# How to get a larp wallet: the honest version, in six steps Source: https://flexdger.com/blog/how-to-get-a-larp-wallet Updated: 2026-11-14 Published: 2026-11-14 Topic: Crypto wallet mockups (https://flexdger.com/blog/crypto-wallets) > How to get a larp wallet, step by step: what to decide first, what you need, what to refuse, and what to do before you film. Most answers to this question are a list of apps. This one is the sequence that actually matters: what to decide before you pick anything, what you genuinely need, what you should refuse to give, and what to do in the ten minutes after you have one so that the first thing you film is not the thing you regret. **Short answer:** A larp wallet is a wallet screen filled with amounts you type, for a video, a skit or a demo. To get one: decide what the shot has to show, pick a tool that runs in a browser rather than one that asks to be installed, set your assets and amounts, add it to your home screen so it opens full screen, and check the screen once before filming. Nothing in that sequence requires a recovery phrase, and nothing should ask for one. ## Decide the shot before you pick the tool People choose a tool and then work out what to film with it, which is backwards and costs an afternoon. Three questions, answered in a minute, make the rest obvious. - **What has to be readable?** A single large number, or a list somebody will pause on? These are different screens and they fail for different reasons. - **Still or moving?** A still image can be drawn in any design tool. Movement cannot, and movement is what an audience reads as real without noticing it. - **Who sees it, and in what context?** A sketch where everyone knows it is staged has no constraints. Anything that could be read as a personal claim has one hard constraint, covered at the end of this page. ## The six steps 1. **Pick something that runs in a browser.** No install, no store listing, no file to trust. This removes an entire class of risk in one decision, and nothing about drawing a screen requires more. 2. **Set the assets and the amounts.** Quantities first, then let the total follow. A total typed separately from its rows is the mistake a careful viewer catches, and once they catch it they stop believing the rest. 3. **Let the prices come from the market.** An asset sitting at a figure anyone can check against an exchange survives scrutiny. A price you made up does not, and the kind of audience that cares is the kind that looks. 4. **Add it to your home screen.** From Safari or Chrome, so it opens full screen without an address bar. The bar is the single most common tell in otherwise careful footage. 5. **Look at the screen as a stranger.** Does the total match the rows? Does the list look like something a person holds rather than something someone chose? Is anything rounder than real holdings ever are? 6. **Write the caption before you film.** If writing it is uncomfortable, the shot is doing something you had not admitted to yourself. ## What you need, and what you must refuse You need: a phone or a browser, five minutes, and a decision about what the screen should say. You do not need: a wallet, crypto, a seed phrase, an exchange account, a store download or an extension. And there is one thing to refuse without discussion. Nothing that draws a screen has any mechanism that could use a recovery phrase. If a tool, a page, a chat helper or a support account asks for those words, the purpose is to empty a real wallet, whatever reason is offered. There is no legitimate import, recovery, verification or migration that needs them. ## What to avoid while you are searching - **Download links that are not the maker own site.** Store listings and search ads are both routinely used to place lookalikes. - **Extensions.** An extension sits inside your browser beside your real accounts. That is a steep price for a picture. - **Notification features.** A tool that offers to send you a received-payment alert is selling the raw material of a scam. There is no innocent use for a fake incoming transfer. - **Anything promising proof.** A screen is not proof, and a tool that claims otherwise is telling you what it is for. ## The ten minutes after Set the screen up once properly and you will reuse it for months. Pick the assets you will actually talk about, set quantities that are not round, and check how the list looks when it scrolls rather than only at rest. Then film something short and watch it back on a phone, not on the screen you made it on. Most problems are invisible at desk size and obvious at thumb size. ## The one hard rule A prop stops being a prop when it is attached to a request. A balance screen beside an ask for money, an investment, a loan or trust is the shape of a fraud, whatever the intention and whatever drew it. Everywhere else, in sketches, tutorials, product demos, thumbnails, design reviews, it is a picture and nobody is harmed. [Flexdger Wallet](https://flexdger.com/) is one of these tools, made by us, so read this as a maker note. It runs in a browser, composes a hardware wallet app screen from what you type, and you can [open the interface](https://flexdger.com/demo) without an account. ## Questions ### Do I need to install anything? No, and preferring a tool that needs no install is the single best filter available to you. A browser page can draw a screen perfectly well. An install request for a cosmetic result is a request for access to your device, and that trade has no upside here. ### Do I need my own wallet or any crypto? Neither. There is nothing to connect and nothing to fund. The numbers come from a form, not from a chain, which is exactly why the thing is safe to use. ### Will it look right on camera? It depends on two details people skip: open it full screen rather than inside a browser with a visible address bar, and export or record at the phone resolution rather than resizing afterwards. Those two things account for most of the difference between convincing and obviously staged. ### Can I use it on both iPhone and Android? Yes, if it runs in the browser. Add it to the home screen from Safari or Chrome and it opens like an app, with no store listing involved, which also means no store review and no install file to trust. ### What should make me walk away from a tool? Any request for a recovery phrase, seed words or a wallet connection. Also any download that is not on the maker own site, and any promise of received-payment notifications, which exist only to be used as fake proof. ### Is using one legal? A labeled prop in a skit, a tutorial or a deck is ordinary prop use. Showing it as your real balance to obtain money, a sale, a loan or trust is a false representation.
