Obsidian Playground offers a space where black and melanated people can feel free to let loose and enjoy an unforgettable night! Immerse yourself in a night of appreciation of Jamaican culture, indulge in your kinks, and let the party take you to new heights of pleasure!

Who Can Attend:

Obsidian Playground is a community that celebrates kinky connections within the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community. This event is specifically designed to center Black and brown folk of all genders and sexual orientations. We offer a safe space for people with shared cultural backgrounds and social experiences to meet, mingle, and explore.

We cannot and will not turn anyone away based on race or presentation. As such, we will trust attendees to respect our space and our intentions. That said, we reserve the right to remove anyone for any reason - usually as a consequence for bringing an element of unease or discomfort for any number of our guests. Please be 21 and over to attend.

(For any questions, or more details on our community guidelines please see PagansParadise.com)

Your Experience Will Include (Non-Sexual):

• Opening Circle: Our host will go over the guidelines on consent and mutual desire, ensuring that everyone is aligned in respecting this special, safe space. We'll also provide an overview of the various rooms, stations, and the range of activities available throughout the night.
• Desire Board: To facilitate new connections and manifest fantasies, attendees will be given an opportunity to manifest their desires for the night by writing them down and pinning them to the Desire board! 

Note - this does not guarantee that your desires will be met then and there. We simply wish to amplify the chances of our success by giving them a voice and sending it out into the universe!

• Herbal Treats: On sale and provided to us by the illustrious Pretty Tokers.
• Multiple Experience Rooms: Each room will be designed to match our attendees' varied tastes and interests, from high-energy impact play and dance to a more soothing sensual environment and even a quiet, low stimulation room to decompress and recharge your battery.
• Facilitators: Our staff are all trained and on duty around the clock to ensure that you have a safe and welcoming experience while you are in our space.
• Live Performances and Demonstrations: We will be offering different exhibitions for you throughout the night for those who are feeling more voyeuristic and are feeling more comfortable to just hang back and watch the excitement!
• “Whine-Off” and Prizes: A fun dance competition to all who feel they have an exceptional talent for the Jamaican “Dutty Wine”.
