I've never been to a Murder Mystery Dinner Show. How does it work?
The show takes place in between the courses of your 4-course dinner. The show is an interactive and improvised comedic murder mystery set in the present day. None of the performers are dressed in costume, but instead are dressed just like everyone else; therefore you do not know who is a part of the show and who isn't.
The show takes place throughout the entire room, performers may even be seated at your table. Part of the fun from the beginning is trying to figure out who's involved in the crime and who's not. Throughout the night, murders and mayhem will occur, hidden clues will come forth and the Detectives will help everyone try to solve the crime. In the end, there is a prize package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime.
Every murder mystery admission ticket includes an interrogation reception, hors d'oeuvres, fresh rolls and butter, a mixed baby greens salad, your choice of entree, dessert, iced tea and coffee with free refills as well as gratuity for the waitstaff. A tantalizing Prize Package for the Top Sleuth who comes closest to solving the crime will also be given out. There is a full bar (cash only) if you would like to purchase cocktails.
What type of food is served?
Entree choices are typically as follows (and are subject to change):
Blackened Chicken Breast with Creole Sauce, Eggplant and Boudin Dirty Rice, Vegetarian Option
Dessert is typically Red Velvet Cheesecake
If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please notify Virgin Experience Gifts at the time of booking.
Guests are not required to perform in any way. However, the murder mystery performers are not dressed up in costume so the audience will not know whether or not you are a part of the show and may interact with you on their own.
What is the minimum age?
Due to the interactive and somewhat unpredictable nature of the shows, the minimum age requirement is 15 and adult supervision is required.
How does seating work?
Everyone has assigned seats at 8 - 10 person banquet-style tables. If your party is larger than 10, please let us know how you would like us to divide up your party; you will be seated at two tables next to one another.
*All seats are center stage! There is no set stage and the action happens all around you. The performers make an effort to engage all guests in solving the crime.
