  • Celebrate Safe

    During Masterminds we celebrate safe. If you have questions about the use of alcohol or other drugs you are more than welcome at the Celebrate Safe stand (supported by Unity). Unity is a volunteer project in the Dutch party scene. Their volunteers will be more than happy to provide you with objective and open minded advice about alcohol and other drugs. This will be anonymous and in a safe environment.

  • Disability

    At Masterminds there is a wheelchair accessible entrance and there are disabled toilets. The VIP deck is not accessible for wheelchair visitors.

  • Recycling System

    We work with a deposit system on all cups, cans, and bottles we hand out at the bar during all our events. In order to recycle everything we hand out, we want to collect as much as possible. This way, we keep the event clean together and we make sure there is no trash on the ground.

    How does this work?
    You will receive a recycle chip at the entrance for free. Pay attention: this chip isn’t a coin you can use to pay for beverages. It has no value and can only be used for the deposit.

    1. First round? Hand in your recycle chip during your order at the bar;
    2. Next round? Take your empty cup/bottle to the bar and exchange it when you order your new drink;
    3. Lost your cup? Then you will have to pay 0,5 coin for a new cup/bottle;
    4. Done? Take your empty cup/bottle to the bar and exchange it for a recycle chip.

    This way we will keep Masterminds clean together!

  • Smoking Policy

    Due to the smoking ban in public areas, it is prohibited to smoke outside of the designated smoking areas at Masterminds. Due to the high fines imposed by the NVWA for smoking outside the designated smoking areas and because of the health risks, we have decided not to sell cigarettes at Masterminds so you cannot buy cigarettes during the event.

    It is allowed to bring an e-smoker or vape. Make sure it is filled. It is not allowed to bring open refills, but sealed ones. Smoking is only permitted in designated smoking areas. We would really appreciate your understanding and cooperation on this matter. If you decide to smoke outside the designated smoking areas, you run the risk of being removed from the event. Thanks in advance!
