Oakland is an underrated reunion city — central for family spread across California, far cheaper than San Francisco, and with weather that almost never cancels anything. The hills and the bay give you real variety within twenty minutes.
1. A hosted murder mystery
Ours, and first because it works for every age and asks nothing physically. Everyone gets a character and a secret.
We come to wherever the family is — a rental house in the hills, a church hall, a community room.
2. A park day at Redwood Regional or Joaquin Miller
Shaded, cool, and reservable group areas. The best value day available here.
3. A day at Lake Merritt
Central, flat and walkable for most ages, with somewhere to sit throughout.
4. A ferry trip to San Francisco
Everyone together, scenic, and it makes the weekend feel like an occasion.
5. A big group dinner in a private room
The food is a genuine reason to do this properly. Book it, and mind the parking.
6. A day at Chabot Space and Science Center
Holds a wide age range and is indoors when the fog rolls in.
7. A family quiz or talent show
Free, and usually the older generation's favourite. Someone has to run it.
If you want one evening the whole family can take part in, 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.
