There's something irresistible about a little mystery — even with someone you already know everything about.

Behind the Mask invites you and your partner to design and craft your own masquerade masks from scratch, side by side, in a room full of feathers, ribbon, lace, gems, and gold leaf. Set among the exposed brick and original art of Tropical Home, this is a night built for creativity with an edge of seduction — because nothing says "intrigue" quite like watching someone you love get quietly obsessed over the exact right shade of black lace.

You'll each start with a blank mask and an open canvas of materials, guided along the way as you decide how much to reveal and how much to conceal. Go elegant and understated, or full drama with feathers and jewels — there's no wrong way to build a little mystery. Half the fun is designing your own; the other half is designing for each other, dressing up your partner's mask with the details you love most about them.

When the masks are finished, put them on. There's a reason masquerade has been used for centuries to loosen inhibition and heighten attraction — anonymity has a way of making even a familiar face feel new again. Expect wine, low light, lingering eye contact through eyeholes, and the particular thrill of being looked at like a stranger by someone who knows you best.

You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind mask, a photo-worthy moment, and maybe a reason to keep the mask on a little longer once you're home.

Behind the Mask is limited to a small number of couples, kept intimate by design.
