Tintype Photobooth at Atlas Realty’s Murder Mystery Holiday Party
Atlas Realty raised the bar for corporate holiday celebrations with a fully immersive murder mystery themed holiday party set within the historic George Schleier Mansion at Urban Cowboy Denver. Designed as an evening of exploration, storytelling, and connection, the event blended interactive experiences, hidden clues, and a tintype photobooth that offered guests a truly meaningful portrait to take home.
A Historic Denver Venue Turned Interactive Experience
The George Schleier Mansion provided the perfect setting for a murder mystery experience. With its historic architecture, intimate rooms, and layered atmosphere, the mansion invited guests to move throughout the space rather than remain in one central area.
Each room offered a distinct experience—from lounge areas to guest rooms—encouraging conversation, curiosity, and discovery. In every space, a carefully hidden clue helped guests piece together the mystery as the night unfolded.
Food, Drinks, and Lounge Spaces That Encouraged Connection
Guests enjoyed Little Johnny B’s woodfired pizza, served fresh throughout the evening and perfectly suited for a relaxed, social atmosphere. Two full bars kept the energy high, while multiple lounge areas allowed guests to pause, connect, and discuss theories about the unfolding mystery.
Rather than a traditional sit-down event, the layout promoted movement and interaction— an approach increasingly favored by event planners and corporate convention planners looking to create more engaging experiences.
Experiential Moments Hidden Throughout the Mansion
One of the most memorable aspects of the evening was how each guest room held a unique experience. From intimate poetry readings to immersive character moments, every space rewarded curiosity.
Tucked among these experiences was the tintype photobooth—a quiet but captivating moment where guests could slow down and step into history while capturing their portrait.
The Tintype Photobooth: A Meaningful Takeaway
Unlike modern digital photo booths, tintype photography offers something rare and personal. Guests watched as their portraits were created using a historic photographic process, resulting in a one-of-a-kind metallic print they could hold in their hands immediately.
- Creates a deeper emotional connection than disposable event swag
- Encourages guests to slow down and be present
- Fits seamlessly into historic and themed events
- Provides a timeless keepsake guests display long after the event
At Atlas Realty’s holiday party, the tintype photobooth became both an experience and a clue, blending effortlessly into the overall storytelling of the night.
Why Event Planners Choose Tintype Photobooths
For corporate event planners, convention organizers, and private party hosts, the challenge is creating something that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable. A tintype photobooth offers:
- A unique conference or event activation guests haven’t seen before
- An experience rooted in craftsmanship and history
- A physical portrait that outlasts the event itself
- A meaningful alternative to standard branded giveaways
Whether for a corporate holiday party, brand activation, or private celebration, tintypes create moments guests remember—and talk about.
A Holiday Party Guests Won’t Forget
Atlas Realty’s murder mystery holiday party succeeded because it combined thoughtful design, immersive storytelling, and meaningful experiences.
