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.

The food was great! And all the performers were well organized, knew their parts, and provided us a really fun experience! They also really kept the audience involved! We definitely wouldn't hesitate to experience it again!

Dennis, thank you! We're glad the food, the cast and all that audience involvement added up to a great time. We'd love to have you back for another case.
There was no stage, just activity that mostly happened in the middle of the [crowded] room. The room was crowded with too many tables. I understand trying to maximize profit, but this went a little overboard. The appetizer that was in the list was never provided. No mention as to why it was not served either. Just a small salad, mediocre dinner, and chocolate cake with syrup that was just OK. Basically, the food was just marginal. Talked with my spouse after the show and the best we could describe the food was 'institutional'. So the ultimate question is...would I come again? Definitely not.

Hello, thank you for your comments. We don't see a location listed in your review, could you email [email protected] with your order # and location so we can investigate? Thank you!
Went to the show in Greenville SC, first the chicken dinner was horrible, I didn’t think you could even make chicken turn into shoe leather. As for the show, I have seen high school students do better. I was not impressed at all and would never di Dinner Detective again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience at our Greenville show didn't meet your expectations. Both the quality of the meal and the entertainment are important parts of the evening, so it's disappointing to learn that neither lived up to what you were hoping for. We appreciate your candid comments and will be sharing them with both our venue partner and our production team as we continue working to improve the guest experience. While we're sorry we missed the mark during your visit, your feedback is valuable and helps us identify where we can do better. Thank you again for your review, and we wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for joining us!
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.
