Adult only. Private by design.
How long a lifestyle party lasts
There is no standard length. The invite names a start, and the house rules name when people head for the door. You can leave sooner.
The short answer
A lifestyle party lasts until the time the host wrote in the invite. The start is on that same invite. You say the end out loud, and you keep it.
One private link per couple. Answers close at the time the host set, and that time is not the end of the evening. A name appears only when both people said yes.
Adult only. Private by design. You confirm you are 18 or older. Only the host checks people in. When you are ready to host, start from the host home. The hosting help walks through the clock and the door.
How the clock works
Read the start and the end before you accept. The three formats do not share one length.
- A new speed date starts at five minutes a round. The host can change the length, pause, add time, or skip. The host starts the next round when ready. People stay dressed.
- A key party is one shared reveal. The host starts it. Phones wait about ten seconds. The room sees one person, only if both people said yes. Later rounds are still one person at a time.
- A play party waits until the host closes the answers, checks guests in, and then opens the matches. Checking someone in does not open the names.
- Leaving early is allowed. If you came as a couple, you leave together.
- Staying past the time in the invite needs the host to ask. The written end is the end.
The end is a kindness
Say the end time while people can still choose the night. A driveway, a sitter, and a Sunday flight all need a clock. Coats, water, and the ride home belong in that hour.
The group chat has its own clock. The host can leave it open, or close it after the night, after a day, or after a week. Closing the chat is not the same as sending people home. The street stays hidden until the host releases it, and it stays off the goodbye.
If you host
Write the end in the invite before you send the link. Repeat it if people are still in the kitchen. You do not need the group to vote that the night is over.
A vague end is how people miss a bridge, a sitter, or a morning flight. Pick a time you can keep. On a speed date, the night is the rounds you actually run. A new party starts at five minutes a round, and you start the next one when you are ready. A match needs both couples to say yes.
