The Racket at The Academy: A Film Noir Party Game

You're invited to a killer party. Part parlor game, part rat race, fully immersive, The Racket invites guests into the opening scene of their favorite Noir film, then turns the plotting over to them. Furnished with a new profession, competitors navigate an underground party where deals are made in back rooms, black markets blossom, and everyone is competing to have the most money at the end of the night.

As the evening gets going, guests can team up with or turn the tables on other party-goers, heist a casino, start a mafia, or murder anyone who isn’t watching their back.

It's a drama with no actors, a game with (almost) no rules, a Film Noir fever dream that blurs the line between player, hero, and villain.

The dress code is black and to kill. View our full invitation and take a peak inside our dressing room for inspiration.

Doors will open at 7:00pm, and the game will start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late.
