America’s largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show is now playing! Solve a hilarious mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for an event that is very different from a traditional murder mystery dinner show. Our actors are not dressed in costume and are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Each ticket includes our signature award-winning murder mystery dinner theatre show, along with a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity, and plenty of surprises during the show.

Hosting a party or private event? We specialize in custom private events for companies, groups, and organizations of almost every size! We can host your event at the Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown/ Magnificent Mile, or we can bring a show to your home, business, or venue anywhere in Chicago, IL.

I didn't know what to expect but I definitely can tell you that the experience was definitely worth the trip and time. When. It comes to parking be sure to use... an app for money saving and time, in case you decide to go around town for the night.read more

Fantastic! What a great time, the actors/facilitators were fabulous. They did a great job incorporating personal information to make the show hilarious. We... booked a private event with 25 people and they had almost everyone in the room participate in some way. I was nervous before we showed up to see what the quality of the night would be like but two days later I am still getting compliments on what a great event it was. We are still having ton of laughs reliving the night through our conversations.We were also very pleased with the food. Again, I didn’t now what to expect but I did not get any feedback other than the food was wonderful from the appetizers to desert.Thank you for a great team outing activity!!read more

Had breakfast here. Service was excellent. As for decor, it was old world style which was ok.. but not well lit, which is not to my liking. Breakfast fare was... the usual stuff. All good there.read more

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.read more
