There are about 35 of us (including spouses, etc) and don't want to break the bank in doing it either. We have already done bowling, comedian, and just a supper.  
Looking for fun ideas.

I never gone But I heard great things about the escape room/place.

I know a hotel seems like a boring suggestion but call Amber at the Clarion... she has lots of great ideas for Christmas parties.

I did get a quote from them and we felt it was quite expensive. We spend so much money at christmas time that we try to keep this fun but inexpensive.  
 
I look forward to trying out the Escape room another time though as I have heard nothing but fantastic things about them

Do a paint night at the firehouse. I'm sure they would set up an exclusive night for your group. Supper and drinks to boot.

They are so much fun for everyone! You can book them as a party if you have somewhere to do it cheaper. Maybe some can paint and others can do games. You can do it pot luck. And Amber the sales manager at the Clarion is a great one to call. She could likely set something up at a reasonable cost. Perhaps even a smaller room for a paint night.

Axe throwing ($25/person but they may have deals for large groups?)

Rent a bus, go for supper, do some gambling.  
 
Been there, done that, doing it again a couple times now. They're always looking for groups.

what do you paint ?

It sounds corny but it can be a lot of fun. Devide into teams, each with a vehicle and a dd, and complete tasks or obtain items from a list. Pics as proof. Have a time limit and meet at a location to add up scores and tell the stories of everyones quests. Could be with or without prizes.

Generally lots of fun as long as someone has a bigger house to have it in.  
 
People could dress up for it. You can plan it yourself saving big costs.  
 
And just have appetizers and of course drinks! But perhaps have cocktails, etc. So a little fancy.  
 
Lots of fun.

You could also try the Victoria Inn. They have game packages and can get the escape room I think. Try them they might be able to do a meal in your budget. Last year they did a murder mystery for small businesses in town maybe check if they are doing something like that again.

Call Anna and arrange, she will make it awesome!

If you google paint nights there is a few different companies and there is a gallery you can look at. I have the name of an excellent lady who would do one for you. If you want to msg me your number I could pass it along to her. She is great and can do many different things. You can also ask if it is too advanced, etc.

How about a sleigh ride? We did it one year for a Christmas party and it was very festive feeling. I can't remember the cost per person but it wasn't a lot and everyone brought their own refreshments. The downside is it does kind of depend on the weather.

My wife and I have been putting on Trivia Nights as fund raisers in conjunction with our local Chamber for quite a few years now. We recently decided that after recieving requests for corperate parties to branch out. We are already booked for 1 Christmas party but would be interrsted in booking a couple more. Contact me at mrgarryjones@gmail.com so i can send or meet with you to discuss further. thanks

Such a great idea! I have not been to your Trivia Night in a year or so, but, they are amazing and a lot of fun! I will pass along the news that you are turning this into a business venture! Best of luck!

We had our Xmas party there last year. Was so much fun... I’d recommend it
