You're Invited to ...
The Racket
Step through the door and into the role of a mover and shaker in a city of upstanding citizens and underhanded crooks. Will you be a Doctor? A Detective? A Thief? Anything and anyone is possible in this city founded on intrigue, corruption, and murder.
Join the rat race to be the Guest with the most money at the end of the evening, then lie, cheat and steal your way to the front of the pack.
Just make sure you're still standing at the end of the night. At a party like this, there are bound to be a few folks worth trusting and a few dozen others better left alone, and with this much money on the line, asking someone to watch your back might just give them time to stick a knife in it.
The Racket is a Murder-sans-Mystery party for groups of 25 to 100 people in the San Francisco Bay Area. We got rid of the Mystery to make more room for the Murder, and ended up with an evening that feels a lot more like Grand Theft Auto than Clue.
We specialize in parties for professional teams and private individuals, and we'd be delighted to come to your home, office, or a private venue of your choice. In the last year we've played in an antique dealership / meat kitchen, jam-packed apartments, a Historical Society mansion and a retired icebreaking ship, not to mention some local bars and a century-old convent-turned-art-collective.
Our team includes a dedicated staff of charming Hosts, who will keep the evening running smoothly, as well as a professional photographer, blackjack dealer and experienced bartending staff (client preferring and location permitting).

"The Racket infused the party with an electric energy and excitement. I met and schemed with friends and strangers alike. Remember, trust no one!"- Amy, Thief
"As the evening progressed I could feel the psychological genius simmering, then boiling. What an amazing experience! Best game I've ever played ... and one of the most conscious and well-crafted events I've attended recently!"- Ryan, Bond Agent
Throw a party in a private Bay Area venue of your choice.
The Racket is 3 hours long and includes an introduction, 2.5 hours of gameplay, and an announcement of The Winners.
We can play in any location that could comfortably host a party of your guest list's size. For venues we haven't hosted in before, we like to arrange a walkthrough before the event in order to make sure we're well-prepared to deliver the best experience possible for your guests.
Events must be books at least three weeks in advance, however we're happy to consider shorter time periods in special circumstances.
Guests attending The Racket will receive an Identity along with basic game instructions. We also encourage Guests to visit our Screening Room and our Dressing Room for some of our favorite flicks and a style guide to help them dress their best.
Dress for The Racket is black and to kill. If you're looking for ideas, you can visit our Dressing Room and take a look at some of our favorite fashions.
