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.

A+ for effort and energy. Many of the actors show promise if they continue to develop. SOUND SYSTEM!! OMG! Severely detracts from the success of their production. Do they have a director or technical staff available? Two speakers @ the front, which may serve the couple front tables sufficiently, BUT the EQ is lacking highs (sibilance). Only midrange and a bit of lows. Plus they need to learn pacing and enunciation. Many lines totally lost due to this problem. The main-announcer @ start of the show. Slow down girl, and ENUNCIATE! Food was mostly good, the dessert fabulous! Wait staff had to be told repeatedly to do simple overlooked things like bring silverware or serve one or two which waited nearly 10 minutes while everyone else @ the table had been served.
