A BIG shoutout to Myles and the team at Wise Guys Events for saving the day with my corporate event. I scheduled a last minute get together with a dozen of my teammates in southern California for some much overdue teambuilding in the midst of COVID. I had a venue (the Langham Hotel in Pasadena), but had no idea what kind of activity to do with the team. A web search led me to Wise Guys and Myles was able to schedule us on just a couple days notice. Our gamemaster (Ashby) and her assistant (Bridget) were amazing...and the Decathlon itinerary of games were super engaging. My entire team had a blast and raved about the event. Thank you Wise Guys for coming to my rescue...will definitely be calling you again. read more

See all

Milena and Erin were amazing! Our company get together was a ton of fun because of this group.

Actually talks to you like adults!!! Not condescending at all like other team building companies. The activities were fun and engaging. read more

Really friendly and funny group of people that made a Zoom party surprisingly fun and not as awkward!

Wise Guys put on an excellent virtual event for our USC department's holiday party. It was nice to see everyone's faces after working from home for so many months, and Wise Guys (Myles, Greg and Rachel) made sure that we all had a good laugh together. They even had an impromptu award ceremony for our game winners - what a surprise! Don't want to spoil all the fun, but they sure know how to get everyone engaged online. I would definitely recommend them for your next team-building get together. Thank you, Wise Guys! - Jemma read more

We had so much fun at our Holiday Party thanks to Wise Guys. We wanted to do something different than the usual and I am so glad I stumbled on this group. They brought everything that was needed, including really great energy that helped the employees get into things. I had so many people come up to me to thank me for using Wise Guys - they made me look good. We did the Minute to Win It and we were really happy with the games and the staff that put it all together for us. If you're on the fence, just book them. Our staff loved it. No complaints whatsoever. read more

In lieu of in-person team building, our company hired Wise Guys to run an afternoon game day and I couldn't be happier.

Such a fun day with Wise Guys Events! This was a corporate team-building event in a local park. We wanted something laid-back and casual, where people could have fun and enjoy the sunshine, and get to know each other. Wise Guys fully delivered, while still packing in challenging games and feel-good competition. The staff was funny, motivating and adapted to our dynamic. Will definitely recommend them to others and use them again. read more

Wise Guys ran a team building event for our company for 30 introverted people, and had us laughing, dancing, and being silly for 2 hours. Their team is fantastic, vibrant, and we all had an excellent experience! Thank you so much for the good times! read more

True Story I: When I was eight I flipped a Monopoly board over on a friend after I accused her of cheating (because she was). True Story II: Between the ages of 14-17 none of my friends would play any competitive game with me because I was too competitive and I took the "fun" out of it. I have since calmed down. I still like competition though. True Story III: I have wanted to go to a Wise Guys event for two years. Really. Look at a thread from 2008 where I get more information about an event at the Egyptian Theatre. True Story IV: Every single time there has been a public game I have been aware of I have already had plans that couldn't have been broken. At the Elvis 75th Birthday Party at the Egyptian I hear "Hi Sophia." For those out there who don't know, I'm also a LA Derby Doll Enforcer and Sophia LoRenegade is my alter ego. I look and there is Thomas Refferson, the LADD Head Ref. I knew he had a company that did team building games for companies and sometimes public events, but I don't think it was until that moment that I realized that he was half of the Wise Guys that I've been trying to play with for two years. I've wanted to go to one of their events before I had even gone to a derby game. So why was he there and why did it finally click for me? Wise Guys was (it feels like a 'were' situation but it's a single company, grrr grammar) running an Elvis-themed interactive bingo game -- KINGO. I take competition very seriously (as you have probably gleaned by this point) and I was out for blood. It was actually quite fun and I got to learn a lot about people I would have never known otherwise. I was also able to fully appreciate the extent of Elvis fanaticism. Of everyone there, only two other people (and me!) were able to fill out the entire KINGO sheet. I randomly won the drawing for the select few and not only did I win a cool gift certificate, I also won a spot for a friend and me on the next Wise Guys game. Flash forward to last Saturday. Literally the only break from the rain happened from a half hour before to a half hour after the game. The guys have pull with SOMEONE. That or the sheer awesomeness of the event changed the weather. Either way, it was just as amazing as I thought it would be. When does THAT happen? The game was Camera Assassins: Single Edition. I didn't take the tag line too seriously, and no one else seemed to either. That aside, it was a great game. Despite the wet weather, there were five or six teams of two present. We were all given cameras, assassin envelopes and ten minutes of instructions. Even though there were a lot of rules, they made sense and made the game easy to play, although far from easy. The game was split into two separate objectives: Kill or be killed and take as many photos on the scavenger hunt list as you can in two hours. So I don't want to toot my own horn...who am I kidding? My partner, the ever Yelpee Shauna D. and I killed it. My bloodlust continued from the last WG game and as everyone else hemmed and hawed, or you know, socialized at the beginning of the game, I grabbed Shauna and we hauled ass to the first area to take photos. Luckily, she is almost as competitive as I am. Although we are competitive, we're not crazy and we worked with almost all the teams at some point -- mostly because that is how the game is structured if you wanted to win. After the end of the game we all headed over to a near by restaurant for awards and drinks. I really needed to get home to my dog but I ended up staying for a full hour because the company was so great. Not everyone stayed at the restaurant, but those who did were really nice and fun to spend a rainy late afternoon with. So yea, when I really like something my reviews are haphazard. Obviously, I REALLY liked this. I am so excited to play more Wise Guys games (info describing the games on their website). I have already informed a bunch of my friends that they will be playing with me. Clockwise anyone? read more

About a month ago, I went to the Egyptian Theatre for the first time for Elvis' 75th Birthday celebration. I was supposed to bring a New York yelper with me as my plus one but plans fell through and my yelp lovely, Skylar came with. Part of the Elvis festivities included a bingo game cutely named "Kingo" organized by the Wise Guys. Skylar took the sheet and was already strategizing how she was going to win while we were stuffing our faces at the nearby food trucks. She may or may not have been fiercely competing against a 9-year-old for the grand prize. Well, she and the 9-year-old and another actually completed the Kingo sheet. One of the prizes was a pair of tickets to the next Wise Guys event, Camera Assassins: Singles Edition. This past Saturday, during a brief respite from the rain, we ran around Pan Pacific Park playing what sounded like the most complicated scavenger hunt with a twist. The twist being we were also "assassins" and were randomly assigned a target. The point of the game was to interact with others and possibly meet someone new. Hello, singles. For the pictures part, we were given a digital camera along with a sheet of 25 things we had to shoot pictures of. We could shoot no more than five pictures in five different areas of the park. However, we could use the same picture if it pertained to other things on the list. Some examples of pictures we had to take included "fictional TV family," YMCA, people doing the Wave, music album cover, a panel from the Sunday comics, double dutch jump rope, etc. Skylar and I are both competitive and needless to say, we won and not only did we win that part of the game, we finished it before anyone else. The other part, we also were able to "kill" our targets. I had to "kill" my target by getting a picture of their mid drift. Fortunately, one of the items we had to take pictures of was an outie belly button. I approached my target and asked if he had one. He didn't but I convinced him to create a fake one and when I snapped a picture, I crazily yelled, "BOOYAH, you're dead." He never forgave me and whoops, there goes my chance to talk to a cute stranger. Later, I was "killed" in the most ignoble way. I knew someone was gunning for me by trying to get me to do a thumb's up sign. Any time I had my thumb somewhat up (poised over the camera, pushing the button on a pen), Skylar would snap it back down. Eventually, I was killed with a kiss. When an assassin has multiple kills, they can use another weapon, giving the game another twist. In any case, we were given free booze for our win and tickets to the next game. Find Skylar and I at the Clockwise event. Yet another clever event to come. I'm pretty sure we're going to win. BOOYAH, you're dead! read more

My team just completed a Wise Guys event and it was so much crazy fun! It was Camera Assassins; a scavenger hunt with a twist. Firstly, another event company cancelled at the last minute and I had to scramble to find another company. Wise Guys jumped right in and helped me out. Phew! My attendees had no idea this was last minute. They really enjoyed it. During our lunch the following day we showed the pictures and everyone just laughed and relived the event. Dash was our leader and he was terrific. Thank you so much for making me look good. read more

They really spiced up our staff retreat. I got a good work out, a shit ton of laughs, and I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures! Great job, love the pencils, and the energy! read more

Wise Guys did an amazing job for our annual awards event of 700 people at the Disney Hotel. They worked with us to customize the program to ensure everyone felt engaged (which is challenging with so many people), and had fun! Miles and his team are top notch professionals and I highly recommend for any fun team building event you may have. Everything was smooth and super easy and for the 1st time I was actually able to sit back and enjoy the event! read more

Wise Guys has helped us several times at retreats with our students. They have created games for our large group so that people could get to know each other and build camaraderie. I'm grateful to them for bringing their energy and expertise to the learning spaces and creating fun (and friendly competition) for 125 college students. I've had 3 interactions with the group in 3 years. All good! Thank you. Keep doing what you're doing. read more

The Wise Guys kicked off Indiecade Festival this year and it was super fun! I've never been to Indiecade before, let alone virtually, so I was pretty nervous, but they were incredibly friendly and created a really great environment for (most of us) strangers to interact with each other in and get to know each other! I would definitely recommend them and would love to go to more events that they organize in the future! read more

Wise Guys hosted a company dinner I went to over the summer, and it was such a great night of entertainment! I can't remember the host's name, but he was such a unique and entertaining character. They put on a scavenger hunt that encompassed the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theater, etc. When we returned we watched footage of ourselves during the scavenger hunt and then competed in small group activities. I had a ton of fun that night. I would be very excited to go to any Wise Guys event in the future. read more
