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.

Most crimes committed during the holidays involve… fruitcake. (Okay, maybe not that kind of crime. 🍰) But we promise, there’s no mystery as juicy as ours!

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the town,
Not a clue was stirring, no mystery to be found... yet.

Wishing you a joyful holiday and a night filled with festive cheer.
🎅 Merry Christmas Eve from all of us at The Dinner Detective! 🎄

⬅️ FACT: Men born in November are significantly more likely to be left-handed due to high testosterone levels in the fetal brain's left hemisphere (the one that controls right-handedness). 

⬅️ FACT: In academic studies, male lefties also consistently scored lower than their right-handed counterparts on the violence scale.

⬅️ CONCLUSION: Your south-pawed sidekick probably didn't murder the victim at our show, but you'll need a ticket to find out who did!
