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.

Chicken was dry and not seasoned carrots were hard as a brick. Dinner roll not fresh. Very noisy could not hear what was going on. Left not even knowing what the show was about. Would not return. Our party of four spent a lot of money on those tickets.

The plot was not fun. The clues were obtuse and the detectives were hard to hear. Mic them up. I wanted my food sooner as well. I am used to a more intimate mystery dinner setting with actors at our tables.
