I attended the St. Louis Murder Mystery Dinner last night and had a blast! The actors were energetic and engaging, keeping the crowd laughing and involved from start to finish. The mystery was cleverly written, with enough twists to keep us guessing, and the interactive format made it even more fun. The food was solid and the pacing of the evening was smooth. Great for a date night, group outing, or something different to do in the city. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary!

April 4 2026 performance

David_L, Apr 2026
I found this to be very entertaining. The performers were friendly and engaging, as well as our fellow audience members. I would also add, I have been to a couple of these before in other areas and those were done in more of a dinner/comedy club type facility. In my opinion, this allowed for a different type of atmosphere in terms of things like lighting, sound effects, etc... . I think this made for a better overall mood for this kind of performance/activity. This performance was in an open, brightly lit event room at a hotel. It was nice, and we had a nice time, and the performers were great...just could be a better experience if a little more was put in to creating a better overall atmosphere.

The setting was easy to...

Marie_H, Apr 2025
The setting was easy to find. There was plenty of parking, park towards the back of the building. The food was good,we had the chicken. The confirmed actors were good and the actors that were "part of the audience" did a great job of remaining incognito. A fun evening!

Create a unique fake name when you arrive. Follow the given clues. Everyone could be a suspect and enjoy the night.

What a night of laughter!

Ashley_G, Dec 2024
My husband and I absolutely loved this show. The couples and families at our table were so fun and I am beyond impressed with the great comedy and acting by the cast. They are just hilarious!! There were a few times I couldn’t tell if they were improving or not because it was just so funny and so well put together. I could not recommend this enough! Everyone there was ready to laugh and have a great time and that is what we did all night! I laughed and smiled all night, it was incredible!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Fun. Need microphones

Paula_C, Apr 2024
Was funny. Sat with some fun people. Totally enjoyed it. My husband however, has very poor hearing and could not hear a lot of it. Microphones would have made it much better for him.
