The Dinner Detective is North America's largest interactive true crime murder mystery 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!
Forget everything you know about traditional murder mystery dinner shows. Ours is a true crime twist where anyone—yes, anyone—could be part of the plot. We sneak undercover actors into the crowd, blending in like ordinary guests, which turns the whole evening into a wildly social, suspense-filled experience. Set in the present day and unfolding in real time, our costumed Detectives will dig up clues, question suspicious characters (some of whom might be sitting right next to you), and pull everyone deeper into the mystery. Trust no one... and keep your alibi ready!
Happens on the following Dates: Feb 14, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Mar 14, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Apr 11, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) May 16, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Jun 13, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada) Jul 11, 2026, 6:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Central Time (US &amp; Canada)
