Get together and solve a crime!

We’re proud of our exclusive partnership with Mystery Cafe, America’s Original Mystery Dinner Theater. This really is a best-of-breed production. Guided by a quirky detective, you’ll work to solve a crime by interrogating a wild cast of characters. We handle all the details, which frees you up to relax and have fun, rather than worrying about running the show.

Once everyone arrives at your chosen venue, you’ll find yourselves meeting some of the most outlandish and interesting characters you’ve ever encountered. Clues begin popping up. Motives emerge. And then – the murder. That’s when the fun really begins. You get to question suspects, evaluate clues and put your best problem-solving skills to work. Our comedic detective and other characters will keep you laughing every step of the way.

We offer a wide range of storylines to choose from or let us develop a personalized Murder Mystery Game specifically for your group. Lots of really good options here – just ask.
