The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show - Tampa, Florida

This is a great and fun experience.

I am here right now wishing time would speed up! You literally must be drunk in order to enjoy this! All of the drunk people are having the time of their lives, however I am very bored. They have 11 tables and 11 people are at each table😩. It seems if you do not buy your ticket(s) early, then you have one of the tables very far away from the center of the room ( tables 9,10,11) . But of course, the center of the room is where most of the “show” takes place!. So buy your tickets as soon as you decide that you want to attend one of these “shows”.
In the description, it says that there is no script! That is an understatement, it is impossible to hear what the so- called actors are saying or follow this show!! Personally, I will never waste my time or money again! Also, they claimed that someone was going to win 100$ for solving the crime, but that did not happen they actually personally chose the winners themselves , and. gave them passes to another show🙄
The food and the service is excellent though!! I believe that is courtesy of Hilton Garden Inn💕

The MC was high-handed and rude. Started the night yelling at us for being excited. $70 for horrible hospital food is a rip off.
The hammy acting was okay, but not enjoyable. When they say theater, i expect something better than my church's Christmas play.
Not worth the price at all.

Date night for our 21-year anniversary and it was very fun and entertaining. Laughs, new friends, and great food and drinks !!

The overall experience was somewhere in the middle—not particularly bad, but not especially impressive either. I will say that the food exceeded my expectations; it was flavorful and well-prepared, which added a nice touch to the evening.

However, the show itself left something to be desired. It leaned more toward improv comedy than an immersive dinner detective experience. Much of the humor felt random and disconnected from the actual storyline, which made it hard to stay engaged with the plot. While there were a few laughs, the lack of cohesion between the jokes and the mystery made it feel more like a casual skit night than a polished performance.

One suggestion I would offer is to consider reimagining the show in the style of a 1940s film noir. That classic detective atmosphere—with moody lighting, sharp dialogue, and a suspenseful tone—could really elevate the experience and bring a stronger narrative focus. Adding that vintage flair could give the show more character and help it stand out in a memorable way.

I booked the Murder Mystery Dinner for Valentine’s Day and to celebrate my husband’s bday. I was very disappointed. Food was terrible. No table service. For the price I would had expected at least some ice tea served at the tables. We left early as well as other couples, so I am assuming we were not the only ones disappointed.

Really fun time!!

We had such a fantastic time. The food was good and the show was great. I highly recommend going.

Show was good, but could be better. Chicken was dry next time I'll get the salmon

Had family in town for the weekend and was extremely disappointed with overall experience. Upon arrival to our table salads were already served at the table which is unsanitary and not safe to leave food unsupervised, plus the other courses after that were slow to come, one person in my party had selected a vegetarian choice which was unavailable, despite us reserving entrees online. There is a cash bar, though it would have been great to at least get one free drink for the price. Once the show got started is really when the disappointment begins, this seemed more like a random improv class that an actual show. Some of the actors were obviously that, there was no real mystery and there was confusion in what exactly we were supposed to do for the entire thing. A couple at our table actually just stood up and left entirely. I managed to win the whole mystery without knowing the entire plot by my sisters asking an actor and they fed them answer. For the price I definitely expected more of a play/performance rather than just people standing in the center of the room talking with no real direction. ALSO MY GIFT FOR WINNING WAS A PEN,SHOT GLASS, AND A COUPON TO COME BACK. NO!. I wouldn’t bring anyone ever to this event.

They really need to step up their game on the food !! The chicken was really dry very disappointed on it and I asked for no raspberry sauce on my cheese cake due to i am allergic to raspberries and now I am paying the price itching ugh.. they did not say it was on a raspberry sauce and you could not tell it was they need to make sure they up hear to what people check when they fill out what they want for their food !! All new all the actors were very good and the killer was at our table
