Will Roberts has worn a lot of hats in life —cowboy hats, Hollywood hats, even Guinness World Record hats—and they’ve all taught him one thing: whether you’re roping cattle, performing under the big top, or tackling modern business challenges, the rules of success don’t change. They’re rooted in focus, resilience, and good ol’ cowboy grit.
- Pull Your Hat Down: It’s more than a gesture—it’s a mindset. It says, “I’m ready to take on whatever’s coming.” Learn about Will’s first day on the set of Oppenheimer with Christopher Nolan, and hear ways to trust your preparation and how to face your own daily challenges with focus and grit when the pressure is on.
- Get Back On: From literally getting “bucked off” early on, Will shares ways to get back up after setbacks. He shares proven ideas around innovation/change that can help you get back on and achieve more individually and as a team.
- Win the Race You’re In: Learn to keep yourself accountable, level-up, learn new skills and perform at your peak in your current role! Be inspired from Will’s winding road to Cirque du Soleil and breaking world-records. Now, take action!
- Roping in Efficiency (illustrated with trick-roping and/or gunslinging): Precision, Timing, Resourcefulness, and Closing the Loop - Cowboy principles to implement today for your modern challenges.
The lessons Will has learned as a cowboy are the ones that stick. They’ve guided him through failures, successes, and everything in between. Cowboy success isn’t about being flashy or perfect. It’s about doing the work, staying resilient, and running your race with integrity. Pull your hat down when things get tough. Get back on when you fall off. And never stop running the race you’re in. ...less

Hosted by renowned cowboy & actor Will Roberts | Scalable for 50–150 + guests
OVERVIEW: Wild West Murder Mysteries™ is a premium, cinematic team-building experience designed for corporate events, retreats, and leadership gatherings that want engagement—not passive entertainment. Guests are immersed in a living Old West environment where storytelling, competition, collaboration, and decision-making drive the entire evening. This is not dinner theater. Participants are active players inside the story.
HOW THE EXPERIENCE UNFOLDS: Guests arrive to a fully themed Wild West environment. Professional Cow Folk roam the room performing authentic frontier skills including trick roping, gun spinning, and whip artistry. Midway through the evening, a barroom brawl erupts, a gunfight breaks out, and a cowboy is shot—triggering a live murder mystery. Teams (“Posses”) must gather clues, interpret motives, and collaborate to solve the crime before the final reveal.
CUSTOMIZATION & TEAM STRUCTURE: Each event is custom-written for the client. Prior to the event, attendees complete a short intake that allows company culture, values, internal dynamics, and objectives to be woven directly into the storyline. Teams are strategically assigned in advance to encourage cross-department collaboration and leadership engagement.
FRONTIER CHALLENGES & CLUE GATHERING: Interactive frontier stations surround the room in a horseshoe-style layout. Challenges may include fast-draw reaction contests, roping skills, mechanical bull rides, leathercraft activities, and photo-based clue discovery (based on the level of budget available for props). Teams earn clues and strategic advantages through participation—success is rewarded, but all engagement is valued.
WHY IT WORKS: Wild West Murder Mysteries™ naturally builds communication, leadership, problem-solving, trust, and adaptability. Teams must share intelligence, make decisions under pressure, and adjust strategies as new information emerges. The result is a high-energy shared experience that strengthens relationships and leaves a lasting impression.
IDEAL FOR: Corporate retreats • Leadership summits • Sales kickoffs • Client appreciation events • Company milestone celebrations
HOST & PRODUCTION: Hosted by Will Roberts—renowned cowboy, actor, and live-performance specialist—supported by a trained ensemble of professional Cow Folk performers. Fully produced, scalable, and designed for premium corporate audiences. ...less
