Murder mysteries, live games & socials · Northern Colorado
We write live games, murder mysteries and socials, then bring the whole night to a local venue, your office, or your party. You bring the people. We run the fun, and we clean up after.

Experiences
Every format travels. The story, the props, the host, the timing and the reset come with us.
Want to surprise your guests?
Someone in the room did it. Original murder mysteries timed to your dinner, pop-up mysteries that take over a party without warning, and detective games where the whole crowd works the case.
Want someone to take over the fun?
We walk in, grab the room and run it. Rotating games, ridiculous prompts and just enough chaos that nobody has to do the awkward small talk.
Want a theme everyone can get into?
Nights with a theme and a run of show. Galas, fundraisers and dances that keep the floor moving, a 90s prom with a bar, and easygoing socials for cafes and cozy rooms.
Have an idea nobody offers?
Tell us the weird idea. We build it: a mobile escape room in your office, a team challenge for your offsite, or something that has never existed before.
Our first public show · Preview night
First round's on the house. The cure isn't.
A sponsor's CEO is thrilled you came, and the first round is free. Then the lights drop, the screen thanks you for joining H.I.-V.E.M.I.N.D., and your group has sixty minutes to find a cure. There's only one dose. The room decides who gets it.
Phones are welcome. The company has a website, a hotline and a few things it would rather you didn't find.
New show · Co-hosted with The Arabella
Behind every mask, a motive.
A masquerade night at The Arabella takes a deadly turn, and the guests are the ones who have to work it out. Live actors play the story around you while your group chases clues and cracks puzzles against the clock. Think escape room meets theater.
Ages 18+. Costumes encouraged, masks welcome, and best-dressed awards go out at the show.
Private & corporate
Team building people talk about on Monday. Holiday parties with a plot. Fundraisers that keep the room moving. Birthdays for someone who has it coming.
Private nights are planned in a conversation, not picked from a menu. Tell us the moment and Amanda writes back within one business day with a few questions and a time to talk. Then you get one clear quote.
For venue owners
Slow Tuesday? We build recurring, low-pressure community nights that give people a reason to leave the house, stay longer, and come back next month. And we bring a crowd that follows the fun from venue to venue: the dilly-dalliers.
No upfront fee. We split ticket sales. The low-risk way to run a pilot night.
A flat fee per event. Best for recurring nights that already have their footing.
A smaller fee plus a share of tickets, so we both win when the room fills.
Our add-on experiences are already offered through select Northern Colorado venues. Ask about bringing us to yours.
Who you'll work with
Dilly Dally Social is a Northern Colorado family business. We write every story ourselves and run every night in person. The party stays a party: no sales pitch on the floor, ever.
Runs Dilly Dally Social
Amanda has owned and run escape room venues and brings more than ten years in HR, consulting and operations. When you send a request, she's the one who writes back.
Writes the shows
Todd builds the productions: the scripts, the clue trails, the props and the run sheets. For our first nights, he's in the room running the game.
About the pickle
The pickle with the gray mustache is here in memory of Alan Schreier, the original Schreier, who was always the life of the party. He lives on with us. We're here to entertain you and bring you joy, because that's what he did for us.
A roaming party company from Northern Colorado. We write live games, mysteries and socials, pack them up, and run them in someone else's room: a venue, your office, or your party. You get to be a guest at your own event.
No. Come solo or bring your crew. Everyone in the room plays, and everyone gets a job.
Last Call and Murder at the Masquerade are for guests 18 and up. For private events it depends on the format. Tell us who's coming and we'll tell you what fits.
Every private event gets its own quote for your group, your venue and your date. One quote, one invoice, no surprises.
All over Northern Colorado, including Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Johnstown, Windsor and Longmont, and beyond. We come to your venue or office, or help you find a room.
Public shows are sold on our Tickets page. Last Call (Thursday, Nov 5) is $40 a seat and Murder at the Masquerade (Friday, Nov 13) is $40 a seat. Tickets for both are on sale now on our Tickets page.
Yes. Murder mysteries, mobile escape rooms and game takeovers make team building people actually enjoy. Tell us your group size and date in the private event form and Amanda will send one clear quote.
Only if you want it to be. Most of what we run is silly, social and cooperative. Ask for a zero-horror format and that's what you'll get.
Yes. That's most of what we do. Use the form below, choose "I run a venue," and tell us about the nights you'd like to fill.
Tell us what you or your guests need when you inquire or book. We'll tell you honestly how the room and the show work, and adjust what we can.
