Accomplice: Hollywood

OKay, let’s just say that by the end of the night, my cheeks felt like they were going to fall off from laughing so much.
Witty cast. Witty and quick and funny beyond belief. Especially if you have a drink heckler in the company with you celebrating …(god knows what they were celebrating… themselves? Good for them!).
Anyhow, this did not stop them, this actually made all of US, as watchers stop the heckling as we wanted to enjoy the show without weird turret syndrome shouting.
This cast of actors had us laughing so long and so hard, I recommend them for any party.

Do it! So worth it. The actors/​actresses make this experience. They are so into their roles, you can’t help getting into it as well and having a good time. There is a bit of walking so bring comfy shoes, but you do get a couple stops where you have some beer and food.

A fantastic time! But I will say – you have to go into this with an open mind and a willingness to participate and play the part. These actors are talented and prepared for any scenario, or random group of people. If you aren’t engaged, they WILL call you out and, on some occasions, embarrass you (yes, this happened to me). Be a good sport and get all you can out of it.

Such a fun day. The staff is so talented and helped create a fun vibe to the whole event. Everyone has made this comment, but the actors are sharp. So funny. As long as you aren’t overly sensitive about humor, you will enjoy them.
Without sharing too much, I do understand the NEGATIVE criticism. If you are doing this with a «bad» group (walking too fast, rude, etc.) it would be miserable. We were lucky; our group was there to have fun and play along.
SUMMER TIP: during the summer months, bring water. It was warm and I was grateful to have some Aquafina.
NERD TIP: do not be afraid to wear «sensible» shoes and wear a backpack. If you are like me, you’ll want to be as comfy as possible. One smarty in our group had a Camelbak. Yes, she was teased a bit, but she was also hydrated on a very hot day.
GROUP DYNAMIC TIP: introduce yourself to your group. You will be spending lots of time with these folks. If you’re with strangers, get to know each other a bit. Chat. It’ll make for a more entertaining time.
OVERALL: this was a fabulous way to spend the afternoon. We laughed, got a bit of exercise, and got to see some of the craziness of Hollywood. I’m a fan.

We had THEE best time today! Thank you so much for the day’s fun and the twists and turns. Your cast is phenomenal! We had the opportunity to speak to one actor at length following the adventure and were thoroughly impressed with him and his explanation of how he came to be a part of your little web of intrigue. He mentioned a possible expansion to Las Vegas. Fingers crossed!
I bought this experience as a gift for my husband. He and I are really just large children and could have fun at an insurance seminar. If you have a stick up your a$$, as some under-​reviewers clarly have, then save your money. If you can’t laugh at yourself and the world around you, don’t discourage those of us who can. Dig a hole, insert self, and let us get on with our happy lives. Sheesh!
Bravo to the actors and creators. I would (and likely will) pay to do this again and bring friends for the joy of watching the looks on their faces!

I’m a jaded film industry veteran and I must say, the entire Accomplice experience was just awesome. You really don’t know what to expect and it was great fun. We screwed up several times, but there is help if you need it, other than the embarrassment of making mistakes!
Over all, wear comfortable shoes and really expand your thoughts and minds to figure out the clues. Also, you really never know who is a part of the Accomplice team, so just assume everyone might be…

So I didn’t really know what to expect but have to admit I had a lot of fun doing AH! I thought it was really unique and the clues were just hard enough that it took some work on our part to figure it out.
The only cons I can say are that it is a little hard to coordinate speeds, etc. with total strangers as you are grouped with others. We had a large group and although everyone got along well we did have some issues with people going too fast and some people feeling left out of the clue solving. I think this could be helped by everyone in the group having the clues — they only give you a couple for the entire group.
The actors were amazing… and really added to the experience.
I would definitely recommend this as a fun unique experience to friends!

Accomplice Hollywood was AMAZING. i was expecting good things from it due to the reviews but my expectations were beyond met.
The actors were great and unpredictable. When we arrived at a certain checkpoint and received our beers… I pounded as many as I could until we had to move on. I thought that was pretty cool. We also brought about 6 bottles of soju in our girlfriend’s purses so I was pretty smashed throughout the whole show
The only downfall was that I was kind of paranoid and thought EVERYONE was part of the show. I hugged a complete stranger thinking he was an actor and one of the girls in our group got her ass felt up by a complete stranger that apparently knew about the show)
Other than that… the show was AWESOME. i would recommend this to ANYONE

My friends and I went for my birthday, and overall it was a good time. I love this kind of thing, just good cheesy fun. There were some aspects that I loved and others that disappointed me.
I loved the actors. The majority of them were very talented. Much more talented than expected. They were fun and interactive. If I were rating just on acting ability, I would give the tour 5 stars.
One bummer was that we were with another group who walked faster than we did from one point to the next so they got to try to solve the clues before we could get to them. Accomplice hollywood really needs to tell the group beforehand to be considerate of one another so that everyone gets to play equally. Otherwise, what’s the point. I realize no one can control others, but at least try to set a certain list of rules or expectations for people to follow. At times, I couldn’t even hear what was going on. Someone would read a clue from a piece of paper, and I couldn’t hear what they said, so I had no idea why we were going to the next place. I think this tour would be more fun if the entire party was YOUR friends (if your friends are respectful and inclusive).
The beer and snack added to it. I realize it wasn’t gourmet dining, but I liked having a couple pieces of mediocre pizza and salad and beers. They have bottled water for those who don’t want beer. Don’t come hungry though, or you’ll be disappointed. It’s just a snack.
Also, I agree with another Unilocaler about how you start to become very paranoid of everyone you encounter. We accused many tourists of being involved, and I even told one guy that he looked shady. Turns out he had nothing to do with it, and I just insulted a complete stranger. Lol. Oh well.
I also liked the «end point» of the event, and I plan to go back there.
The most frustrating part for me was when they left us out on a scary part of hollywood blvd without a new actor meeting us. We must have been standing there for at least 10 minutes, with a bunch of creeps and weirdos approaching us, and I didn’t feel safe at all. I don’t think a tour should jeopardize your safety, even if it is related to the plot. At one point, I literally wanted to run into the nearest restaurant to get away from the riff raff. I realize it was related to the clue, and the fact that our group wasn’t figuring out the clue very well, but it really wasn’t worth the anxiety it caused me. I can’t explain any more, but that part really annoyed me. I would have given the tour 4 stars, but that (plus, not being able to hear or get involved) is why I dropped it down to 3. I would probably give it a 3.5 if I could.
I don’t regret going, and I generally had a good time. But a few things could be improved.

Definitely my kind of Hollywood! Accomplice is something every local AND tourist will enjoy. It gets your adrenaline rushing, your fists pumping (in between a Pacquaio/​Mayweather and a Jersey Shore way), and your insert-​bleep-​here, begins with the latter «A» laughing.
We were running around Hollywood with 8 other people who we didn’t know, ran into some crazies, and drank some beer = which definitely is a recipe for disaster/​chaos/​fun!
Worth being stiletto-​less for 2 ½ hours or so, that’s for damn sure! :D

I went with my boyfriend. We were in a group of 6 I believe (so four people we didn’t know).
It was a lot of fun. Neither of us had ever done anything like this and even though we were with people we’d never met before we had a great time.
I would definitely go again with friends (even though I already know the plot).
Plus I went to Boardner’s the other day for a walking food tour, and I saw a few of the actors waiting for the next Accomplice group and me and my boyfriend giggled to each other.
I think it’s totally worth it.

Went on Saturday as a group of 15 for a friend’s birthday and had a lot of fun! The actors are tremendous and nearly unflappable in character, and the clues are just the right amount of difficulty — made for groupthink and hive memory bank but not frustrating. We loved guessing who was who and problem solving and acts kind of like a love letter to present-​day Hollywood.
At the end Accomplice started to feel like a great walking advertisement (harhar) for some Hollywood Blvd establishments but the snacks and Coronas eased that unease. Go with friends!

Best birthday present EVER, and I definitely let my boyfriend know.

SO FUN, I highly recommend it! I didn’t read Unilocal reviews before hand so I didn’t know what to expect, but this was seriously one of the most fun ways I could have spent an afternoon in Hollywood.
Highly recommended. You get beer and food along the way too. Great with a large group of friends (10 people). SO MUCH FUN… I don’t think I can emphasize that enough. And again, I didn’t have any expectations /​didn’t have any idea what to expect, so from that perspective, it was AWESOME.
Come prepared — bring your party clothes to change into after solving the mystery so you can have dinner somewhere in Hollywood and go straight to the clubs!!!

This would have been a lot more fun if we had gone with a bunch of friends. It was cool with strangers too, but you can’t control what other people are going to say and do. Another reviewer mentioned not breaking the fourth wall, and I think this is totally true.
Unfortunately, one member of our group kept talking and talking and steering the actors in different directions that completely took away from the performances. I wish she had just stayed quiet. Like, when we were told to go find something, she would respond, «why don’t you go and find it for us while we stay here. We’re tired. You’ve been sitting here in the shade drinking while we’re running around. It’s your turn.» I’m like, «uhhhhhhh, shut it.»
The producer was hilarious!!! The method actor was superb! The whole group unanimously decided this latter character was the best of all and completely amazing.
Everyone enjoyed the drinks, the food was whatever, but it was a snack. Two of the older ladies in our group gave up from all the walking and missed the ending.
It was a fun time overall.

A lot of fun! There were 4 of us, and we were matched up with 3 local guys and a couple who were in town from NYC. We were lucky with our group — we worked together, and everyone was pretty chill.
The actors were fab (especially one «method actor» — I won’t say more as I don’t want to spoil anything, but great, great job!), and the locations well-​selected. If you’re from here, you’ll visit some new places along with a couple neighborhood faves; if you’re not from here, you’ll see a few places tourists wouldn’t usually go. I personally really enjoyed hitting a couple of spots I used to hang out back when I first moved to LA.
There is a LOT of walking, so be prepared. Wear comfortable shoes, and maybe put on a little sunscreen. You will have an opportunity to drink some water and/​or beer along the way, though, so no need to haul a giant water bottle around.
Check your ego, work as a team, and get into the role. And yeah, occasionally you might screw up and think «Hey, that guy in the red jacket who’s walked by here twice MUST be part of it» and accost someone not involved in the show, but that’s kind of part of the fun.

TOTALLY fun! But I have to echo Seamus P. and advise be prepared to be running around ENGAGING in the activity. We had some spoilsport dead weights who wanted to stop, hang out, get a Starbucks, etc, and this totally ruins the energy. There are stops along the way where you can pee and get a snack (that they provide… and beer) so don’t slow the group down, and don’t lose the energy!
Actors were awesome, planning was super, and my friends and I had a BLAST!

Super fun! Unique! But make sure you know what you’re getting into.
It’s basically a live-​action role-​playing game. You are investigating a kidnapping and have to follow the trail of clues. It lasts about 3 hours. You follow clues from actor/​comedian to actor/​comedian. You are walking a lot.
I thought the actors were talented and funny. I liked the storyline. Some of the actors were really convincing. I won’t spoil the fun, but rest assured, these guys and gals are talented. The gay blogger actor was hilarious. And the… oh, I won’t spoil it.
You don’t get much information about Hollywood — in fact, you don’t get any information about Hollywood. I thought this was a tour but it isn’t.
Each group has ten customers, so we were matched up with 4 other couples. And so, if one of the other members is having a bad day, then you have to figure out a way to ignore them, which might be difficult. Some of the people in our group got crabby and oppositional with the actors, but I just ignored them.
You get some appetizers and beer along the way.
They even have a decompression session after it’s over, so you can de-​role yourself. This is an important element in any role play.
So, as long as you are aware of the details, and it sounds fun to you, then I highly recommend it. If any part of the above description sounds bad to you, then maybe you shouldn’t go. E.g., if you’re a crabby, controlling, easily-​annoyed person, then you should stay home and not bother the others who are trying to have fun.

Wow.
Loved it. I know Hlwd Bvld too well.
I didn’t need all of some clues to get to the next place.
Went for my birthday w/​friends.
It’s part Amazing Race, part scavenger hunt, and part the wackiness that is my life.
A must do if you love live theatre.
I suggest a big group of friends. This would make a great team building event for coworkers or a sales team outting.
I suggest the 4pm or last show of the night then when it’s over skip back to the snack location for dinner!
And drink as much as possible during the game for max wackiness.

Went for my cousin’s bday. She had checked the NY one over the summer and enjoyed it so much; her boyfriend suggested trying out the Hollywood. Our whole group was our entire party and we were lucky since I think we were a fun bunch. We went in the evening and the weather was fine, just bundle up since it’s winter. Basically, use your common sense, if it’s summer, wear summer clothes and DUH, wear comfy shoes.
Basically it’s like a scavenger hunt with actors and some people you think are part of Accomplice and then you realized… ummm…maybe not. ;p The whole group was our entire party and we went in the evening.
Can be a little pricey but we used the discount.
I can’t wait for the Vegas one.
