Play parties and dungeons in Vancouver

Vancouver has a smaller but tight-knit scene, with a handful of studios hosting most of what happens. The three-hour gap with the East matters: the times shown here are local ones, the times on the poster.

Parties where play is allowed on site, in space set aside for it. That is what separates them from a club night, where people dance. They are held in dungeons, private lofts or rented venues, and almost always require booking ahead.
