Lubbock is cheap to host a party in and the venues are adequate rather than plentiful. December brings wind and the occasional ice event, and the university empties in mid-December, which changes the city noticeably.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because ice and wind cannot cancel a party in your own building.
It also gets people out of their departmental groups.
2. A restaurant buyout
Very good value. Book by September for December.
3. A hotel ballroom
Right for a few hundred people at low rates.
4. A winery venue
Distinctive and a drive that weather can complicate in December.
5. A brewery buyout
Good value and casual. Non-drinkers need thought.
6. A daytime lunch
Better attended and cheaper, and nobody drives home on ice.
7. A Depot District venue
Characterful and central. Book early.
8. A cooking or cocktail class
Good for twenty to thirty and reliably indoors.
9. Charitable giving instead of an event
Well received and not a party by itself.
Timing
Settle December by the end of September and check the Tech calendar. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If wind or ice could take out your December evening, 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.
