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.

We came for my Bachelorette party
We came for my Bachelorette party. I paid the extra for my daughter to be as suspect. It was the best laugh I has in a long time.

This is so much fun! The acting is hilarious, and the interactive elements are hilarious without being too uncomfortable for shy folks. I'm going to keep an eye out for their next mystery, so I can come back again!

Lovely Birthday Dinner Experience
I had a great time here, I loved the comedy and broke when the characters got interrogated and gave the best responses. I was involved too and the cast was very kind to make sure I felt okay. The only two things that could of been a little better is not having to turn my neck so much and sometimes not seeing through people and the cast wasn’t provided microphones.

We came here for my mom's 80th birthday. The show was funny and entertaining; the staff and actors clearly enjoy what they do. The food was tasty and fresh. I look forward to coming back for the next performance! Robi Dickinson was a great host!

The BEST experience - exceeded my expectations
I was nervous having my team do this, because I *thought* they'd enjoy it, but wasn't 100% sure they would. Oh my goodness, we laughed until we cried, all of us. It was a great performance, great actors, wonderful food. The team has been raving about it ever since!

Pleasantly Surprised
This was our 1st time doing something like this and I would 100% recommend trying it out! We will definitely be going again! It was very entertaining, Having some of the actors sitting at the table with regular guests added some additional fun. The food was good and was nice you had a couple options when buying your tickets. They allowed plenty of time for you to enjoy your meal without missing any of the mystery or clues. Perfect date night activity or just a fun night out.
