WHY THE DINNER DETECTIVE IS Louisville, KY'S #1 MURDER MYSTERY EXPERIENCE

A Live, Immersive Murder Mystery Unlike Any Other

Most murder mystery dinner shows put actors on a stage in silly costumes. We do the opposite — our professional cast is hidden in the audience, turning every guest into a potential suspect. You'll tackle a challenging crime while you feast on a fantastic dinner, and the criminal is lurking somewhere in the room with you. Before the night is over, you just might find yourself as a Prime Suspect.

Dinner and a Show, All in One Ticket

Every admission includes our multi-course plated dinner, wait staff gratuity, the full interactive show, and a prize package for the Top Sleuth — no hidden fees, no surprises. Visit our FAQ page for location-specific details including parking, bar availability, and menu info, then click a show date below to see pricing and get tickets.
