Winston-Salem has something most cities lack in December: genuine local Christmas traditions at Old Salem that staff actually care about. Building near them beats importing something generic.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own venue
Ours, and first because it answers the geography question — we come to your office, so only your own people drive.
It also gets people out of their own departments.
2. A restaurant buyout
Good value here. Book by September for December.
3. An Old Salem Christmas evening
Genuinely special and locally meaningful. Outdoors and cold — pair it with somewhere warm.
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 mill or historic venue
The Innovation Quarter has genuinely characterful industrial buildings. Long lead times.
7. A daytime lunch
Better attended across the Triad, and cheaper.
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. We ask for about 45 days, so early October is the practical last call.
If you want the indoor half of the evening to be worth attending, 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.
