If I were Ikea I'd try turning into a paid event. Collect the money ahead of time ($5 per person?) and you're golden.

- gremlinsinc 7y agothis! and they could limit # of participants so it doesn't get out of hand.
- Retric 7y agoMight be worth it outside of normal store hours, but 15k is not going to be enough to basically shut the place down for an a few hours. Worse their liability would likely be a significant issue.
- onemoresoop 7y agoYes, but that makes Ikea assume some responsibility. At the end of the day Ikea sells furniture, people playing a massive hide and seek game are not there to buy furniture.
- swsieber 7y agoThey could use waiver forms, like any other place hosting moderately "dangerous" things (like trampolines, etc.). That said, you could still allow people who came to actually buy furniture. Though, I think it would require more preparation than just winging it.
- aeorgnoieang 7y agoWaivers aren't – just like anything else – perfect protection against (legal) liability. In the U.S. at least, everything can be litigated and even just defending one's self can be expensive.
- astura 7y agoThey'd probably need special insurance for this - doubt their day-to-day policy would cover something like this.
