The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show - Columbus, Ohio - Columbus, Ohio

Stevena Clay

I recently attended The Dinner Detective Murder Dinner Show and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The event was quite confusing, making it challenging to fully immerse myself in the interactive murder mystery. Moreover, the audio quality was subpar, and I often struggled to hear the actors' dialogue, which made it even harder to follow the clues and solve the mystery.

On the culinary front, I must express my disappointment with the chicken dish provided. It was disappointingly bland and lacked seasoning, especially a much-needed sprinkle of salt. The lackluster flavor diminished the overall enjoyment of the meal.

In terms of the beverage selection, I found the drinks to be overpriced. While I understand that event venues often have higher prices, the discrepancy between the quality and the cost was significant. It would have been more satisfactory if the pricing were more reasonable.

Additionally, the parking fee of $20 was excessive and seemed disproportionate to the overall experience offered. It would be beneficial if the venue reconsidered the parking charges to make it more reasonable and accessible for patrons.

In summary, The Dinner Detective Murder Dinner Show fell short of my expectations. The confusion, audio issues, flavorless chicken dish, overpriced drinks, and expensive parking collectively diminished the overall experience. I hope that the organizers take this feedback constructively to improve future events.

Awesome performance, absolutely a fun experience, and (not to toot my own horn) I WON! They definitely made the case tough to solve but still gave us enough clues and suspicious characters to figure it out. Will definitely come back again!

I should have known something was awry when the dress code was so laxed. There were no mics, so there was a lot of yelling. There was slapstick comedy that wasn't good. The costumes..... oh there were no costumes, mood music/lighting to set the scenes? None of that either. The food was OK, the drinks were very light. I had great company in my wife and new and old friends so we made it work. Don't waste your money if you are looking for a professional experience.

My husband took me for my birthday on 12/02/2023. It was $60 dollars a person. So I was expecting really good food. We got to Hilton and we paid $25 dollars to park for 2 hours. We got to the dinner and went to get a drink. The miller lite was 7.50 and a can of coke 7.00. So I stayed with water. The salad was really good but small. The rolls and butter was the best part of the food. We got an appetizer. It was a small egg roll and a 1 pot sticker. We both ordered chicken. They brought out 2 pieces of chicken with no flavor. I’m pretty sure they served rice-a-roni and 2 pieces of Broccoli. Worst money we spent. The server’s never smiled and we didn’t stay til the end.

We had a lot of fun doing this. We had a couple of the actors at our table and we suspected them kind of early but weren’t sure until later. Drinks at the cash bar were a little pricey but it’s a show. I expect it to be. Overall the show was fun and entertaining. Would do this again now that I know what to expect. Highly recommend.

Such a fun night! Great for a date night. The way they integrate the food service with the show is so well executed. The actors are hilarious. And the food was better than I was expecting. It was fun to engage with the others at our table. A truly unqiue experience if you are willing to be interactive and play along! Highly recommended.

Absolute blast! The food was typical wedding catering, nothing super special.

The venue was beautiful.

The cast were improv masters. They did amazing work engaging everyone. I would recommend anyone experience at least once.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed. We were so excited to go to this. The wine glass I was given was dirty. The food was pretty bad, salad was wilted, salmon tasted like it had been out under heat lamps for hours.. dessert tasted like the inside of the refrigerator. The actors were fun, but it was very difficult to hear them and to see everything that was going on. The layout of the event was poor.

I feel like this has a lot of potential, but needs work. A new venue and layout would help tremendously.
