Thanks so much for joining us!

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.

Date night for Valentine’s Day! It was our first time attending a Dinner Detective. The storyline of the mystery was great. The actors were entertaining. We even had the chance to participate and help reenact the murder scene. Good food. I would recommend Dinner Detective to anyone looking for something different!!

Had a great time but the banter from the two cops went on too long and there were too many parts that I and many others couldn’t hear because they were too far away. I’m not sure why some small microphones couldn’t have been used. The other part that kind of killed the experience was that we were heavily encouraged all night to get detailed in writing who we thought was the killer and all of the clues/details that backed up our claim. And at the end they collected everyone’s papers but they came back with winners way too quickly for anyone to believe that they actually read all of the papers. There were over 50 people there & we’re supposed to believe that all the papers were ready within 10-15 minutes? It felt rushed. We had someone at our table who listed every last clue & detail that was later revealed…but they won nothing. We understood that someone might have written more detail but the fact that it was clear that they didn’t read all of the papers left a bad impression.

Hi Alina! Thank you for your feedback! Our teams do read through every single answer form that we receive, in detail. The Top Sleuth is determined not only by who gets the correct answer, but also by who gets the most correct details. We often get correct answers with very good details, but if another answer has more correct details and clue connections, that will determine who is our Top Sleuth. Thanks so much for joining us, and we hope you have a wonderful week!
