The Dinner Detective is an experience unlike any other! We offer an amazing murder mystery show paired with a fantastic four-course plated dinner. From the very beginning, we will hide actors in the audience that are not dressed in costume. Anyone in the room can end up being part of the show, including YOU! If you have any questions about The Dinner Detective that aren’t answered below, please contact us!
Location & Menu Info
The Dinner Detective is very uniquely different from traditional murder mystery dinner theater! Anyone in the room can end up being a part of the show, and the action happens throughout the entire room. Throughout the night, a crime will occur, hidden clues will be revealed, and our Detectives will help everyone try to crack the case. In the end, we have a Prize Package awaiting the Top Sleuth who provides the best answer before the killer is unmasked! PLEASE NOTE: Prop guns, loud simulated gunshots, and short lighting blackouts are used as part of the performance!
General admission tickets start at $69.99/person + service fees. Due to peak demand, pricing may change during select holidays and the month of December.
We perform Saturday nights, 2-3 times a month, every month year round! Most shows run 6:00 – 9:00 PM, but please check your chosen show page for details. We list new shows on our calendar page 8 weeks in advance.
Every murder mystery admission ticket includes: An interactive murder mystery comedy show, fantastic satisfying dinner, wait staff gratuity (beverage service and performer gratuity not included), and a tantalizing Prize Package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime.

Unlike other traditional murder mystery shows, our show does not have a theme or time period, and our performers are not in costume! Unlike traditional murder mystery dinner shows, we do not set our shows in the Old West, on Pirate Island, or in the 1800’s. All of our stories are set in the present day, take place in real time, and all of our performers are dressed just like everyone else!
Our dress code is business casual/dressy casual. Think appropriate attire for a Saturday night out on the town! Nice jeans are fine. No shorts, t-shirts, or hats are allowed. Guests not adhering to this dress code will be turned away at the door, so plan ahead!
Please bring your confirmation page and a valid photo ID to gain admission to the show.
We have a strict age limit of 15 years old. The Dinner Detective is a show geared toward adults so you’ll want to find a sitter! No one under the age of 15 is permitted and adult supervision is required for anyone under 18. Infants and toddlers are included in the age limit and are NOT permitted.
The entire show is interactive. For the very best experience, understanding that the show is interactive in nature and you may be involved in some small way will only enhance your night! So our guests are encouraged to participate (it’s way more fun that way!), but it is not required! However, since our actors are hidden in the audience, other audience members may interact with and interrogate you on their own
There are no bad seats, since the show takes place all around you! Our actors are seated all around the room, possibly at your table. We also ensure each table gets to see every clue and witness every important scene, so all guests have an equal chance to solve the mystery!
Yes! The Suspect Package is a great way to get your party directly involved in the mystery! This optional package lets you SECRETLY frame one member of your party without their knowledge. Because our performers are not dressed up in costume, we will use your guest as a red herring to frame them as a prime suspect in the case. The package (available one per party, per table) is $19.95+service fees and has very limited availability. If the package is not sold out for your desired show date, it will be available to be added at the beginning of your order.
Yes! We host dozens of special groups and events each year, including wedding anniversaries, marriage proposals (100% acceptance rate and counting!), private work events, and so much more.
Yes, we can seat your group together! All guests will be assigned seats at maximum 10-person round banquet tables. If you have multiple parties making separate reservations, please ask your party members to mention the last name of your original party in the Party Seating Request section during the order process. If your group is larger than 10, we will do our best to split the group equally and seat you at adjacent tables unless otherwise instructed. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee seating requests will be honored unless we are notified of those requests at the time of your order!
Yes! Our venue and their kitchens are able to accommodate most allergies and illnesses, such as gluten free, vegan, etc. We request that you note any allergies or illnesses when placing your order so that we may accommodate you for your salad, entree and dessert courses.
