Hire themed murder mysteries
in Studio City.
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.

Questions Studio City buyers ask about themed murder mysteries.
Where do you run themed murder mysteries in Studio City?+
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 Studio City venues if you need help sourcing one.
What's the right team size for a Studio City 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 Studio City group of 30-50 the format is at its peak — every guest gets cast interaction.
Are the actors in your Studio City murder mysteries real performers?+
Yes. Showcraft's murder mystery casts in Studio City 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 Studio City 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 Studio City group.
