I've never been to a Murder Mystery Dinner Show. How does it work?
It is a four-course sit-down dinner in which each guest is allowed to choose their own entree. In between each course of the meal, we have another part of the show. The show is an interactive and improvised comedic murder mystery set in the present day. None of our performers are dressed in costume, but instead are dressed just like everyone else; therefore you do not know who is a part of the show and who isn't.
The show takes place throughout the entire room, and performers may actually be seated at your table, so part of the fun from the beginning is trying to figure out who's involved in the crime and who's not. Throughout the night, murders and mayhem will occur, hidden clues will come forth and our Detectives will help everyone try to solve the crime. In the end, we have a prize package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime.
What does the ticket include?
Every murder mystery admission ticket includes: An interrogation reception, hors d'oeuvres, fresh rolls and butter, a mixed baby greens salad, your choice from four entrees, dessert, one glass of house wine per admission, wait staff gratuity for food service (gratuity for beverage service not included) and an intriguing prize package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime. We also have a full bar if you would like to purchase cocktails.
What does the venue look like?
We hold our public Murder Mystery Dinner Shows at the prestigious Table Mountain Inn, located in downtown Golden.
Do I have to participate in the show?
No, you do not. Customers are not required to perform in any way, but because our murder mystery performers are not dressed up in costume, the audience will not know if you are a part of the show or not and may interact with and possibly interrogate you on their own.
What is the minimum age?
Due to the interactive and somewhat unpredictable nature of our shows, the minimum age requirement is 8, and adult supervision is required. Our recommended minimum age is 10. For more information, please contact our box office at 888-575-3884.
How far in advance do I need to make reservations?
Tickets for our shows are in high demand and do sell out (sometimes a week before, sometimes the day of the show) so we encourage our guests to make reservations and buy their tickets as soon as possible.
How much is the individual ticket?
The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Show individual tickets are $55 (tax not included).
What do you serve? Entrees? Desserts?
Our entree choices are as follows: Apricot and Almond Stuffed Sirloin, Latin-Style Chicken, Oven-Roasted Sea Bass and Vegetarian Penne Pomodoro Primavera. Our dessert is Coeur ala Creme topped with strawberry grandmarnier sauce. We recognize that many of our guests have allergic or dietary restrictions, and we request that you note those restrictions when placing your order so that we may accommodate you appropriately.
Is it fun?
Yes! The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show was voted 2009 Best Dinner Theatre and 2009 Top 3 Theatre Group by Denver's 7 A-List and CityVoter.com. We do sell out every Saturday night and have received numerous rave reviews by a variety of publications. Almost all of our business is from word of mouth, so we must be doing something right! We have reviews and testimonials on our website under REVIEWS.
How does the seating work?
Everyone has assigned seats at 8 to 10 person banquet style tables. If your party is larger than 10, then we ask you to let us know how you would like us to divide up your party, or else we will divide you up evenly and seat your two parties next to each other.
How do I know if I've purchased "good" seats?
Since there is no set stage and the action happens all around you, all of our seats are center stage! Our performers make an effort to ensure all guests are equally involved and engaged in solving the crime.
What time does the show start & what time should I arrive?
Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. for check-in. The show will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.
How long is the show?
About 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Where is your venue located?
The Table Mountain Inn is located at 1310 Washington Avenue, in downtown Golden. Detailed directions are available from the hotel website.
Where do I park?
Free parking is available in the hotel's parking lot.
What is the dress code?
Business casual or dressy casual is absolutely required. No T-shirts, shorts, baseball caps or torn clothes are permissible.
What do I need to bring?
Besides your confirmation page, we will provide you with everything you will need to solve the mystery.
What is your refund/cancellation policy?
Just like any other theater or dinner show, all sales are final. Due to the limited seating capacity and our fixed costs with the venue, we are unable to refund money once reservations have been made.
Is it good for birthdays, anniversaries, dates and special occasions?
Definitely! We specialize in celebrations and special occasions. We handle about three to four birthdays per show and are always having couples join us along with families, friends, co-workers and acquaintances.
Do you produce shows for private parties?
Yes! We specialize in and produce corporate functions on a regular basis. Please contact the Dinner Detective main box office at 888-5-SLEUTH (888-575-3884) and ask for private party sales, or click here to download our private show information PDF document.
