A House Party, Not a Club Night
There are houses with memories, and then there are houses that create them. That is the line Kink-Y opened this series with, and it is the whole brief. Berlin has no shortage of club nights — big rooms, big sound, a floor you can be seen on. The House of Sins is deliberately none of that. It is a house, and for one night Kink-Y fills it with a maximum of 120 guests.
A hundred and twenty people spread through the rooms of a house is a size chosen on purpose. It is small enough to actually mingle — you can hear a whole sentence, the music sits at a level you can talk over, and starting a conversation costs nothing. And it is big enough to get lost in for a while, so you are not circling the same handful of faces all night.
The rooms do the rest. Some are soft and low-lit, the kind of light that makes playing feel easy rather than exposed. Others are set up for something to happen in them — a performance, a moment staged for the night, built around that edition's sins and different every time. The night has several centres of gravity at once, and you are welcome to be in none of them.
Doors open at 21:00 and the house closes at 05:00. Eight hours is long enough for an evening to change character two or three times, which is the point of the format rather than a side effect of it. It is BYOB — bring what you want to drink.
At every Kink-Y party the door closes at a set point in the night, and this one is no exception. It means the people you meet at ten are still there at three, and it means everyone in the house has shared the same evening. The mood keeps building all night instead of starting over.
Seven Deadly Sins, a Different Selection Each Time
Every edition of The House of Sins is inspired by a different selection of the seven deadly sins. The opening edition took Lust and Gluttony, and the promise was that for one night they would stop being words and become rooms, music, flavours, temptations, moments.
Read the sins as an atmosphere and a dress-code prompt, not as a programme or a list of things anyone is expected to do. They tell you what the house is built to feel like. What you do inside it stays entirely yours.
Lust
The obvious one, and the easiest to get wrong. In this house it is read as invitation rather than expectation — attention offered, never assumed, and always easy to decline.
Gluttony
Excess of the senses rather than of anything else. Flavour, texture, temperature, and too much of a good thing. The sin of wanting seconds, staged as abundance.
Greed
Appetite said out loud. An edition built on greed leans on the particular pleasure of asking for exactly what you want — and hearing the answer, whichever way it goes.
Sloth
The most underrated sin at an eight-hour party. Softness, slowness, low light and long conversations. Spending most of the night in one room is a perfectly good night.
Wrath
Heat and intensity. Read through kink, wrath is about release and catharsis — negotiated first, and never aimed at anyone who has not asked for it.
Envy
The sin of looking. Envy plays with watching and being watched, which only works when everyone in the room has agreed to it and can change their mind.
Pride
The sin that turns into a virtue here. Dressing for yourself, walking in as your fullest self, and taking up space without apologising for it.
The Shape of Eight Hours
There is no printed programme. A house does not run to a schedule, and the invitation is deliberately open: wander, follow whatever calls your name, and stay where time disappears. Things do happen, though — a performance, a scene, something staged for that edition. They arrive unannounced, usually where you were not looking, and wandering is how you find them. Only the frame around all of that is fixed.
21:00 — The Doors Open
The calmest hour of the night, and the best one to arrive in. Walk every room while it is quiet, work out where things are, and meet people while talking still costs nothing.
The House Fills
Rooms take on their own characters as the guests arrive — some louder, some darker, some purely conversational. Wandering is the intended way to use the house, and that includes walking straight back out of a room.
The Deep Hours
Somewhere after midnight the clock stops being useful. This is the stretch the invitation means by staying where time disappears, and it is usually what people remember.
05:00 — The Doors Close
Leave when your body tells you to rather than when the clock does — but five is the hard end. Work out how you are getting home before you need to know.
Consent Is the House Rule
Nothing here is expected of anyone. Some guests talk all night and do nothing else. Some find one room and stay in it. Some come for the atmosphere and go home at one. All of that is the night working exactly as intended, and none of it needs justifying to anybody.
Because it is BYOB, you also set your own pace — set it deliberately, because consent works in both directions and eight hours is a long night. If something feels off, or you simply want someone to stand with for a minute, find a Kink-Y organiser. We would far rather hear about it during the party than afterwards.
Phones stay away. No photos, no video, at any point in the house. Everyone here is trusting the room with something, and that trust is the whole reason the night works — so the camera stays in your bag, and it never points at anyone.
If this is new to you, read our consent policy and our event guidelines before you come. They are short, they are what everyone in the room has already agreed to, and they are the fastest way to walk in feeling like you know how the night works.
What to Know Before You Book
The questions people actually write to us about, answered in one place. Every edition also has its own event page with the date, the sins it is built on, the neighbourhood and the booking link.
Tickets and Price
Tickets sit between €25 and €35 per person depending on the night, with a couple ticket at twice that. There are 120 places, and that number is the format rather than a target — it does not go up if demand does.
Dress Code
Kinky and sexy, with the sins of that edition as your prompt. Effort reads far louder than expense, and eight hours is a long time to spend in shoes you cannot stand up in.
BYOB
Bring your own bottle. Plan the drinks you want for the night rather than arriving expecting to buy them, and bring something non-alcoholic as well.
Coming Alone or Together
Solo guests and couples book on the same terms and mix from the start. In a house of 120 people, arriving on your own stops being something you notice very quickly.
Coming to Your First House Party
If this would be your first sex-positive party in Berlin, a house is a gentle place to start. Fewer people, a volume you can talk over, and rooms you can always step out of.
We always suggest meeting the community first. Come to a Berlin Munch: a relaxed bar, a drink, and a crowd that is there to talk rather than to play. And join our Telegram community — the people you will meet at the house already spend their time there. Both are free. Both mean you walk in knowing a few faces.
You are welcome without that. Plenty of guests come to us straight from outside the community, and we say yes to them regularly. We simply read those applications more closely: the answers on the form, and whether the vibe fits the room.
Arriving at 21:00 helps too. The house is still quiet, and talking to strangers costs nothing at that hour.
And if 120 guests sounds like a lot, Right Below is our smaller night — sixty people, midweek, an underground space and a stocked bar instead of BYOB.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The House of Sins?
- The House of Sins is a Kink-Y series of sex-positive house parties in Berlin. Every edition is inspired by a different selection of the seven deadly sins, which shape the rooms, the music, the flavours and the mood of the night — the opening edition was built on Lust and Gluttony. A maximum of 120 guests, 21:00 to 05:00, BYOB.
Who can come to The House of Sins?
- Adults only, solo or as a couple, on exactly the same terms. Kink-Y events are open to all genders and orientations, and you do not need to have been to one of ours before. Tickets run between €25 and €35 per person depending on the edition, with a couple ticket at twice that, and the house is capped at 120 guests.
What should I wear?
- The dress code is kinky and sexy, and the sins of that edition make a good prompt. Effort counts for far more than expense — a considered outfit beats an expensive one every time. Comfort counts too: the doors are open from 21:00 to 05:00, so dress for eight hours in a house rather than for a two-hour appearance.
Is there a bar, or what does BYOB mean here?
- BYOB means bring your own bottle. Plan the drinks you want for the night rather than arriving expecting to buy them, and bring something non-alcoholic as well. It is an eight-hour night, and pacing yourself is part of being good company in a house this size.
Do I have to play or take part in anything?
- No. Nothing is expected of anyone, at any point. Plenty of guests spend the whole night talking, listening to the music and enjoying the house. Everything is optional, consent is asked for out loud, and no is a complete answer that needs no explanation and no repair afterwards.
How do I book a place?
- Expect somewhere between €25 and €35 per person depending on the night, with a couple ticket at twice that — the event page carries that edition's exact price. There are only 120 places and the cap does not move, so booking ahead is the safe move. You can book from the event page here on kink-y.de. Most people use our app instead: it makes booking quicker, shows the guest list filling up in real time, and lets you connect with the people you met once the night is over. It lives at meetonnixie.app.
