Generally speaking, we have all kind of LARPs in the sword-and-sorcery scene
- battle LARPS - no story, just hit the participants belonging to the other faction, preferably in formations. This ranges from smug reenactment-quality groups, like Warhammer Fantasy fans in Europe, to groups that retain fantasy-themed clothing the way sports such as tennis have a specific proper attire, like Belegarth society in USA.
- (story-rich) LARPS - these originated with to "let's play D&D but in real life" and some of them even kept the trappings of the original, such as "levels" or "character classes"; some of them drop most of the gamey aspects, becoming more or less like those "chamber" LARPs mentioned by the OP (only in a fantasy setting; though, a Dune LARP could be a thinly-veiled middle-east, for all I know)

More construction companies should take it upon themselves to start looking into erecting things like what those Warhammer dudes were enacting in one video i mulled over. Establish some crude barracks, keeps, bastions, and whatever else a play site could sustain. Gather a crew with cameras, editors, and a designer or two, then put some attendees on the grounds, and you’ve got yourselves the trappings of an amateur production going in no time.
