Note: These guidelines have been updated as of 8/18/21 to reflect the reinstating of the WA State and King County Mask Mandate.
Attendees must be fully vaccinated and wear masks
As excited as we are to be hosting our first Night of Gaming for Good since the coronavirus placed the world in a standstill, we need to acknowledge that the threat of the virus has not completely left. At this event (and any near future events we hold), our highest priority is to be aware of the risks we are taking and to mitigate them as much as we can: the well-being of our guests is our number one concern. We want to be able to play freely but safely!
Therefore, we have made the decision to have our first returning event on September 3rd, to be a 100% fully vaccinated event only. All attending MUST be fully vaccinated by the day of the event. This includes guests, our staff, volunteers, and so forth. This means you must be 2 weeks out from the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or 2 weeks out from the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Proof of vaccination will be required at the door. This needs to be in the form of your official COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or a clear, readable photo thereof. If you are a Washington state resident, your COVID-19 immunization records via mobile browser at wa.myir.net will also be considered valid. In addition to proof of vaccination, you will also need a valid form of photo identification (driver's license, passport, etc.) for cross-reference purposes
We sympathize with folks who are unable to receive the vaccine for medical or other valid reasons but at this time we cannot in good conscience host the unvaccinated, especially with numbers of new variant cases on the rise. We look forward to hosting those folks at a future event when the threat of Covid-19 is no longer a palpable danger. This was a bittersweet decision, so thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Wear a Mask
As of August 23, 2021, MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED in public indoor spaces as per Washington State and King County health and safety guidelines, in an effort to slow the spread of the contagious delta variant that now makes up a significant number of new Covid-positive cases. We must ask that you wear your mask at all times during our event, with the only exception being when seated at your table to dine/play. If you leave your table at any time, please wear your mask.
For approved face masks, we will be following the same mask guidelines as required by PAX West. For more information on proper mask protection, visit the CDC’s page on the do’s and don’ts of mask usage.
Precautions at the Event
We will be enforcing this mask policy throughout the night. We will have extra disposable masks on hand if needed. We are also limiting capacity to give us to give us more room to spread out comfortably. Please sanitize often throughout the night - hand sanitizers will be provided in each guest’s SWAG Bag and there will be other sanitizing stations around the venue. We will have wipes available at each table, so please help out by sanitizing your area when switching tables, both when leaving your old table and when joining a new table. We know this part isn’t fun, so thank you in advance for understanding and helping to keep everyone safe.
Inherent Risk
Even with all these measures, a risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any event or public space, including at our event. By attending, you acknowledge this and agree to follow all applicable health policies and guidelines.
Please stay home if you:
Are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, chills, breathing difficulties, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, body or headaches, or other identified Covid-19 symptoms. We will fully refund any guests who come down with the crud (C-word or otherwise) during the time of our event.
Have been in contact with someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 symptoms and have not completed a 14-day quarantine.
Thank You for your Cooperation
These precautions are being taken to ensure we are not contributing to the spread of the virus, so that we can fully enjoy this epic comeback. Let us game, feast, and be merry, while raising funds for the Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Uncompensated Care program. Looking forward to seeing you!
