Ryan launched Hunt A Killer with his childhood friend, Derrick Smith by creating a live event in 2016 where they transformed a 200-acre campground into a life-like crime scene, asking attendees to solve the mystery. Expanding this idea, they worked with a team of world-class writers, editors, game designers, and graphic artists to create their Hunt A Killer subscription boxes. Since 2016, Hunt A Killer has continued to expand its portfolio of games, both with subscription boxes and all-in-one experiences, positioning players as detectives solving cases revolving around sci-fi, horror and mystery.
