Involving everyone is the heart of the show, Carmen. Thank you!

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.

This is so much fun! The acting is hilarious, and the interactive elements are hilarious without being too uncomfortable for shy folks. I'm going to keep an eye out for their next mystery, so I can come back again!

I had a great time here, I loved the comedy and broke when the characters got interrogated and gave the best responses. I was involved too and the cast was very kind to make sure I felt okay. The only two things that could of been a little better is not having to turn my neck so much and sometimes not seeing through people and the cast wasn’t provided microphones.

Nelson, we're so glad the cast made sure you felt comfortable and that the interrogations made you laugh. Thank you for the honest notes on sight lines and sound; we'll share them with the team.

We came here for my mom's 80th birthday. The show was funny and entertaining; the staff and actors clearly enjoy what they do. The food was tasty and fresh. I look forward to coming back for the next performance! Robi Dickinson was a great host!

I was nervous having my team do this, because I *thought* they'd enjoy it, but wasn't 100% sure they would. Oh my goodness, we laughed until we cried, all of us. It was a great performance, great actors, wonderful food. The team has been raving about it ever since!

Megan, we love being the team outing everyone keeps talking about! Thank you for trusting us with your group.
Susan N.
This was our 1st time doing something like this and I would 100% recommend trying it out! We will definitely be going again! It was very entertaining, Having some of the actors sitting at the table with regular guests added some additional fun. The food was good and was nice you had a couple options when buying your tickets. They allowed plenty of time for you to enjoy your meal without missing any of the mystery or clues. Perfect date night activity or just a fun night out.
