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.

In 2020, Hunt A Killer received the honor of ranking No. 6 on Inc. Magazine’s 5000 list of fastest growing privately-held companies in the U.S., and CEO, Ryan Hogan was announced as one of Puget Sound Business Journal’s 40 under 40 honorees. To date, Hunt A Killer has shipped over two-million episodes, surpassed 100,000 subscribers, and has doubled revenue year over year without outside investors, with continued growth expected.
