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.

Gentlemen, I attended this Dinner Detective event last night (Oct 10) and it was not a very good experience. To begin with we were a party of 12, Ten people from the group were seated together and I, along with my companion were placed at a different table. We specific requested that if you would not create a table for 12 (other than just 10), to break us up into two groups of six so we could sit with friends, which did not happen. Im a pretty social guy and probably would have accepted the situation had it not been for the fact that the other 8 at the table were all friends (They were a total group of 16 who were broken up into two groups of 8). The others at the table were gracious, but since we were not .in their group were not included in much of the conversations (Some thought we were planted by the event organizers). Additionally, as part of the menu hors devours were to be included, they were not. Bottom line, as a result of not being seated with our friends and left at a table where we didn't fit in , microphone problems which made it difficult to hear and some issues with the food, I would like a full refund of our 2 tickets. This was a very negative experience. Gary M Schnabolk (Order number 82829143)

The food was inedible, the performance wasn’t much better. If this was a restaurant I would have walked out, left the show so I could go home to have dinner. Very disappointing to pay $100.00 a person and leave without eating.
