Where is the strangest place you have played an RPG?

I was reminiscing recently about my earlier D&D days and remembered seeing a few of my fellow classmates playing D&D in the school cafeteria during lunch. I thought that it was a pretty weird place to play the game at the time. I've always preferred to play at home on whatever table was large enough (though as a kid, we played on the floor in our bedroom), and I have hosted games in a youth center before. Not long ago, I saw a video of some Soldiers playing D&D in a dayroom in Afghanistan. All this got me thinking, what other unusual or unexpected place has the game been played?

A classroom at the local police academy. Our DM was on the force & at that time teaching there. He got permission for us to use the facility on the weekend when it was closed. Who needs a battle mat when you can just draw it all out on the blackboard?

Bonus: If the zombie apocalypse hit while we were gaming, there was a weapons locker on site (locked, but I think he had the key).

I have a few interesting places.

A psychiatric hospital board room.

A train tresel with trains passing over head from time to time.

A bell tower right by the huge bell but it was no longer used.

I bet there is a story behind a few of those!

I once DM'd for two players on a 3-hour road trip across Illinois, and again on the way back.

I've run games at a gaming convention held in a nursing home. Twice.

I DM'd virtually every night for a 6-8 month period while stationed in Korea. (There was nothing to do. You either picked up a hobby or a drinking problem.)

The first place I ever played D&D was on a neighbor's doorstep, not even a full porch, about 6x6.

High school study hall.

College student union.

Picnic table in a city park.

In a moving vehicle.

Corporate conference room.

Denny's can be pretty strange late at night

 

[MechaPilot]

I once DM'd a solo session for a friend while he walked along with me on my paper route. We played rock-paper-scissors to determine the outcome of combats.

Back in the day I used to LARP and we did werewolf games in the woods while camping, and vampire games at places like the Universal City Walk. Nothing like playing vampire while thousands of people walk by.

In a gazebo, on an island, in the middle of a park. After finding out that the bar we were supposed to play at was closed...
