Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wildwood Resort and Marina hosted a private Murder Mystery for our guests and for the public at large. The actors arrived before their scheduled time and were great to work with. The show was great and they did a wonderful job making our guests part of the show. I would recommend this group.

We had a great time...
First, let me say that this is an evening where you are strongly encouraged to take part. It is NOT required, but you get out of it what you put into it.
After being instructed to use a "fake name" on your name tag, you are cut loose to mingle and scout for clues among those in attendance.
Some played along and some did not. We had good laughs and met some interesting people.
My wife got singled out as a prime suspect and was a part of the show several times.
The actors were high energy and engaging. They had an odd humor that worked for a good laugh. The food was pretty good for being catered. The service was excellent and the staff very polite.
The bar prices were a little high but no different than the hotel bar or downtown.
Overall, it made for a great time. We left smiling and saying good-bye to new friends.

I want my evening back. We were crowded elbow to elbow at banquet tables with ten people. The food was cafeteria level and cold. The “performance” went on for three hours and it felt like it consisted of two women flouncing around and clues that made so sense with the flouncing. I want my money and my evening back.

Hello! Thank you for your comments. The Dinner Detective is very different from a traditional murder mystery stage show, and we're sorry the event was not to your liking. We are extremely proud of our actors' work, and their talent and dedication shows in our many positive reviews.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope you have a wonderful day!

Too much fun. The group did a wonderful job leading us through a tantalizing evening of mystery and wonder. Did a great job incorporating members of the audience as well.
