“ This was rather entertaining, however, the venue could use some taking care of, but I will cover that in another review at a later time. While scouring for a team building event for work, we decided to reach out to this company. Their website is forthcoming with a ton of information, but they were helpful on the backend of things. Purchasing tickets was easy, and it's great that tickets were available until the day of the event. I have never been to one of these things before but was kind of exciting. I have heard that it can be cheesy or campy, but I'm up for the camp. Who doesn't love dinner and a show? We had a large group, around 40 people or so and with prior warning they were able to make it work where our whole group sat in a designated area. That also kind of played into the whole way this played out. Before you come here they will send you an email with information on how to proceed. You will get confirmation numbers after you select your meal. Chicken, fish, or vegetarian are your choices. They also tell you that the actors will be intermingled throughout the crowd. Having four tables taken up by your group cuts down on who the actors are and helps you out in the end. The show is entertaining. I laughed a few times to the point where I had heads turn my way. The actors were spot on for their script and at the end of each act, which you should pay attention to, you are given a QR code to go through the clues. As the show is going on you are treated to a meal. But it is not obviously the best selection of food. As this is being hosted at a hotel, you are eating hotel food that you might find if you attended a banquet at said hotel. It fits the bill for dinner and a movie, but otherwise, nothing to write home about. Back to the show portion. I forgot to mention that you have a mingling session at the start. You are encouraged to go around the room and network to see if you can get any information on who you might think are the actors before you really know they are an actor. At the end, you get to write down your answers to see if you are right. You most likely will be right, but a majority of the room will probably be right as well. The thing I didn't like about it was that even though you might have the right answer, you most likely will not get picked as the winner at the end of the night. You will most definitely see that the winner will have been sitting at the table with the 'whodunnit' all along. It isn't that bad of a night. It is a great time to be had. You are paying for dinner and a show and that they deliver on. The actors are hilarious, and when they need to attend to business they attend to business. We had one person who needed a vegan option and they pulled through for us at the last minute. I really appreciated that. ”
“ I took my husband to a show to celebrate his birthday. There was a cash bar which is nice. I couldn't tell you how the drinks are because I wasn't drinking that night. The food was barely mediocre at best. There were some appetizers served that were decent (mini crab cakes), but my main course was barely edible. I ended up not eating it. I ordered the salmon and it was very dry and overcooked. I would go back, but definitely not for the food. My husband got the chicken and although it was better than the salmon... it wasn't great. The show and mystery was really fun. I would go back for that. The mystery was well hidden in the clues, but not so difficult that you couldn't understand it if really paying attention. I paid extra to have my husband be a "suspect" and they incorporated him into the show in a cute way. We've decided to go back with a group, but go out to eat first & warn the group about the food. The show is really about playing detective,not the dinner. It would be 5 stars if they could improve that. ”
“ Enjoyable time. Food was just ok. What stands out most is the customer service. I had to email twice for two separate things. The responses were super quick and courteous! Would definitely go again. ”
“ This was a dinner that had much more mystery than I suspected. They are also very accommodating with food allergies which is amazing! Great food as well. ”
