We are headquartered in Oakland and serve the entire Bay Area. Our team is available for travel anywhere in the world.

The Racket does not have a venue of its own. Instead, we travel directly to our client’s office, home, or a private venue of their choice. We maintain a long list of preferred venues in the Bay Area and beyond and can furnish recommendations for spaces that accommodate various group sizes and budgets.

We can host at any time of the day, any day of the week. Most of our events take place in the evening or afternoon.

We need only 24 hours of advance notice and can fast-track an event to meet a close deadline. We take reservations up to 6 months in advance.

We can host events for anywhere between 15 and 250 people.

No. Players in The Racket receive a new profession that is not attached to aspects of personal identity.

The Racket was designed for adults. However, groups aged 12 and above can participate and enjoy the experience fully, and children as young as 9 can enjoy playing with some assistance.

Special accomodations are made for parents with young children to ensure that they can fully enjoy the event.

Our Hosts are happy to assist anyone arriving late, and leaving early doesn’t disrupt the game for other guests. Guests who arrive late are significatly less likely to win.

If you are booking an event, and a significant number of players need to arrive late, we might suggest delaying the start time.

No, we cannot modify the content of our experience.

The Racket boasts a significantly higher level of player engagement than many similar experiences. The game has also been designed to be flexible enough that players can slow down enough to grab a drink and catch up with a friend for a few minutes without detracting from their own experience or other players.

No. The Racket is a game of strategy and social deduction, not improvisation. Instead of a new character to play, guests get a new profession with skills they can use to their advantage.

The suggested dress is black and to kill. We encourage our guests to consult our Dressing Room for inspiration. Please note that The Racket is played on your feet, and comfortable shoes are encouraged.

However, dressing the part is not necessary for the enjoyment of the game, and we frequently host events for groups during wearing casual attire.

Clients may also rent our Costume Trunk, which includes over 100 hand-picked accessories.

Yes. Guests who have played before might have the advantage of experience but won’t know anything that ruins the game for themselves or other players.
