Reviews, get directions and information for The Dinner Detective

"Our immensely popular Dinner Detective shows are set in the present day. Unlike other murder mystery dinner shows, here you will find no cheesy costumes, no recited campy dialogue and no hokey song and dance. Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not. In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don't even realize it until they die...the performers, that is! Our Detectives proceed to interrogate everyone and find clues as more people die. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime."

Had my bachelorette party at one of the shows, it was a blast! The actors were great and hilarious. The food was amazing!! I thought it was so fun to take notes of everything and go around to different tables to interview people. Or having people come interview our table. The show was very well done and I had an amazing time!! Couldn’t recommend it enough!
The actors are funny, the food is good, remember to bring cash for drinks at the cash bar, cash bar prices similar to hotel cost so higher than just a bar or restaurant. Be ready to have them rush you to decide who did it after you get the last clue. I thought I had 10 to 15 minutes left, but honestly even more, nope, they rush you a ton. I also needed more paper to analyze my notes....if you came to actually solve for the challenge, it turned into a disappointment.
Great experience. Good food. Very interactive. Highly recommended.
One of the best evenings I’ve had out downtown Cedar Rapids. The view of town is awesome. The performance is interesting and the “actors” did awesome and made everyone laugh. The atmosphere is light and inclusive. I am definitely going to come again.
Had a great time at the Double Tree event tonight in Cedar Rapids. The performers were amazing!! They involved the audience, which was great! It was great to finally get out and be amongst friends!! I am giving the show 5 Stars, but the wait staff and food, I’m only giving a 1.The wait staff was absolutely horrible!! Part of the dinner included coffee or tea and appetizers . Nobody got appetizers.Several people at our table asked for tea and never got it! One of the people at our table didn’t get dessert with the rest of us. When they asked the waitress for it, she went to get it, but forgot which table it went to. She walked around trying to figure out which table it was suppose to go to. I don’t know if we would go back to the show if it is at the Double Tree, but will MOST DEFINITELY go back if it is at another event center.
This is by far the most interactive, amazing, and satisfactory show I’ve ever been to. It is truly one of a kind and so fun! There is drinks, wonderful food, and the actors and host Meredith is the bomb!. I cannot recommend this place enough!
The food was terrible. The show was so bad. It was basically 2 people playing cops and asking questions it wasn't a show in my opinion. There were 4 of us that went and we were all disappointed. Won't ever go back.
The show was great! It was hilarious and interactive!!it was fun to sit with other people and the food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend!!
My friends and I decided to buy tickets for the show because we wanted to try a murder mystery dinner. Although the acting was funny and entertaining, I gave it three stars for a few reasons. First, we all felt that the beginning of the event was unstructured. Once you find your seat, there is a piece of paper that informs you to start mingling. We found this conflicting because other people starting eating their salad instead, so we weren't sure whether to interrupt or stay. It seemed like other people we encountered were on the same boat. The food was okay, I chose the chicken dinner and there was nothing really special about it. Lastly, I was highly disappointed with the revealed suspect in the end. I do agree with another reviewer that they only give you about 10 minutes to think and write your response. In addition, in order to have solved the mystery you needed to have background knowledge on a certain topic I will not reveal to avoid giving out spoilers. It was an unfair advantage and we all felt the same way. I would consider a murder mystery again in the future, but not through this company.
The actors were very funny and staff was very friendly. Great food, view from the building and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a night with the Dinner Detectives.
