A True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Experience Unlike Anything Else...

True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Theater With The Dinner Detective: 100+ Locations Worldwide!

At The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show, you’ll tackle a hilarious and challenging crime while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

Join us for a unique true crime event that is very different from a typical traditional murder mystery dinner show. Our shows are set in the present day and the actors are not dressed in costume but rather are hidden in the audience! This results in a fun, social and interactive evening suitable for all adults.

Our engaging and unique murder mystery dinner theatre performances have been playing across the country since 2004.  Join us for an evening full of intrigue, hilarity, and unscripted moments you simply can’t find anywhere else!

Unlike a typical murder mystery dinner theatre performance, you won’t be watching a handful of actors stiffly reciting lines in front of the room. The action happens all around you, and any person in the audience can end up being a part of the show, even YOU! Throughout the night, you’ll find yourself wondering if what just happened was scripted or real!

Since our Los Angeles Grand Opening in 2004, The Dinner Detective has quickly become the largest murder mystery dinner show in the United States. Our signature blend of intrigue, comedy, and spontaneity has enthralled millions of guests at our public and private shows.

Come see what all the fuss is about and join us at an upcoming murder mystery dinner show! Or if you are buying tickets for someone special, we offer gift certificates as well!

Murder mystery gift certificates are a unique, fun, and entertaining gift idea! Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Gift Certificates are a great choice for any adult on your list. Our Gift Certificates will send your friends and family on a mysterious and hilarious journey to solve a crime before our Detectives do!

It sounds like something out of a psychological thriller: a wealthy socialite and her son, bound by loyalty and greed, weave a trail of fraud, deception, and murder across the country. The story begins with Sante Kimes, a con artist infamous for her schemes. Together with her son Kenneth, she orchestrates elaborate plots, from identity theft to real estate scams. But it doesn’t stop there.

In one case, an associate who uncovered their forgery ended up dead. In another, an elderly socialite mysteriously vanished after they set their sights on her mansion. The pair’s crimes were so meticulous that it took years for investigators to piece it all together.

The son later confessed, claiming he acted under his mother’s orders. But is this a tale of familial manipulation and murder—or a cleverly spun narrative to hide even darker truths? You decide.

After robbing nearly a dozen homes, a man named Lukasz Chojnowski decided to break into yet another house while the family was away. But this time, he encountered an unexpected problem—the place was too messy for his liking. Rather than pocketing valuables, he went on a cleaning spree, tidying rooms, dusting surfaces, and even washing dishes! But here’s where it gets even stranger: when the family returned, they found their house immaculate—and Chojnowski fast asleep in their bed. They immediately called the police, and the so-called 'Goldilocks Burglar' was arrested on the spot.

Some folks, even burglars, are more interested in scrubbing than getting away scott free.
