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!

In the shadowy corridors of global power, whispers tell of operatives who wield influence not through force, but through economics. One such tale centers on a man whose job was to approach foreign leaders with an offer too good to refuse: massive loans for ambitious infrastructure projects, promised to elevate their nations to prosperity.

But the fine print told a darker story. The loans were designed to be unpayable. As interest piled up, these nations were pushed to the brink of economic collapse. Then came the demands—control over valuable natural resources, exclusive trade agreements, or the establishment of military bases.

The process, some say, wasn’t accidental but a deliberate strategy to secure global dominance without firing a single shot. Yet, skeptics argue that this narrative is a conspiracy too neat to be true.

So, is this a hidden truth about modern empire-building or just another myth of global intrigue? You decide.
