Company details
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.

The actors are great
The actors were great! Very fun event with friends and family. My 18 year old loved strategizing “who done it”. However, the food was absolutely terrible. It was frozen chicken that was reheated with watery pasta on a plate with mushrooms and canned vegetables. Eat before you go or try a different venue. It was $83 for terrible food.
