Covid-19 Policy
We ask that you not attend the party if you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. If you begin experiencing such symptoms while attending, please remove yourself from the party space, return to your room (if you are staying in the hotel), and contact us. We have rapid antigen tests available.
Please know that we have taken into careful consideration the most current health and safety guidelines for our party. However, it is impossible for us to eliminate all risk, and we cannot be held responsible if someone contracts the novel coronavirus while attending the party. Our health and safety measures are intended to help make your party experience as safe as possible under the circumstances.
Given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19 variants, for the health and safety of our attendees, we reserve the right to update this policy to reflect current CDC guidelines, including the requirement for additional booster doses or testing. If changes are made, we will notify you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and assistance as we work together to keep our community healthy and safe.
COVID vaccines are required for attendance at our parties. At a minimum, you must have received your initial vaccine doses (2 shots of Pfizer/Moderna, or equivalent, or one shot of J&J).* In addition to this minimum requirement, we require proof of a rapid or PCR test taken within 24 hours of your arrival regardless of vaccination status.**
To reiterate: You must provide proof of initial vaccination doses: either 2 shots of Pfizer/Moderna or 1 shot of J&J AND proof of a negative rapid/PCR test. We do not take PCR or Rapid Test results in lieu of vaccination.^
Further information regarding verification of your rapid/PCR testing will be provided in your Welcome Letter, which is usually sent a few days before the start of our party. Please note that we will no longer rapid tests for sale.
Following CDC recommendations available here, tests are not required for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past three months and have recovered, as long as they have not developed new symptoms. If you have contracted COVID you must wait until 10 days after symptoms first appeared and 24 hours without a fever if you would like to attend this party. Other symptoms of COVID must also be improving. In both cases, a doctor’s note on letterhead is required.
Since we are requiring vaccinations and tests, masks will not be required. That being said, it is perfectly acceptable for you to decline to play with or spend time in close proximity with a person who is not masked. Our community is a place where we consistently have to negotiate and discuss consent, and we invite you to make masking one of the many things that you negotiate.
