In the room representing greed, there were dreidels and gold coins, according to Washington Jewish Week, via DCist. The greed room was supposed to be a place where friends played games against each other trying to get money.

Someone that attended the party said to Washington Jewish Week, "I was very offended. I just thought it was completely inappropriate," adding that the decorations were, "clearly anti-Semitic."

LivingSocial representative apologized to Washington Jewish Week, saying, "We have looked into it and determined that the inclusion of dreidels with the other games in the gaming room was not a smart choice, and we are very sorry to have upset anyone. Certainly this behavior does not reflect who we are as a company."
