The Witt & Play Code of Conduct is the set of standards every member agrees to before they can join or host a game. Because games happen in the real world — often in members’ private homes — the community is held to a high standard of conduct. Accepting the code of conduct is a one-time requirement that gates access to the entire platform.Documentation Index
