This company did well at incorporating people into the story. Mixing story telling and jokes to keep the audience guessing. I would reccomend for any gathering, function, or party.

Company details
Written by the company
The Dinner Detective is America's largest interactive true crime mystery comedy dinner show! Solve a hilarious and engaging mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The killer is hiding somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect! Our show is very different from traditional true crime mystery dinner shows. We will hide non-costumed actors in the audience that are pretending to be part of the crowd. This results in a much more social and interactive evening than with other shows. Our shows are set during the present day and take place in real time. Over the course of the night, our costumed Detectives will uncover clues, interrogate audience members that may or may not be part of the show, and help everyone get closer to solving the mystery.

HORRIBLE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
HORRIBLE. Do not waste your money. WHAT A JOKE.
Bones in the fish, horrible acting, complete waste of an evening. Total scam.

Wasn't what I expected
Wasn't what I expected. Should of read more about it. Not in to mixing comedy with crime. More into serious stuff. Food was awful. No dressing on salad nor any available. Waist of my money.
Didn't stay for the whole show. Ended up leaving early.

Loved it!
Loved it!! My teenaged grandkid was a suspect & they singled him out & put him in the hotseat. Gave him a real grilling. lol We all had a great time. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys murder mysteries.

Best time
It was great! We did a private event for our daughter’s 16th birthday. The actors were kind and very professional - so funny too! However, it’s hard to keep the attention of 16 yr old girls. They had the best time, but I should have warned the actors and company to keep it shorter and move fast, but only bc of the age range.
I’d recommend 10 out of 10 to either go to one of their scheduled shows or book for private events. We had a blast!
