ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Masquerade ball

Okay kiddo, have you ever dressed up in a costume for Halloween or a party? Well, a masquerade ball is kind of like that but fancier!

At a masquerade ball, everyone wears a special type of costume called a masquerade mask. These masks can be really fancy and cover most of your face, including your eyes. They come in lots of different colors and styles, like with feathers or glitter.

The fun part is that nobody knows who is behind each mask! It's like a mystery game where everyone gets to dress up and have fun without worrying about what they look like or who they are.

People dance and mingle at the masquerade ball, and sometimes there are even contests for the best mask or the best costume. It's a really special event that people get dressed up for and have a lot of fun at.

Is that easy to understand, little one?
