The show was great, the atmosphere was great but the food was mediocre at best and the portions were very small. If you're going just for the entertainment, you'll have a blast.

Honestly... the show was hilarious, what we could hear. My major disappointment was with the food and the room we were in. The food did not match the menu we were shown online, and even our plates didn't match when they came out even though we both ordered the same meal. I might not have been so annoyed by that if it wasn't so hot in the room 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ if not for the dinner mixup and temperature of the room, 10/10. So what I can say is, don't go for a good dinner. Go for a good time.

This was a lot of fun. I would have given it 5 stars but a birthday party group was allowed to take 1 of the seats from my group of 3 and 1 of my guests had a food allergy of tomato. DD did acknowledged that for our assigned seats but when our seats were switched they didn't switch the food allergy. We were able to inform them and were accommodated. My friend had a great time and no tomatoes were on her plate. But the performance and cast were excellent. We will be going back with a bigger group. I say go open to participate and the interview session question everyone.

Overall enjoyable experience and a good group event. Food was what you'd expect from basic hotel catering. Check in real was the best and the card did their best to keep the audience engaged. I wish there was more time to socialize with the other people there to hunt down clues. The mystery was hard! A real brain scratcher but overall fun.

Overall a pretty good experience. The food was good and the wait staff was on point. I like their communication when you bought the tickets. The actors were pretty funny, but it was pretty easy to tell who were the actors and who weren't. Parking fees absolutely outrageous (probably because I'm from Michigan and am not familiar with the ways of downtown Chicago, but still). Overall the concept is great, and this group will do well. They will continue to improve over time. My wife and I did have a good time. However for the price I paid for the entire experience, I would probably not do it again. I would recommend this as a one-time experience for friends and family.

Excellent show! Everyone played their parts so well and it was so entertaining. The food was great as well. I had just gotten married earlier in the day and my new wife and I were looking up things to do and came here on a whim and it was such a fun experience. We'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Went for my birthday with my friends and family and we had a really good time. It was a very interactive show with laughs and food as we solved the murder.
