Chesapeake's December problem is not weather — it is mild here — but geography and shifts. With no city centre and a workforce spread over three hundred square miles, where and when you hold it decides attendance entirely.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because it happens where your team already is, at an hour that suits the rota.
It also gets people out of their own departments.
2. A restaurant buyout
Good value here. Book by September for December.
3. A daytime lunch
The strongest option in a city this spread out with this many shift workers.
4. A hotel ballroom
Right for a few hundred people at sensible rates.
5. A brewery buyout
Good value and casual. Non-drinkers need thought.
6. A venue in Norfolk or Virginia Beach
More choice, and a tunnel for some of your team. Weigh it carefully.
7. A community centre or church hall
Cheap, central to a neighbourhood, and it needs something planned in it.
8. A cooking or cocktail class
Good for twenty to thirty and reliably indoors.
9. Charitable giving instead of an event
Well received in this community. Not a party by itself.
Timing
Settle December by the end of September. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If there is nowhere central to hold it, We bring the host, the storyline and every piece of the game to your venue, and we ask for about 45 days so it can be staffed and prepared properly. Pricing and availability shows what your guest count works out to, you can book a date directly, and the contact page reaches a person if you would rather talk it through first.
