This was awesome! Great actors, food and entertainment! Hilarious showmanship! We had a really great time and recommended the show to everyone

Fun and funny. Food is great. Actors do a good job involving the audience with improv jokes centered around the mystery. The audience has to very attentive to everything going on in the room

So so amazing!! I loved every bit of it I would come again the actors and actresses did amazing I loved the show the food was amazing and so so funny

This was something new we tried!! Is was very entertaining and fun. Kept you hooked. I wasn't even close to solving the murder!!

I do not recommend that anyone purchase their tickets through Groupon. The Dinner Detective is using a shady practice of adding on an additional fee for Groupon vouchers of $15 per person that you are required to pay for at the time of reservation, which ends up making the tickets more expensive that if you had just purchased tickets directly at their site. I haven't yet seen the show and I am already disappointed in their company.

Show was great!! All the actors were so entertaining and they involved the audience which made it so much fun.. The only thing I would complain about was the food it was good but not enough.. Very small portion we were still hungry and had to stop on the way home to get something to eat which was disappointing since we paid so much for the dinner..

It was fun and met lots of people. If you are shy or quiet go with someone who is friendly and outgoing since you have to speak to people. Make sure you have an alias name ready.

I got tickets for the show through groupon. NEVER get ticket through groupon...it was a huge hassle. I called the number to redeem my tickets and it referred me to online. It was automated system through the Dinner Detective. It took me three days to talk to a real person. I also called the Hotel Andaluz where this event takes place on a weekly basis, well they were no help either, they said "we don't have anything to do with them, call directly." The redemption process is tricky and not user friendly. First you have to find the tiny print on the Website under gift certificates where then it says redeem. Then I made a small mistake where it says that you have to call the company in order to make changes (hence the three days). I also received an e-mail that said "it looks like you are having trouble completing your order, please call" - the same number. When I called and told them that I need to change the reservation, he wanted to know if I had been to the website and if there were any directions in the e-mail...Yes, the directions were to call "YOU." Well after he gave my information to the director, the director did e-mail me back promptly, but requested that I pay tax and gratuity online before my reservation could be complete! I understand that tx and gratuity are separate from my coupon, but I have never heard of paying gratuity for a service that I have not even received yet! I did pay it, got a confirmation on my payment, but never a confirmation that I was set for the specific date of my reservation (you have to reserve ahead of time a specific date). When we got to the venue, they did not have our reservations (which made me mad because I spent a total of a week trying to sort things out) luckily I had all my other confirmations and the e-mail conversations with the director. Here is where I wish I could rate the reservations separate from the event as here are where the stars come in. Liz and Bob our hosts were kind, funny and gracious. They got us in without a problem or questions. They had immaculate customer service and great people skills. The actors were hilarious..especially the two detectives. Very animated and great ad libbing. The service was excellent. The hosts will explain some things before you enter the banquet hall. When you check in, you will have to make up a character name for yourself. Then all become suspect and shady in the murder mystery. You get to interrogate and interact with other people. It makes it more fun to get out of your comfort zone when you are "someone else." There are appetizers served and a cash bar (with a selection of three drinks only) once you are inside. You can also start your alcohol consumption early at the hotel bar if you wish. The food wasn't that great. You have to pre-order your meal at the time of reservation. You only get three choices for your entree and the food was unflavorful conference food. The story is well written and the actors are good. Each table gets a set of clues to read and follow. Each person gets their own interrogation paper to write notes about other people in the room. My problem is that there was not enough room on the paper to write down all my notes and I frankly don't think there was enough time to eat and solve the mystery. I felt rushed to eat and I felt rushed to try and interrogate people, write down information, read the clues and try and solve the mystery. As a matter of fact, when I went to get another drink from the bar, I came back and they had taken my plate which I was not finished with yet! At the end, after prepaying gratuity, I still ended up tipping the bartenders separately, there was an envelope on our table and we were told that the actors needed to be tipped because that is how they get paid. If the actors were also some of the servers, and I had to tip them separately, then who got the gratuity that I prepaid for? Be prepared to bring cash to tip the actors and the bar tenders separately from what you already prepaid, and make sure your reservations have definitely gone through. You can stay the night in the hotel if you are from out of town or plan on becoming intoxicated. Get into character, lie if you want, read the clues carefully. and try to enjoy the show.

First time we've been to a large mystery dinner (have done them at home and murder mystery weekends). It was a fun evening filled with laughter and mystery solving. Food was okay - liked the fish better than the chicken (set menu with choice of main entree). Going with some friends made it that much more enjoyable.
