It was funny and interactive.

The Dinner Detective is America's largest interactive true crime mystery comedy dinner show! Solve a hilarious and engaging mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The killer is hiding somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect!Our show is very different from traditional true crime mystery dinner shows. We will hide non-costumed actors in the audience that are pretending to be part of the crowd. This results in a much more social and interactive evening than with other shows. Our shows are set during the present day and take place in real time. Over the course of the night, our costumed Detectives will uncover clues, interrogate audience members that may or may not be part of the show, and help everyone get closer to solving the mystery.

Went with my wife on a Saturday and the show started right at 7 so we were not sitting around waiting. The actors walked between tables the whole time and at one point they pulled my brother-in-law up front as a suspect, which had the room cracking up. Dinner was chicken with mashed potatoes, nothing fancy but it came out hot and the servers kept the drinks filled. We stayed after to take pictures with the cast and nobody rushed us out.

The evening was really funny and interacted well. The food was okay and the mystery was a little tough to solve with all the red her rings. But it was a great evening!

Of all the murder mystery dinner shows I've seen, this was absolutely the worst. Almost half of the people didn't get to eat until 8:30pm. The actors kept saying the same thing! I forgot the clue!?!? The tea was horrible and I felt guilty because I was one of the people that got to eat on time.

I liked the organization and flow of the evening. Adequate breaks were given. The food options were good and the service and location were fine. The interaction with the audience was good. The plot was a little too complex for most people to follow. The acting was so-so but got better as the evening progressed. What I took offense of was the last statement given to us (ie. "Get the F--- out of here") - that left a bad impression with everyone at our table. Not a good way to end the evening, even though it was meant as a joke, it was in bad taste.
