Founded in 2016 by Derrick Smith and Ryan Hogan as a live event, Hunt A Killer is the intersection of story, game and collaboration. Through countless iterations, Hunt A Killer transformed into a subscription-based experience delivering monthly serialized episodes directly to front doorsteps. Today, we are fully diversified across multiple sales channels including Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), online wholesale, brick and mortar, and licensing.

Hunt A Killer started as a single event, blending the concepts of escape room, interactive theater and live entertainment by immersing participants in a 200-acre living crime scene. From that first foray into entertainment we learned invaluable lessons, including how to truly immerse our audience in our experiences and the importance of learning from our audience. Hunt A Killer pivoted in October 2016 and launched our flagship monthly subscription box to 56 subscribers. Hunt A Killer has continued to learn and grow, evolving its products and distribution model to double our business year-over-year. Today we ship 150,000 episodic and complete mystery game boxes direct to consumers each month and sell purpose-built games through retail channels. In 2019, Hunt A Killer was named one of Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies, and in 2020, we placed 6th in the INC 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies.

Hunt A Killer is now working on additional ways to distribute its revolutionary content including licensing and digital channels, so that even more people can experience our stories. With this in mind and a course set for the horizon, we continue building a diverse team of creative decision-makers because together, we can do anything!
