An indication of available settings might help.
Gone With the Blastwave - a series of comics about soldiers trapped in the ruins of a former city. If you have some local areas with old abandoned buildings, it'd be a setting.
Wizard of Legend or Ziggurat - games in which you are a mage trying to complete a challenge to prove yourself worthy as a mage. Set up puzzles and challenges in some out of the way areas, maybe an NPC proctor to guide them through the tests, etc.
Receiver - A setting where you are a survivor of the Mindkill, an event that destroyed reality and left only those who trained themselves to be 'Receivers,' capable of retaining their identity in the face of obliteration enough to be reborn again and again to face the robots with guns sent to eliminate them, collect tapes that remind them of who they are and their training as Receivers.
Korgoth of Barbaria - Conan the barbarian but as a comedy
Stalker/Roadside Picnic - Books by the Strugatsky brothers. An event has created areas where the rules that govern reality no longer can be trusted. The stranger you meet might be your oldest friend, your father from before you were born, or yourself in a different hat. The path that runs East then turns left 30 degrees and now leads you Northwest.
Not exactly niche but there's also 'True Detective' Something about a Lovecraftian detective LARP sounds cool if you could have some fun with it.
I bet The Owl House would work great. Fun, weird, inclusive, magical, fantasy world that is parallel to ours. In a similar direction: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
Kingdom of Dragon Pass / Six Ages is pretty niche and the lore there basically has people larping so hard to re-enact divine stories that the divinity rubs off on them and gets them magic and neat stuff. Or terrible deaths.
Ex. head of the Orlanthi pantheon in myth slays a dragon to rescue a rain god inside it and end a drought:
The “We have that at home” version:
(They have even larped as cows… that one’s on the dangerous side though…)
Edit: I think I misunderstood what you were going for nvm
Dungeon Crawler Carl comes to mind. If not Carl, one of the many other character from the same books.
Larping as Mongo would be interesting.
Warhammer 40k. Rather deep lore and endless possibilities for larping.
