This is not a Murder Mystery Dinner. There is a “murder” but the night is barely about it. It’s more of a improv-esque crowd work performance. There are two main actors who spend the evening calling on members of the audience to perform in their comedy show. You scan a QR code to look through “evidence” to solve the crime which is actually just a big punchline. If you want a real murder mystery experience this isn’t it.The food is honestly really rough. It’s served on paper plates, plastic cups, and ridiculously skimpy. The cake dessert was the size of my thumb. One of the three courses was grapes and pretzels in a plastic cup and the other was a tablespoon of salad. For the price you pay, it’s insanely disappointing and a rip off. Also if you want more than water, you have to pay for it at the bar where you pay for them to serve you soda from a warm two liter. The staff were the only good part.This entire thing last three looong hours and unless someone from your party paid the upcharge, your table will be ignored the entire night. There was a whole table next to me of a bachelorette party who wasn’t even spared a glance and ended up being the only table to solve their “murder”. Plus the upcharge service is nothing, a scam. It’s not a surprise they don’t want people to film this disaster. 0/10 would not recommend

The beginning mingling was confusing as the murder had not happened yet and the "acts" were forced and drawn out. A few of the audience members were heckling the actors, and while it was very annoying, the host came out and berated the entire group during a break. Her speech came across as very rude and the situation definitely could have been handled in a better manner. The food was ok, nothing great, and I've seen other reviews mentioning the green beans and plastic silverware, which are all true; it just seemed cheap. There were some funny moments and it was overall enjoyable, but at the end, for $70 a ticket I felt it was lacking and would not attend again.

i went with some friends for a birthday on March 16! We had such a great time. we didn't know what to expect but it was so much fun. the actors were great! they keep us laughing the entire time. I highly recommend going for a very entertaining night out.

Very disappointing. $70 for dinner and show. Drink was water. Food was chicken or pork. We pre-ordered pork and they ran out so my husband had to have the chicken. They ran out of potatoes by the time they got to our table. So we had chicken, salad, green beans and a roll with water and a 1/4 of a slice of cake with a tablespoon of ice cream. Since we were the last table, it took a half hour to get around to our table.

It was fun to try if you like corny. The food was not good. It was kinda pricey for paper plates and plastic ware.

The location is okay- the bathroom is a little dated. It’s nice if you’re looking for something different to do but definitely not worth the amount you pay. The food was mediocre. String beans from a can, mashed potatoes were okay and the chicken was over cooked and really dry.They’re very unorganized too when it comes bringing the food out despite setting up a ticket system. You also have to pay additionally for soda or juice to go with your $70 meal.I don’t recommend.

My family and I attended The Dinner Detective Mystery Dinner and it was fantastic! From the moment we got there it was great! They had everything organized and ready to start from the moment you entered. They even had two spots for photo opportunities. The dinner was OK. Green beans had to much salt and the dessert brownie was very hard. But it had a good taste. If your looking for interactive then this is for you! It was very interactive and it’s like everyone is part of the show. It was so fun solving the mystery. It had comical moments. I just wished they offered another script. Since I’ve already attended this one I have to wait to go back, which I will as soon as a new script comes out! Overall, it was an awesome experience and a great night!!Vegetarian options: They offered a vegetarian option for dinner, and it looked very good.Parking: They had plenty of on site parking.
