What even is a play party anyways? What should you expect? Will there be food? WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR???? Let's de-mystify the process!
About this Event

Have you ever wanted to attend a play party but didn't even know where to start? Do you even WANT to go?


This class aims to answer some of the pressing, but potentially embarrassing questions about the scene in New York City. It will cover everything from what to wear, to what to bring, and how much room to leave for the cheese plate.


Class will be an hour of presentation to cover all the basics, followed by a designated period for Q+A. After please stick around for drinks and snacks, as Tide will set up a typical HMU party layout so you can mingle in a clothes on, non play, but sexy environment.


This is your chance to tour a working dungeon in a laid-back atmosphere, without having to worry about walking into someones back swing ;)
