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 an interactive experience. The killer could be sitting at your table. We enjoyed it immensely and would love to be a part of another performance.

Our experience was exceptional! We were hosting a retreat with around 100 people, and this was the perfect entertainment. The actors were amazing, and the end was a huge surprise. There was so many compliments from our team members whom had never had this experience and even from those who had stating it was better than other mystery dinners. Cannot thank Dinner Detective enough! Fun, fun, fun had by all!

Great cast and crew. They were super helpful and accommodating. The guests really enjoyed the event! The only constructive criticism was that 160 people were too many. Next time we'd prob cap it at 100 to keep more intimacy.

Lead detective did a great job. The chosen people in the room played along well... It just drug on too long. Too much down time between acts.

Two weeks later and still talking about it — that's the best review we could ask for! Thanks for bringing your young detective along.

I am a 100% Disabled Retired Veteran and was visiting my mother on the East Coast from Las Vegas and wanted to treat her to something fun, I figured this show would be a good solution. The day after I arrived I felt very ill, went to the ER and was diagnosed with Covid-19 in which a few days later my mother got it as well. I contacted The Dinner Detective a few days before the show with proof of the diagnosis from the ER and information. I requested a credit and/or refund under special circumstances and was denied and charged the full amount for both me and my mothers tickets in which we both were quarantined with Covid-19. I would never recommend this show/company to anyone based on how I was treated. Completely DISGUSTED and recommend staying far away from this show and company if they treat people like this. There should be special circumstances under certain conditions like this to take care of their customers should emergencies like this happen.
