Hire outdoor scavenger hunts
in Santa Monica.

Custom-themed outdoor hunts at iconic venues across all 11 metros — Venice Beach, Central Park, Millennium Park, Discovery Green, Wynwood, the Embarcadero, and more. Custom challenges, custom scoring, and a host who keeps the energy.

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 routes: Hollywood Walk of Fame to the TCL Chinese, the Grove + Farmers Market, Venice Boardwalk + Abbot Kinney, and DTLA's Arts District + Grand Central Market.

Showcraft serves Santa Monica and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Santa Monica is the Westside's beach-meets-tech anchor — Silicon Beach offsites for Snap, Activision, and Riot Games, Third Street Promenade retail activations, and Pier-front festival sampling all share the same dispatch. We staff brand ambassadors and demo teams for tech product launches along the Olympic and Colorado corridors, beachside activations at the Annenberg Community Beach House and Pier, lead-capture and registration for corporate offsites at Loews and the Fairmont Miramar, and family-day production at Tongva Park. Our Santa Monica roster is built for the beach-day operational reality — uniform options for marine layer chill or coastal sun, captain-led shade rotations, and bilingual EN/ES talent for the broader LA Westside audience. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

FAQ · OUTDOOR SCAVENGER HUNTS in SANTA MONICA

Questions Santa Monica buyers ask about outdoor scavenger hunts.

Can Santa Monica groups do a scavenger hunt indoors or outdoors?+

Both. Outdoor hunts run in Santa Monica's walkable neighborhoods and parks across Los Angeles; indoor and venue-based hunts work for offsites, conferences, and weather-sensitive bookings. We custom-build the route and challenges around your venue and your team's mobility needs.

What's the right team size for a Santa Monica scavenger hunt?+

We run hunts from 20-250 participants in Santa Monica, split into competing teams of 4-8. Below 20 the format gets thin; above 250 we add additional hosts and recommend a parallel format. We'll right-size hosts and challenge density once we know your group size and time window.

Do you handle the logistics — app, props, hosts, scoring — for Santa Monica hunts?+

Yes — end-to-end. App-based challenges (we build them custom), props delivered to your venue or kickoff point in Santa Monica, professional host(s) running the show, live scoring, and a closing ceremony with prizes. You show up with your team; we handle everything else.

How customized is a Showcraft scavenger hunt for a Santa Monica group?+

Fully. Challenges are themed to your company, inside jokes, values, or industry. Routes are mapped to your venue in Santa Monica and your team's preferred neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Hosts are briefed on your team's names and personalities before kickoff. Send a brief 2-3 weeks out for the cleanest custom build.
