The Sensory Contract
This is our commitment to you. Every venue we scout and every gathering we host strictly honors these boundaries to ensure a low-pressure, accessible environment.
🎵 No Loud Music
We keep ambient sound strictly controlled with zero background music so holding conversations or focusing remains effortless.
💡 No Flashing Lights
Rooms are selected with soft ambient lighting and zero strobing or harsh fluorescent flickers to prevent sensory overload.
🌡️ Comfortable Temp
Rooms are kept at a balanced temperature so physical discomfort never adds to sensory fatigue.
🧼 Fragrance-Free
We politely request attendees refrain from wearing heavy perfumes or colognes out of respect for chemical sensitivities.
💬 Conversation Optional
Parallel play is celebrated. You are welcome to build or puzzle alongside others without any pressure to keep up small talk.
🎧 Headphones Welcome
Wear noise-canceling headphones or earplugs whenever you need. Nobody will assume you are being impolite.
🪀 Fidgets Welcome
Bring your favorite fidget toys, tangles, or spin rings. Tactile tools are welcome and encouraged.
🤫 Quiet Area Available
A quiet step-out space is always identified so you can recharge whenever you need a quick break.
🚫 No Forced Icebreakers
You will never be put on the spot to introduce yourself, wear name tags, or participate in awkward circle games. Join in at your own pace.
🏃 Arrive / Leave Anytime
Show up late or leave early without needing to explain, apologize, or make a grand exit. Your timeline is yours.
🪑 Personal Space
Seating is arranged with comfortable elbow room and clear walking paths so you never feel crowded.
📄 Rules in Writing
Event format and room layouts are clearly published taking all guesswork out of social expectations.
♾️ It's Okay to Stim
Rocking, hand-flapping, or pacing are natural ways to self-regulate. You are invited to unmask and exist comfortably.
🍎 Food Optional
Eating or drinking is never required. Any snacks are kept separate from gaming areas to avoid sensory stress.
