Written by the company
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.

Slapstick comedy, great evening event!
Great experience from registering a group to check in. The slapstick comedy was full of surprises! Between courses, it was fun to mingle and interact with other sleuths as clues were unveiled to determine who did the crime.

Edith, what a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing — we're so glad the evening lived up to it and that the cast made it memorable. We hope to see you again soon!
The show is awesome
The show is awesome. The cast is amazing. I thought I had solved it this time and I was so off, because of how well the clues were hidden. Retrospectively the person who was the killer dropped some hints so subtly that they were easy to miss. Pay attention to all of the clues. Well worth the money

Thanks, Emilee! Glad the food and the laughs both delivered. Hope to see you at another show soon!
Huge waste of money and an evening
The price indicated a very nice meal and a well put together show. The meal was no better than school cafeteria food and the show was awful. Don't fall into the trap of paying extra to be part of the show. It's just a real big disappointment! Save your money.
