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.

It was very amateur. And confusing. We were given "Interrogation Forms" that I think were supposed to encourage us to go ask everyone there questions. It id really work. Dinner was a "go through the line and get your food". We didn't do that. The food didn't really look all that appetizing. We left at that point. (Act I was done.) So perhaps my review isn't fair since we didn't stay.

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.
