Performer Showing Dramatic Expression at Dinner Detective

Not Your Typical Murder Mystery Show

Not all murder mystery dinner shows are created equal—and that's a good thing! Traditional mystery shows often lean on stereotypes: old-fashioned costumes, quirky accents, and predictable character archetypes. Think about the classics like Murder on the Orient Express or the cult favorite Clue—fun, yes, but you already know who's who and can spot the murderer a mile away.

What if I told you there is one True Crime Mystery Dinner Show with a unique twist on the entire take of the Murder Mystery Genre, and it's been running successfully since 2004? The Dinner Detective True Crime Mystery Dinner Show has a unique take on how the mystery is presented. First, it's set in the present day so that you won't get the hokey costumes. Think more CSI: Las Vegas meets Saturday Night Live, a comedic mystery that will have you die laughing.

The truly amazing thing is that this style of True Crime Theatre works for nearly any type of backdrop; you name it. Weddings, Rehearsal Dinners, Corporate Events, Holiday Parties, Bachelorette Parties, Team Building, Birthday Parties, and Family Reunions, just to name a few...
