Thank you so much Nora!

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 show was much too long - needs to be reduced at by least 30 minutes. We just lost interest. The menu displayed on the website indicates (3) types of meals but when we arrived we discovered there’s a chicken, fish, vegan & vegetarian option: four different things, not (3) like the website stated. Needless to say, my husband’s meal was completely messed up. They ended up giving him a hot steak but all other food was terribly cold for the rest of us. Green beans were canned. Small portions, so my 25 yo son was still very hungry. Not a good value for the money as far as I was concerned.

Hi Cindy- Thank you for your feedback. We will work with our host venue to provide a full vegan entree description for future guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season.

The entire show was stupid. It was screeching loud. It was insulting and rude. It was not as advertised and was in fact exactly what the website promised it would not be. I wasted good money on this garbage. The age range for this event should be 8 - 15 years old. I doubt you will post my opinions.

I just saw their show at the Mohegan Manor. We had a good crowd and the participation was great! The actors were funny and the improv was funny! The buffet food was nice and I appreciate the hard working staff. They did a great job! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a $100 prize for the person who solved the murder(s) and provided the most detailed information. I'd recommend this for a fun time.

The show was funny when the act was going. The show was supposed to start at 6pm but didn't start till 6;40pm.There was a lot of down time in between acts. I believe this is when we people were supposed to talk to each other but when you come as a large party it is hard to meangle with other tables. It seemed like this was not very clear until after the last act. The chicken was over cooked and the sides were like warm. The only beverage offered was unsweetened tea and water. The decorations were from the dollar store. The Christmas trees had lights but were not lit. There were some random Christmas boxes as decorations where the food was being served. For me personally I don't believe this show was worth $60.
