Saint Paul's December advantage is that nobody expects to be outdoors, so the party is designed indoors from the start. The risk is a storm that takes out an evening at short notice.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because a party at your own office happens whatever the roads are doing.
It also gets people out of their departmental groups.
2. A restaurant buyout
Good value, and better availability than Minneapolis. Book by September.
3. A hotel ballroom
Right for a few hundred people, and skyway access genuinely matters in January.
4. A historic venue
Saint Paul has some of the finest old buildings in the Midwest and several do events. Long lead times.
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 in the dark.
7. A Wild game
Downtown, indoors and popular. Everyone faces the same way.
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 city. Not a party by itself.
Timing
Settle December by the end of September, and have an answer for a heavy snow day. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If you want the version that goes ahead whatever the forecast says, 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.
