How does check-in work?

Check-in takes place at Kaluu between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Simply show your ticket, receive your wristband and welcome kit, and you'll be ready to join the crawl. Wristbands are required for entry and drink perks at all participating venues.

Is there a dress code or age requirement?

What if I arrive late or miss check-in?

Check-in is required to receive your wristband, so arriving between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM is strongly recommended. If you're running late, you may still be able to receive your wristband at Kaluu if staff remains onsite, but entry and perks cannot be guaranteed after the check-in period.
