Thank you so much Billy Bob!

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.

My partner and I just attended a showing of "A Noteworthy Crime" in New Haven. It was our first Mystery Dinner theatre experience and will certainly not be our last. We found the story engaging and very humorous. The interaction of the actors with the audience kept the flow going. I particularly enjoyed having the actors embedded among the dinner guests. Every actor performed their role beautifully. I would call them all out but that would be a bit of a spoiler. They were good at being on script and also improvising based on the reaction of the regular guests. We were often interacting with other dinner guests to see who the suspects might be but that interaction was not entirely necessary (for those nervous about talking to random strangers). The actors are not shy to call on the guests though to introduce themselves or partake in other parts of the performance, so be prepared for that. I found the meal quite delightful as well. I chose the Salmon. At one point, I was a little too enthralled with the puzzle that I forgot to finish my entire dessert, oh well. Based on other reviews, we were expecting to have a great time and we did. We can't wait to see when their next script comes out!

A very fun experience for a diverse group of people who all work together. Our usual holiday parties have been at various bars and restaurants around metro Denver, which tend to be noisy and not conducive to talking to each other. This was the perfect antidote to loud bars, we were in a very nice ballroom with elegant table settings, the actors were wonderful. Everyone had a good time.
