DESCRIPTION:Probe’s Queer Night: MASQUERADE \n\n\n\nBehind the mask\, the night comes alive… \n\n\n\nThis March\, embrace the dazzling spirit of Mardi Gras with a night steeped in glamour\, bold expression\, and colourful connection. Whether you’re drawn to shimmering beads\, enchanted masks\, or simply celebrating your true self\, MASQUERADE invites you to lose yourself in the magic of the moment. \n\n\n\n✨ What to Expect: \n\n\n\nAtmosphere: A lavish space dripping in jewel tones\, glowing lights\, and the allure of mystery. Think masked elegance\, carnival-inspired décor\, and a festive twist on queer connection. \n\n\n\nCraft Station: Design your own mask or add flair to your existing one—supplies provided to let your creativity shine! \n\n\n\nDress to Impress: Bring the drama! Bold colors\, gilded accents\, or a look that screams “carnival royalty.” Masks encouraged\, but the real treasure is you. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7 PM. For the safety of all\, our entry door locks at 11 PM. \n\n\n\nUnmask your true self\, embrace the unknown\, and celebrate in a space where queerness reigns supreme. This is your night to dazzle\, play\, and revel in the joy of community. 💜💚💛 \n\n\n\nAt Probe\, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome all individuals of all sexual orientations\, genders\, and identities. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone feels respected\, valued\, and free to express themselves authentically. Our venue is wheelchair accessible\, with an elevator available. Our goal is to provide an accessible\, inclusive space. If you have any questions or have specific accommodation requests\, please reach out to us. \n\n\n\nA membership is required to attend our play parties. If you haven’t secured your membership yet\, be sure to do so before the event! You can sign up for your membership on our site here or can be purchased at the door. \n\n\n\nTickets are available on a sliding scale to promote inclusivity and accessibility. We offer limited “supported” and “sustain” tickets at a lower price for community members who might otherwise be unable to attend. Please choose the ticket price that makes this event accessible to you. If you’d like to support event accessibility\, consider purchasing a “generous” or “benevolent” ticket\, which helps subsidize lower-price options. All ticket types provide the same access to the event. \n\n\n\nA variety of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available all night to keep you refreshed and energized. Please note that bringing alcohol is not allowed. \n\n\n\nOur dedicated Dungeon Monitors (DMs) will be present throughout the venue\, attentively supervising the play areas and offering assistance to ensure everyone’s safety.
