Since our Grand Opening in Los Angeles back in 2004, The Dinner Detective has exploded onto the scene as the largest, and most interactive, award winning true crime murder mystery dinner show in the United States and likely the world!
We've been described as "SNL meets Law and Order," with our signature mix of sharp wit, unexpected twists, and full-on audience participation, we've captivated millions of guests over the years at private shows or across our 100+ public show locations nationwide. Our shows are based on actual true crimes and unlike traditional murder mystery dinners with awkward monologues, costumes, accents, and predictable plots, The Dinner Detective delivers a night where anything can happen... and anyone in the room might be a suspect. Even you.
Public shows run year-round, typically on Saturday nights, but we also throw private true crime murder mystery events any night of the week, customized for your company, celebration, or just because you like a little chaos with your cocktails. Whether it's an intimate party of 30 or a full-house crowd of 400+, we bring the mystery to life at our venues, or yours.
We’ve entertained tens of thousands of groups from Fortune 500 companies to private groups. Now, it’s your turn to find out: Can you solve the mystery before dessert?
