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.

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.

Not what I expected
The show was more or less OK, but I had higher expectations of it. We were lucky to have some very nice table guests, which made the evening better. The food was not an amazing 4 course dinner like advertised, it was just a small salad, a chicken breast or salmon with some blend vegetables and rice and as dessert a cookie or brownie. Very disappointing. I also thought there were too many people in the room. I was really interested in a detective dinner show, but this was a disappointing evening in the Hilton Greenville, SC.

Jacksonville Florida at the Marriott
Jacksonville Florida at the Marriott. Room was to warm! Plain conference room with no atmosphere. Cash bar on top of $79 ticket was expensive. $6 for a soda. A ting was a bit hokey. Chicken overcooked. Not worth the price.
