Hire themed murder mysteries
in Long Beach.
Two-hour interactive murder mysteries hosted by professional improv actors, themed to your company or industry. Best for groups of 15–60.
LA team building splits cleanly between Westside tech offsites (Snap, Riot, Activision, Headspace) that want polished outdoor experiences, DTLA agency and entertainment HQs that want indoor improv-driven formats, and South Bay / Long Beach logistics-and-aerospace teams that want something more grounded. We host scavenger hunts on the Venice Boardwalk and through the Arts District, custom murder mysteries at private DTLA venues, and game shows for all-hands at Hollywood soundstages. Every host is a working improv performer from our 600-deep LA roster, briefed on your team's culture before showing up. HR and People Ops at studios, agencies, and Sand Hill–backed LA tech are our anchor buyer. 100% W-2, AB-5 compliant.
Common settings: speakeasy-style buyouts in DTLA, Old Hollywood–themed nights at boutique hotels in Hollywood and West Hollywood, and bungalow estates on the Eastside.
Showcraft serves Long Beach and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Long Beach is the South Bay's anchor event market — Long Beach Convention Center pulls a steady run of mid-size trade shows and festivals, the Queen Mary hosts overnight corporate buyouts and themed events, and the Grand Prix of Long Beach turns the downtown grid into a brand-activation gauntlet every April. We staff exhibitor booths and lead-capture for Convention Center shows, brand activations along Pine Avenue and the East Village Arts District, Grand Prix sponsor zones, and family-day production at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Roster is heavily bilingual EN/ES with a notable Cambodian (Khmer) pool — relevant for Long Beach's Cambodia Town demographics and community-focused activations. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Questions Long Beach buyers ask about themed murder mysteries.
Where do you run themed murder mysteries in Long Beach?+
Your venue, your office, or a partner venue in Los Angeles. Murder mysteries work best in private rooms (restaurant private dining, hotel ballrooms, office event spaces) where the cast can mingle with your team without intrusion. We'll suggest Long Beach venues if you need help sourcing one.
What's the right team size for a Long Beach murder mystery?+
Best fit is 15-60 participants. Below 15 the cast outnumbers the audience; above 60 the mingling format gets thin and we'd recommend a game-show or scavenger hunt instead. For a Long Beach group of 30-50 the format is at its peak — every guest gets cast interaction.
Are the actors in your Long Beach murder mysteries real performers?+
Yes. Showcraft's murder mystery casts in Long Beach are working improv and theater actors, not coordinators in costume. They run a tight script while improvising guest interactions, which is what makes the format actually fun instead of cringe. Every cast member is W-2 and fully insured.
Can the murder mystery be themed to my Long Beach company or industry?+
Yes. We custom-write the script around your company, industry, or chosen theme (1920s speakeasy, corporate boardroom, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.). Send a brief 3-4 weeks out and we'll incorporate inside jokes, team-member references (with consent), and industry-specific gags for your Long Beach group.
