Riot Games today is a global company with offices all around the world. But, no matter how much we grow, we’ll always call Los Angeles home.

That’s because LA is where Riot became, well, Riot. The city is where a small team first came up with the idea for a free-to-play MOBA that spread around the world like wildfire. It’s where a handful of Rioters began chasing an Agent-led tactical FPS that eventually became VALORANT. It’s where a pair of Rioters pitched a TV show centered around Vi and Jinx that went on to win Emmys. And it’s where thousands of Rioters work every day to develop the next evolution of our games, dream big for the future, and work together with the goal of serving players all around the world.

In addition to world-class facilities and working spaces, our LAX campus is filled with testaments to the passion of the players we serve, plenty of spaces to game from PC Bangs to arcade cabinets, and delicious meals at a variety of cafes. No matter where you are on campus, the goal is to give Rioters the fuel, creativity, and inspiration they need to deliver for players.

You can grab a coffee at our pirate-themed Bilgewater Brew coffee shop or check out the wall of our favorite RP art from over the years. Catch a League of Legends or VALORANT esports match at the Riot Games Arena or get a view of the ocean from an Arcane-themed cafe. No matter where you go, everything in our LA campus is an homage to our games, their stories, and the players who made Riot what it is today.

We’re always looking for talented Rioters to join us in West LA so check out the job board below to see if there’s a position that fits your skillset. Hopefully we will see you around!

Each building in our Los Angeles Headquarters is named after a computer key, matching the layout of keys used in-game. Here you can see D building from the street.

The main lobby in D is an ode to players. It reflects the full breadth of our IP bringing together our worlds, stories, and shared history from the moment you step inside.

The right side of the main lobby features, from left to right, a photo of the winners of the first VALORANT Game Changers Championship, the VCT trophy, VALORANT 3D weapon models, Wild Rift fan art, League’s first physical merchandise, Riftbound’s first print cards, and a giant Choncc from TFT.

The left side of the main lobby features, from left to right, VALORANT’s Wingman, VALORANT commemorative coins, Faker’s jersey, 2XKO’s Kitsune prototype, LoR’s launch card, League’s original CD case, a sign from League’s 10-year anniversary, League’s Season 2 world championship ticket and ring, and League’s Summoner’s Cup.

Move further into D and you’ll find our keyboard wall where guests can bring a key from their keyboard at home, place it on this wall, and take home the Riot-branded one in its place.

The next steps will take you to a massive statue of Annie and Tibbers—a customary photo spot for all visitors.

On your left you’ll see our RP art wall, framed submissions of art players submitted for in-game currency.

Cosplay displays, fan art, and rotating installations fill the hall as you continue further into the building.

At the end of the hallway is Bilgewater Brew, our pirate-themed coffee shop, which is always a popular destination for Rioters and visitors.

Out the doors on the quad, a VALORANT graffiti mural decorates the wall of NOMs, our on-campus cafe offering three meals a day to Rioters.

Next to NOMs is our main PC, which is usually filled with Rioters playing games, both ours and their favorites from other developers.

On the other side of campus is Y building featuring an Arcane theme. The bottom floors feature Zaun before transitioning to Piltover when you climb higher. Our lobby features the very bottom of Zaun: Silco’s laboratory.

In the Zaun floors, the Last Drop is a popular meeting space, even if Vander isn’t behind the bar.

Up on Piltover’s top floor is Mainspring Cafe, offering a sit down alternative for on-campus meals.

The outside of Mainspring Cafe features a beautiful view of West Los Angeles.

Inside the gaming room is a PC Bang and this console section where Rioters can play games with a killer view.

Across the street from our main campus is the Riot Games Arena where professional VALORANT and League of Legends teams compete in their local leagues.
