Madison is a state capital and a major university in one small city, which means the workforce skews highly educated and the calendar bends around both the legislature and the academic year. And winter here is long enough to shape half your planning.
1. A hosted murder mystery at your own office or venue
Ours, and first because it works in February, when Madison is at its least accommodating and a team most needs something. We come to your office.
Everyone gets a character and a motive — a puzzle rather than an exercise, which suits this workforce.
2. An escape room
Indoors, good for six to eight, and it fragments above that.
3. A brewery buyout
A genuinely good Wisconsin scene with real function space at fair prices. Non-drinkers need thought.
4. A lakes day or terrace afternoon
The Memorial Union Terrace is one of the best things in the Midwest and free. Four months of the year.
5. A cooking class
Good for twelve to twenty-five and indoors, and the farmers' market culture here makes it worthwhile.
6. A Badgers game
A genuine civic event. Tickets are hard and the city is full that weekend.
7. A farmers' market morning
The Saturday market on the square is genuinely special and very Madison. It is a wandering activity.
8. Volunteering
Very well received in this city. Parallel work rather than shared work.
The Madison planning note
Summer books out early because the season is short and the terrace is the best thing in town. Winter is wide open and cheaper, and is when an indoor event does the most good. Check the football calendar either way.
If February is when your team most needs something and least wants to go out, 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.
