About The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show

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.

Fun!
It was so much fun to interact with the other people in the audience. The only negative comment I can make is that it was hard to hear the participants. I think they should wear mics.

Perverted,
We play clue as a family, nothing with questionable language or risqué or perversion, we have lots of fun. But unlike this play, it's a total opposite. Definitely not family friendly and not ethical for any Christian. We had to leave early because it felt disrespectful to basic values and common decency. I felt horrible inside, horrible for my family, and horrible before the Lord because of the indecency and mocking of wholesome God values. Even though I spent colse to 500 total we were a party of 6 × 65.00 and the food very subpar the great value to me at any expense was leaving early because of the uncleanness and filth of this play.

Not recommended
First, the website said no jeans and saw a lot of people in jeans. They weren’t turned away like the website said. The men in our party wore dress pants for this reason. To me the show was very unorganized. Had no clue what the show was about and lack of details about the “murder”. Couldn’t hear the actors, so unable to pick up on clues. Need microphones!! Have done murder mystery dinners before and I would not recommend this one.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. To clarify, our website does not prohibit jeans. The exact dress code listed reads: “Our dress code is business casual/dressy casual unless otherwise noted in the show description. Think appropriate attire for a Saturday night out on the town! Nice jeans are fine. No shorts, t-shirts, or hats are allowed.” We’re sorry for any confusion this may have caused and will review our messaging to ensure it’s as clear as possible. As for the show experience, we’re disappointed to hear that the sound and storyline weren’t up to your expectations. Our shows are designed to be interactive, with guests encouraged to piece together clues from dialogue, interactions, and evidence presented throughout the evening. That said, audibility is essential — we’ll be revisiting the audio setup at your venue to ensure all guests can hear comfortably. We appreciate your input and will use it to continue improving. Thank you again for joining us and sharing your thoughts.

The most fun we’ve had in years!!! Girlfriends took me there for my birthday, secretly added me as a suspect, even providing a pic. We laughed so much! Great show, even greater acting!

Great time
The detectives were funny and it truly felt interactive. The fact that I didn’t know who was real and who was an actor always kept me on my toes. My wife and I had a lot of fun!
