Hire themed murder mysteries
in San Francisco.
Two-hour interactive murder mysteries hosted by professional improv actors, themed to your company or industry. Best for groups of 15–60.
Bay Area team building splits across three buyers — South Bay tech HQs (Apple, Google, Nvidia, Adobe, Cisco) that want polished outdoor or onsite-campus formats, SF startups and agencies running offsites in SoMa and Hayes Valley, and East Bay corporate teams in Oakland and Berkeley that want grounded creative-corridor experiences. We host outdoor scavenger hunts through the Embarcadero, Golden Gate Park, and around Levi's Stadium, custom murder mysteries at private SF and Palo Alto venues, and game shows for all-hands at the Computer History Museum and Tech Interactive. Working improv performers as hosts, multilingual options available, briefed on your culture before showing up. 100% W-2, AB-5 compliant.
Common settings: Palace of Fine Arts adjacencies, Nob Hill historic hotels, and Computer History Museum buyouts for tech-skewing corporate teams.
Showcraft serves San Francisco and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event.

We staff exhibitor booths and lead-capture for Moscone trade shows, sponsor zones at Chase Center and Oracle Park, brand activations in SoMa, the Mission, and Hayes Valley, and registration crews for corporate offsites at the SF Marriott Marquis and Hilton Union Square.

Questions San Francisco buyers ask about themed murder mysteries.
Where do you run themed murder mysteries in San Francisco?+
Your venue, your office, or a partner venue in San Jose & the Bay Area. 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 San Francisco venues if you need help sourcing one.
What's the right team size for a San Francisco 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 San Francisco group of 30-50 the format is at its peak — every guest gets cast interaction.
Are the actors in your San Francisco murder mysteries real performers?+
Yes. Showcraft's murder mystery casts in San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco group.
