Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Hosts For This Evening

The Wise Guys are Greg Snyder and Myles Nye. We chose the name “Wise Guys” not because of our vast Talmudic knowledge or our Mafia connections but because both our names have two Y's in them (Greg's full name is Gregory). Y's guys, get it?

Bay Area natives, Greg and Myles have worked together for over 10 years, starting at UCLA where we launched the university’s first comedy television show. We now hold degrees in media studies and theater arts, have produced stage shows together and separately, and have performed on stage and screen. We have been fortunate to spend the last four years organizing team-building exercises in Southern California and around the world.

When we are not creating and delivering spectacular games and providing exquisite customer service, Greg is head referee for the Los Angeles Derby Dolls and Myles performs with the improv comedy troupe ComedySportz LA. If you have to know what we're up to minute-by-minute, follow us on Twitter.

We believe in the benefits of purposeful play. We have seen the power of games throughout our variegated work experiences: leading team-building exercises, creating community oriented adventures, developing summer camp curricula for youth and family camps, designing challenges for prime time network reality TV (including CBS’s Survivor), and teaching workshops across the country. We love to laugh, we love to solve, and we love to share those pleasures and the subsequent enrichment with other people.

“I have had the honor of participating in a team-building scavenger hunt that Greg created and custom designed specifically for the LA Derby Dolls. I am honored to have been a part of something so completely innovative, unique and very, very fun!”

- Robin Rosenzweig, Los Angeles Derby Dolls
