You walk into the Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel and it feels like any other weekend downtown. There is a low buzz of conversation, clinking glasses, and couples finding their seats. Suddenly, a guest asks a curious question, and dinner becomes an investigation.<\/p>\n
This is Salt Lake City\u2019s most unpredictable interactive dinner show; you are not just watching it. You are in it<\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t Salt Lake City offers plenty of options for a night out. For example, you can see Broadway tours at the Eccles Theater<\/a>, catch stand up at Wiseguys Comedy<\/a>, wander the downtown gallery stroll<\/a>, or hear live music at The Depot<\/a>. However, most of those nights put you in a seat. Here, the experience pulls you into the middle of the action.<\/p> Our show works differently. Because our actors do not wear costumes and do not perform on a stage, they sit among you and chat as if they are fellow guests. As a result, they plant ideas and create doubt. That friendly couple sharing theories might be suspects. Perhaps the person who swears they saw something is part of the cast. Before long, you might be a suspect too.<\/p> From the opening interrogation reception onward, the entire room becomes the crime scene. Clues appear between courses, alibis wobble, and conversations turn into spirited debates. Meanwhile, you trade notes with your table and with people you just met. It is social, funny, and surprisingly competitive. If you want a quick overview of how the evening flows, take a look at what to expect<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Your ticket includes a full three course meal served at natural breaks in the show. Consequently, you are never cutting into an entree while you are missing a clue.<\/p> You start with a house salad and finish with a chef\u2019s choice dessert. Guests regularly tell us the food is better than they expected from a dinner show. In addition, a full bar is available for drinks which are separate from your ticket. Wait staff gratuity is included.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t You will swap theories, form alliances, and create inside jokes with people you just met. As a result, many groups leave with new friends.<\/p> There is no stage to stare at and no costumes to tip you off. With actors hiding in plain sight, you have to stay sharp. Therefore every audience changes the story at this interactive dinner show in downtown Salt Lake City.<\/p> We award a Top Sleuth prize for the best solve. Although plenty of people try, most do not get it exactly right which makes the reveal even more fun.<\/p> Date nights, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and corporate team building<\/a> all work here. Private shows for 30 to 400 guests are available at the Sheraton or at your venue. For extra fun, the Suspect Package lets you secretly frame someone in your group and it is a hit for birthdays.<\/p> Beginning in January, we are downtown at the Sheraton Salt Lake City Hotel<\/a> at 150 West 500 South<\/a>. Until then, shows take place at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center<\/a> on South West Temple. Before and after the show, consider Franklin Ave Cocktails and Kitchen<\/a> or explore nightlife ideas from Visit Salt Lake<\/a>. Park once and make a full evening of it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Pricing<\/b>: Tickets typically range from $74.95 to $84.95, depending on date and availability. Your ticket includes the show, a three-course dinner, and wait staff gratuity. It is a great value for about two and a half hours of entertainment plus a quality meal in downtown SLC. See current dates and pricing on our showtimes page<\/a>.<\/p><\/li><\/ul> \u00a0<\/p> Check in 10 to 15 minutes early. Grab a drink and start people watching. You will immediately begin guessing who looks suspicious.<\/p> The interrogation-style reception warms up the room and the case. You will meet colorful guests who might be more than they seem.<\/p> Clues drop between courses. Suspects crack under pressure. You compare notes with your table and often with other tables too.<\/p> The twists land, the killer is unmasked, and you find out how close you were. The Top Sleuth walks away with bragging rights and a prize.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t We average 4.7 stars across more than 500+ reviews. Guests describe the show as immensely entertaining and quite challenging. One review from a police officer simply said it was amazing to experience from the other side. People do not write that many positive reviews for something that is just fine. They write them when a night out surprises them in a great way.<\/p> That is what keeps this interactive dinner show on so many must do lists in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \u00a0<\/p>\n Performances through December are at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center<\/a> on South West Temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sheraton offers on-site parking for a fee. Downtown street and garage options are also available. Please check the hotel website for the latest rates and details. The Hilton also has parking options available for shows before January.<\/p>\n No. Your confirmation reflects the correct venue for your date. We will also send a reminder with the address.<\/p>\n The tone is comedic and fast-paced. There are brief sound effects, prop guns, and short blackouts. The minimum age is 15.<\/p>\n Yes. We can accommodate many needs, including gluten-free and vegan requests. Please let us know at least four days before your show. See details on what to expect<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t We create custom mysteries for private events and\u00a0<\/a>team-building<\/a> activities for groups of<\/span>\u00a030 to 400. We can host at the Sheraton or bring the show to your venue. If you want a memorable gift, explore our gift certificates<\/a>.

Think symphony nights at Abravanel Hall<\/a>, local breweries and distilleries listed by Visit Salt Lake<\/a>, live music, escape rooms, and arcade bars. We add something you do not see everywhere. A night that invites you to play, connect, and be part of the story at an interactive dinner show you will talk about for days.<\/p>\n If you want an evening where you will not just watch a performance but live inside it, come join us. Just do not be surprised when everyone at your table thinks you did it.<\/p>\n Performances occur at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center<\/a> on South West Temple. Tickets start at $74.95 and include a full three-course dinner, the interactive show, wait staff gratuity, and the chance to win prizes. Ages 15 and up.
