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 recently hosted a Murder Mystery Dinner with The Dinner Detective and it was so much fun! The group came to us and made everything easy and enjoyable. From the initial contact, to our goodbye at the end of the night, communication is seamless and efficient, expectations are laid out and every detail came together perfectly. We hosted this for an employee dinner after a long day of meetings and it was the perfect way to unwind together! I received nothing but amazing comments about the event and we will be using them again! :)

The show
The show, actors and food was great. When I bought the tickets, I was under the impression that the table would sit 10. I was not aware, nor was it noted, that we would be "split up" and was required to sit at different tables. This was unacceptable!!
