A play party is a social event in which people gather to practice BDSM and socialize with like-minded people. The organizers often provide some large pieces equipment to which people can be tied while the party goers usually bring their own whips, canes, restraints etc. . Generally there is an area for drinking and socializing, an area for changing into more appropriate attire (such as fetishwear and an area for (sexual) play. Here there are usually Dungeon Monitors who enforce party rules such as SSC.

It is not mandatory to play at a party, instead an attendee can merely take the role of a voyeur. It is not acceptable, however, to touch anyone or their toys without permission or to interrupt a scene in any way.

A play party can be a place for safer first date scenes. Often a Do Not Invite List is kept of persistent rule breakers so that participants can know they are in safe company.
