Reno is an underrated reunion base — cheap flights, cheap rooms, and Tahoe forty minutes away. The things to plan around are altitude, which affects arriving relatives, and the fact that a Tahoe day is longer and more tiring than it looks.
1. A hosted murder mystery
Ours, and first because it works for every age and asks nothing physically, which on the first day at altitude matters.
We come to wherever the family is — a rental house, a church hall, a hotel meeting room.
2. A day at Lake Tahoe
The reason to gather here. Pick one beach or one viewpoint rather than circling the lake.
3. A park cookout along the Truckee
Central, shaded and pleasant in summer. Reserve a shelter for a large group.
4. A ride on the Virginia and Truckee railroad
A genuine outing that works for every age because it is a train.
5. A day in Virginia City
Historic, compact and something visiting relatives remember. Boardwalks are uneven — mind older relatives.
6. A big group dinner in a private room
Worth doing once and unusually good value in a casino resort. Choose somewhere with parking.
7. A family quiz or talent show
Free, and usually the older generation's favourite. Someone has to run it.
If half the family flew in today and is still feeling the altitude, 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.
