Probe's Queer Night - Penguin Formal

Probe's Penguin Formal: A Queer Play Party

Get ready to dive into the quirky, charming world of Probe’s Penguin Formal, where love and creativity waddle hand in hand. Inspired by the delightful tradition of Penguin Pebbling, we invite you to explore what it means to find your “perfect penguin partner.” Will you gift a polished pebble, or perhaps share a smile that speaks volumes?

Join us for an enchanting night of mingling, play, and festive exchanges. The optional Penguin Pebble Exchange allows you to share homemade, found, or repurposed treasures, celebrating the unique ways we show appreciation for those we care about. Whether you’re gifting a crafted token or simply sharing smiles, let’s create a vibrant community of love and acceptance.

Dress in your best black and white attire, channeling the spirit of our flightless friends. Embrace the magic of penguin partnership and discover the beauty of connection in all its forms.

Inviting all who identify as queer and their allies to waddle with us the first Saturday of the month from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM. For the safety of all, our entry door locks at 11PM—so be sure to make your way in before the night ices over.

At 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.

A 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.

Tickets 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.

Bring an optional gift (recommending homemade, found or repurposed) to participate in the Pebble Exchange. We'll have extras on the table too so no one is left out!

A 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.

Our dedicated Dungeon Monitors (DMs) will be present throughout the venue, attentively supervising the play areas and offering assistance to ensure everyone's safety.
