Erie has plenty going on after dark, but groups often end up doing the same thing every time. Here are a few ways to mix it up.
Go out
- Catch a show downtown. Check what's playing at local theaters and music venues before you pick a date.
- Try a brewery or winery crawl. The Lake Erie wine country along Route 5 makes an easy group outing with a designated driver.
- Book a game night out. Escape rooms, bowling and arcades work well for groups of 6 to 12.
Stay in (and make it an event)
Staying home doesn't have to mean the couch. A themed night gives everyone something to do together.
- Potluck plus a game. Pick one big group game and build the night around it.
- Murder mystery night. Great if your friends like to act. See our hosting guide.
- A Mystery Mail Party. We bring sealed lost and unclaimed packages to your home. Nobody knows what's inside. Your group opens them, plays games and trades. It's hosted or drop-off, and we're based right here in Erie.
Why a home party works for groups
You control the guest list, the snacks and the time. Nobody has to shout over a band. And everyone leaves with a story.
