State of Larp

What Google and YouTube offer when someone starts typing larp, grouped by theme and refreshed every month.

Latest edition: November 2026, collected October 31, 2026

Autocomplete observations, not search volume

Across 1,887 distinct autocomplete suggestions on Google and YouTube, the word larp splits into 11 themes, from crypto and wallets to the hobby itself, anime, games and sports. Counts show what the engines suggest, not how many people searched.

Key findings

Memes, music and media is the largest theme: 253 distinct suggestions, 13.4% of the 1,887 in the index.
Google and YouTube lean different ways. Google leans toward meaning, slang and translations (21.1% of its suggestions against 3.1% on YouTube). YouTube leans toward creators and streamers (7.8% of its suggestions against 0.8% on Google).
Work and LinkedIn stay small: 10 suggestions in total. The live-action role-play hobby itself accounts for 226.
The long tail is real: 498 suggestions, 26.4% of the index, match none of the themes, and that includes many single-letter completions.
This is the baseline edition. Month-over-month change appears from the next edition, once there is a second dated collection to compare with.

How to read this

Every number here counts distinct autocomplete suggestions, once per source, collected on October 31, 2026 from Google and YouTube in US English. The collection started from 21 seed phrases, each typed bare and with each letter of the alphabet added. 1,026 Google and 861 YouTube suggestions contain the word larp and are counted. Full method and limits: methodology.

Autocomplete is not search volume. A suggestion tells you the engine offers that phrase when someone types its beginning. It does not tell you how many people typed it, and the same suggestion can come from very few searches. Compare themes with each other, and one month with the next, never with a search count.

The seed phrases lean toward wallets, apps and crypto on purpose, so a theme share is a share of this collection, not of all larp talk.
