History
Our founders have been playing games since before they could walk. In 2009, they met on a shuttle bus to the children's science museum where they both worked. To kill time on the ride, they talked about games, and they've been talking about them ever since. Since 2010 we've been playing and creating games designed around the belief that YOU are the hero of your own adventure. Part Clue, part Mafia, part Monopoly, The Racket is our longest-running event: A Neo-Noir solution to the classic Murder Mystery, starring you.
Specialties
San Francisco's newest game in town is a Neo-Noir adventure, starring you. Part parlor game, part cocktail party, part rat race, The Racket invites participants into the opening scene of their favorite Noir film, then turns the plotting over to them. Furnished with a new profession, guests must navigate an underground party where deals are made in back rooms, black markets blossom, and everyone is competing to have the most money at the end of the night. As the evening gets going, guests can team up with or turn the tables on other party-goers, crack a safe, recover a priceless artifact, or murder anyone who isn't watching their back. It's a performance with no actors, a game with (almost) no rules, a Film Noir fever dream that blurs the line between play and player, hero and villain. Designed for private parties and corporate events, The Racket is a novel way to meet new people or get to know your friends and coworkers in a new and intriguing way. Our specialties include: * Team Building Events * Company Off-sites * Birthday Parties * Conference Events * Fundraisers * Holiday Parties We're happy to come host an event at a venue of your choice anywhere in the Bay Area, and are always happy to answer your questions via phone or email.
