DAYtime PLAYtime: cultivating sober play that gets you home by dinner. It's time for some daytime playtime putting the afternoon back in your delight.
About this Event

Replace your brunch plans with something more novel and make it home by bedtime.

**in addition to attending DAYtime/PLAYtime - all attendees will be gifted with a FREE MONTH subscription to Erika Lust's LUST Cinema for all your spicy movie needs.**

We will be airing movies such as a spicy Bridgerton, over an hour of Nun-themed corn, and a full-length naughty Wedding film.

Whether you've never been to a play party before or you find them to be too pretentious, Daytime Playtime is a stripped-down, low-key version of these events.

We may call them "play" events, but we're taking that element of "play" to a whole new level. Tired of the classic sp@nking and BeeD$M stations at play parties? Not one for late-night gatherings? Prefer your playspace without the booze? Maybe you've never been to this type of party before but they feel too.....serious.... Take your weekend plans to a totally unexpected place!

Formerly PLAYfight/PLAYparty - our event has evolved to accommodate ANY type of play. Various workshops throughout the day are designed to help you see play in a new light by guiding your touch, interactions, and understanding of consent to be more intentional. This party is for individuals interested in introducing new play into their lives as well as people interested in getting nasty during daylight hours. Or if the venn diagram is a circle? All the better! You are not required to wrestle, play, or partake in order to attend this party!

Daytime Playtime.

Afternoon Delight.

We're gettin down in the sunlight, baby.


Now with more instructionals, educational components, and consent modeling. So you can experience and watch firsthand the types of conversations we want you to have at this type of party. We want you to go further than permission and ask your potential playmates and friends if you want your play to be platonic, sensual, flirty, or something else. Get specific, get dialed in, and attune yourself to others' desires (or lack thereof) more than your own!

No one is under an obligation to partake in workshops or play with you and that is the risk you run by buying a solo ticket. No guarantees. We're all here to have fun and no one is entitled to anything other than their own individual experience.

This is a dry party meaning no consumption of alcohol or substance use is permitted.

What is a play event?

A play event is a social gathering where play can escalate to be a bit more spicy though it doesn't *have* to. Given that, we must reiterate and emphasize the importance of CONSENT in these spaces. Do not touch, interrupt, play, grab, kiss, squeeze etc... an individual (especially one you do not know) without explicit consent. This also includes reading body language by not infringing on a stranger's space. Not everyone is there to f***. Buying a ticket does not make an assumption about what anyone wants.

Is it okay to come alone?

Of course! Please note that we do not pair people up for workshops based on any sort of preference. No one's gender, sexuality, or expression is assumed and it is up to you to make an effort to talk, engage, and connect with others. You're more than welcome to come alone and who knows maybe you meet a person or two and you get along!

What can I expect at the event?

You can choose to sit and chat with others at the party. Participate in some of the mini-workshops. Grab a spot on the couch to watch our selection of curated smut, or indulge yourself in our soft drink and snack offering.

What will be provided at the event?

Soft drinks and a variety of snacks are provided to guests. Safer play supplies like loob, gloves, and barriers will be sprinkled throughout the venue for your use as well.

What should I wear/bring?

Our clothing policy has more to do with safety than looks. Feel free to wear a costume if you want. Lingerie, sports gear, etc... We recommend no loose fitting clothing when doing any very physical activities. We always encourage athletic spandex-type attire, but given it is a play party, less can be more too!

Is there anything I have to pay for after I arrive?

Nope! This isn't a session party or pay-for-play, so no paid sessions are going to be offered.

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

You must be at least 18 to partake.

What are the differences between the ticket prices?

The sooner you get your ticket the cheaper they are so snatch while they are still available at each release.

Will there be booze?

No booze or drug use is permitted on the premises. You do not have to be a sober person to attend this event, but you need to be sober AT the event.

What happens if someone is being creepy or offensive?

There will be consent monitors throughout the venue that will be on the lookout for any offensive and unruly behavior. You can also alert them so that you don't have to be the one to handle it.

:: COVID POLICY ::

You must submit proof of a negative COVID-19 test (PCR or Rapid) within 48 hours of the party. Access FREE covid tests via USPS here. There will be limited tests available at the door for purchase.

  • If you test positive, contact the organizers with proof for a full refund


This environment is welcoming of all genders and abilities.

Specific accommodations must be communicated in advance.

This is a SAFER, CONSENT-BASED & RISK-AWARE EVENT.

Sexism, Racism, Transphobia will not be tolerated.

We encourage all to engage on some level but feel free to just socialize if you are not ready to dive in the deep end.


We expect and enforce a consent-based event that also is one of respect for your fellow humans. Anyone in violation will be dealt with and banned from future events. We want a safe space for those to freely explore and walk away with a positive experience. There will be two Monitors available at all times you can raise any concerns to.

**There are select discounted tickets available in exchange for set-up, clean up, and working the door. Please email if you are interested in this and cannot afford the full-price option. Priority will go to QTPOC and/or SW

The venue is accessible by elevator with no steps/stairs to entry of the space.
