What does Dungeon Monitor mean?

Reviewed September 17, 2026

A dungeon monitor is a trained or appointed event volunteer who helps maintain consent, safety, privacy, and house rules in a play space. They may answer questions, observe for concerns, and coordinate with event organizers.

A dungeon monitor (DM) is a trained or appointed volunteer who supports the safe, respectful operation of a play space at an adult event. Rather than participating as a guest, the DM watches the room, answers basic questions, reminds attendees of posted rules, and helps protect privacy. They may check that equipment appears usable, confirm that an activity has clear consent, and direct concerns to event organizers.

DMs are usually not therapists, security professionals, or substitute communicators. If you feel unsure, ask what support they can provide and where organizers can be reached. Follow their instructions, use agreed signals such as safe words, and speak up before a boundary is crossed. Practices and staffing vary by event, so review the host’s current rules rather than assuming every venue operates the same way.

New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
