Frequently asked questions

Are some things to do age restricted?

If you are interested in playing The Grid, it is 10 and up with supervision required for 12 and under. Bordertown Laser tag is strictly 16 and up. (See District57.com for greater detail) And finally, Karaoke and the rave are strictly 18 and up

Can I walk in and book The Grid or Bordertown?

You technically can, but this event occurs on a Saturday which is a very busy day and these activities often sell out. Or you may not be able to do the activities at your desired time.

Are costumes required?

No, but it is highly encouraged! The more people are dressed up the more fun it is! In order to sign up for the costume contest you will need to be wearing a costume however!

How do I enter into District Games?

Upon arrival the front desk will ask if you want to participate. You will be given a lottery ticket which will be drawn at random for each round. District Games is a bit spicy and we recommend following TV-MA standards when deciding to participate or not.

How do I sign up for DnD?

When you enter District 57, you will find the longest table in the lobby. Mr. Braswell will be there and will instruct you on what the next steps are in order to participate.
