Dungeon 101 serves as an introduction into public BDSM play. If you have never attended a public BDSM play event, it can be a bit daunting.

Attendees and presenters come from a diverse cross section of the community, all orientations, genders and kinks are welcome. You are welcome to come alone, bring a friend or bring a bunch of friends.
From 7:30 until 8:00 PM will be social time. Starting at 8:00 PM, there will be a talk on scene etiquette and an opportunity to learn about the dungeon itself. Directly following will be a "Exploratorium" event until 11:00 PM where you can try and/or experience many different kinds of play scenes. The idea is for it to be a fun evening for everyone!
No advance tickets are available for this event - please plan to arrive early and pay at the door.
$10 with Gateway card,
$25 members with membership card,
$35 all others
More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for Open Play. We ask that everyone except presenters keep their toy bags put away until Open Play starts to avoid confusion. No scenes or play permitted during the Exploratorium.
This is an outreach event, you do not need to be a BR or Crucible member to attend.
In order to foster a learning environment, there is no sex allowed at Dungeon 101, and no alcohol is sold. This applies all night, even during open play after the Exploratorium has concluded.

RISQUE (21+)
December 13, 2025 9:00 pm - December 14, 2025 2:00 am
RISQUÉ is a monthly BDSM play party with music provided by the area’s hottest EDM DJs.
This year, RISQUÉ is taking our winter tradition into darker territory—by blacking out the Crucible and letting nothing shine except you. The venue goes dark, the UV lights come on, and every white and UV-reactive detail becomes the focus.
For this BLACKOUT edition, all guests are encouraged to wear white or UV-reactive clothing, lingerie, leather, mesh, paint, or accessories. The darker the room, the brighter you’ll stand out.
To push the glow even further, we’ll have a UV body painter onsite, ready to turn bodies into living artwork designed to pop under blacklight.
Step into the dark. Light up the room. To view this month's demos and DJ's, view the Risque event page on Fet. https://fetlife.com/events/1928688
You must be a Crucible member or the guest of a member to attend.
Admission is $25 for members and $35 for guests. All attendees must be at least 21 years old.

LOBO Presents: Animal Haus (21+)

A wild new play party has just been unleashed at The Crucible. From the creators of Lights Out, Barks Out comes Animal Haus, a monthly music and play event centered at the intersection of pet play and kink. DJs will be spinning all night long, while attendees can explore The Crucible’s 6,000 square feet of play space. Fursuiters, Pups, and petplayers from all around the DMV can expect a fun, consent based, unforgettable evening.
Animal Haus is a break from LOBO’s usual event (held on the second saturday at The Green Lantern). While you can still expect the same caliber of music and excitement, Animal Haus is centered on bringing together folks from all different communities to play, dance, and
connect in a way that is solely unique to The Crucible. In this members-only space, nudity and open play is allowed, and occasionally LOBO will feature demo stations so folks can get a taste of different flavors of Kink.
This event is 21+ and will have a bar. While there is no formal coat check, there is a coat/gear/tote/etc room to hold any of your gear or bags (first come first serve). The Crucible features a dance floor, seating area, lounge, 2 private rooms, a semi private space, and a huge dungeon space packed with furniture to help fulfill any fantasy.
Please note you must be a member or a guest of a member to attend. One member per guest allowed, guests may only be guested in twice before we ask that they purchase a membership. Memberships are $40 a year and can be purchased from the-crucible.com. Membership must be purchased in advance of attending any event at The Crucible.
