Thanks so much Brian!

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.

The food was good. It was a little crowded at the table trying to record things on a piece of paper with your place settings drinks…in the way. The experience was a little confusing not knowing what to expect. But we all had a good laugh and a new experience. Would I do it again? No

Fun night ! Cast was great and entertaining. However, for an event of this many guest there should have been more than 1 bar tender in my opinion.

The structure was great, however, I think the ambiance should have matched the story or gave more of a mystery feel. Minimal things like paper plates, the lack of water refills, etc. Everything matters - even before you enter the room. I would have also preferred a private ball room space as opposed to an attached restaurant of the hotel covered with black curtains. Also, I didnt enjoy seeing real life through the windows - put up curtains to really sell the immersion.

The show was so much fun! Brought my mom, uncle and daughter and we laughed throughout. Very interactive, and involved the audience. Dinner was cold and okay, but show made up for it!

The Dinner Detective is a unique experience. The dinner itself was just ok, which is why I gave it a 4 out of 5. Those that I went with stated that the chicken and fish were a bit dry, but other than that it was fine. I would recommend the vegan option which is pasta with vegetables. But the entertainment is why you come anyway. The actors were hilarious and spot on with their quips. Mostly scripted with some improv and interaction with the audience. It was very fun. I would go back again. Bring friends, it is fun with a group!
