Actors were awesome. The room was soooo hot very uncomfortable hard to follow along when you are feeling that way. Clues had to be seen on phone one women couldn't get online and no staff could help her so they left. They did not say in email we would need phone ours wasn't charged up. Parking was a nightmare no clear instructions given most of us parked in another garage and paid 15. Food was so so for the price and choosing what we wanted I did not expect buffet kind of let down. They ran out of the desert we wanted.

Showed up excited for a fun night on my anniversary, to find out they were cash bar only (had no cash of course), had no thermoregulation in the room (slowly pealed layers of clothing off as everyone fanned themselves), and had to listen to vulgar comments from the actors about “getting head” during an autopsy. Food was also very overcooked. Would not recommend.

Do not recommend. The show was 2 actors calling on people in the audience and asking about their lives. They also had a cash bar that was never mentioned and the hotel had no atm. Terrible show.. do not waste your money.

The food was horrible. The wine selection was equally awful.
The mystery was confusing and walking around with no direction was awkward and boring.

Definitely not for shy people. It was fun collaborating with others at our table but it was very confusing. Reports on the qr code didn't match what was going on. The dinner show guests had some great code names.

My husband took me for my birthday on 12/02/2023. It was $60 dollars a person. So I was expecting really good food. We got to Hilton and we paid $25 dollars to park for 2 hours. We got to the dinner and went to get a drink. The miller lite was 7.50 and a can of coke 7.00. So I stayed with water. The salad was really good but small. The rolls and butter was the best part of the food. We got an appetizer. It was a small egg roll and a 1 pot sticker. We both ordered chicken. They brought out 2 pieces of chicken with no flavor. I’m pretty sure they served rice-a-roni and 2 pieces of Broccoli. Worst money we spent. The server’s never smiled and we didn’t stay til the end.

Parking: It cost 25 dollars to park. It took us 25 minutes to move though the parking garage

I should have known something was awry when the dress code was so laxed. There were no mics, so there was a lot of yelling. There was slapstick comedy that wasn't good. The costumes..... oh there were no costumes, mood music/lighting to set the scenes? None of that either. The food was OK, the drinks were very light. I had great company in my wife and new and old friends so we made it work. Don't waste your money if you are looking for a professional experience.

We had a lot of fun doing this. We had a couple of the actors at our table and we suspected them kind of early but weren’t sure until later. Drinks at the cash bar were a little pricey but it’s a show. I expect it to be. Overall the show was fun and entertaining. Would do this again now that I know what to expect. Highly recommend.

I recently attended The Dinner Detective Murder Dinner Show and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The event was quite confusing, making it challenging to fully immerse myself in the interactive murder mystery. Moreover, the audio quality was subpar, and I often struggled to hear the actors' dialogue, which made it even harder to follow the clues and solve the mystery.On the culinary front, I must express my disappointment with the chicken dish provided. It was disappointingly bland and lacked seasoning, especially a much-needed sprinkle of salt. The lackluster flavor diminished the overall enjoyment of the meal.In terms of the beverage selection, I found the drinks to be overpriced. While I understand that event venues often have higher prices, the discrepancy between the quality and the cost was significant. It would have been more satisfactory if the pricing were more reasonable.Additionally, the parking fee of $20 was excessive and seemed disproportionate to the overall experience offered. It would be beneficial if the venue reconsidered the parking charges to make it more reasonable and accessible for patrons.In summary, The Dinner Detective Murder Dinner Show fell short of my expectations. The confusion, audio issues, flavorless chicken dish, overpriced drinks, and expensive parking collectively diminished the overall experience. I hope that the organizers take this feedback constructively to improve future events.

Parking: The Hilton parking fee of $20 was excessive and seemed disproportionate to the overall experience offered. It would be beneficial if the venue reconsidered the parking charges to make it more reasonable and accessible for patrons.

Such a fun night! Great for a date night. The way they integrate the food service with the show is so well executed. The actors are hilarious. And the food was better than I was expecting. It was fun to engage with the others at our table. A truly unqiue experience if you are willing to be interactive and play along! Highly recommended.

Food was horrible. Acting was painful. It was not worth 80$ or 3 hrs of your life. Save yourself and your loved ones from having to go through this.

Horrible food and not entertaining! Also left out a trigger warning for suicide in their warnings for the show. I would not recommend this. It's just an extra buck in someone's pocket that puts little care into their show for the customers.

We had so much fun! Food was great. Would definitely go again!
