The Dinner Detective offers an immersive experience where anyone in the audience may become part of the show. The action unfolds throughout the entire room, engaging all guests. A crime occurs during the show with hidden clues revealed as the story progresses. Throughout the show, our professional Detectives guide guests in solving the case. The Top Sleuth who provides the best solution wins a prize package before the killer is revealed.

PLEASE NOTE: The performance may include prop guns, sound effects, and brief lighting blackouts to enhance the experience.

General admission tickets start at $74.95/person. Prices do not include local taxes & fees or performer gratuity. Taxes & fees will be displayed before checkout, and performer gratuity is optional and always appreciated. Pricing may change for certain in-demand dates and holidays.

We perform on weekend nights, several times a month, every month year round! We list new shows on our tickets & schedule page 8-12 weeks in advance.

Every murder mystery admission ticket includes:

Check-in starts the action and begins with your first set of instructions for the night. To make sure you don't miss anything, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the check-in start time on your confirmation page! The meal is integrated into the show breaks for an all-inclusive interactive evening.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be admitted if you arrive at the event up to 45 minutes after we start, but be prepared to wait for a break in the action to be seated! Tickets not claimed 45 minutes after event start may be subject to forfeiture without notice or refund.

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 unless otherwise noted in the show description. 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 infants, toddlers, or guests under the age of 15 are allowed to attend!

The entire show is interactive. For the very best experience, please understand that the show is interactive in nature and you may be involved! 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.

All seats are good 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, we can seat your group together! All guests will be assigned seats at up to 8-person round banquet tables (table size may change without notice dependent on booked space and size of event).

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.

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 venues and their kitchens are able to accommodate 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.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee dietary illnesses or allergies will be honored unless we are notified of those restrictions/allergies at the time 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. We can accommodate groups from 30 to 400 guests at our premier onsite locations or bring the mystery to a venue of your choice.

Yes! You may reschedule your reservation(s) to another show date with at least 7 days notice. A non-refundable $20/ticket transfer fee is required. No rescheduling is allowed less than 7 days before the show.
