Tour Guidelines

Let's make this 18th Annual Winter's Snow Tour fun, smooth, and welcoming for everyone. Please review and follow these guidelines:

1. Place the Official Tour Sign

Place the official Elite Tour sign at the gates and/or landing of your palace with the following script inside the door:

ON SELECT {
"http://www.elitepalaces.com/Snow2026.html" NETGOTO
}

On December 10th: Update this door sign to link to the first room of your Snow tour. Remember to place a "Next Palace" sign in your last room linking to the next palace in the official tour list!

2. Build 8 to 13 Themed Rooms

We ask each participating palace to have 8 to 13 rooms total with winter or holiday themes. Connect them in sequence so guests can explore comfortably from room to room.

Use the official Next Palace sign inside your final room to guide visitors toward the next palace:

3. Keep Content Appropriate

Content should be appropriate for all ages. If your palace is 18+, we kindly ask you to avoid nudity or explicit material at your gates and main tour rooms during the event period.


4. Be Polite & Say Hello!

Visitors: When entering a home, please stop at the gate and say your hellos before starting the tour. These hosts put in a lot of hard work for your entertainment!
