Wristbands · The parche code

When you get to Melo, you choose how you want to be seen.

You decide how to show up to others at the hostel or the party. Five wristbands to choose from: put it on at check-in and switch it whenever you want.

No means No. The wristband opens the conversation — it never decides it. Respect is the most Melo thing.
