Mobilize is about five queer women working together, who are trained in the driving, maintenance, and repair of Jeeps, trucks, and motorbikes. They work in the military, but are classified as mentally ill, so the risk of dishonourable discharge is sincere. The game is about the hard choices players must make to survive in as a queer woman in the army, while also trying to do the right thing. The game explores gender presentation and performance, and uses this as a vehicle for understanding the complexity of being a queer woman in the military in 1943, where the LARP is set.
