I currently DM for a group of 4 PCs, but we are going to be potentially adding 3 more bringing the total up to 7. We decided we want to run a one-shot to see how everyone vibes together before continuing with the campaign. The party will be a mix of 4 new players and 3 experienced. I was going to either let them stay their current level of 3 or potentially let them all play at level 5 for fun.
So far, my group of 4 has already run The Death House from the Curse of Strahd campaign. I have been looking all over for a good one shot to do and would love recommendations. I know no matter what I will be having to tune them for a party of 7.
I use a lot of Trilemma Adventures one-page dungeons as one-shots. They are pretty simple to understand and system agnostic enough that I can slot in whatever monsters I need to get the feel of the dungeon right.

If you don't mind paying a small price, I can recommend the adventures of MTBlack on DMsguild here. I've played 4-5 of his adventures and read a few more, and all of them are seriously amazing. He has something for every situation and they are perfectly compatible for a compaign.
If you want specific recommendations you can DM me.

Wild sheep chase! A great one-shot
You will mostly like have to adjust enemy numbers and boss hp (also give it 2 initiatives/activations) based on your party size.
(Edit)- Looking back, apparently it is a level 4 adventure. I know I ran it at level 1, so I must have adjusted the combats. Still! A blast!
