The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show - Birmingham, AL — Local services in Birmingham

I have no idea how this gets such high ratings. To start, the woman at the check-in desk told us it would start promptly at 6pm at which time she would give us all instructions. She did not come out to address the group until 6:28pm and made no apology about the late start. Then, there was another 20 minute wait to be seated because they told us to stand in a line to check-in (even though everyone was there prior to 6pm). We were not seated until 7pm. After this, the "Show" began. It was not a show. The suspect was the hotel doorman (not an actor) who walked in and said he got stabbed and laid on the floor. After that, everything was unclear. It was just a couple of horrible "Actors" walking around the room saying things (without a microphone). There was never a clear description of the crime or how to solve it. Nor was there any mention of when we would be served dinner. After just sitting at our table in a brightly lit conference room for 30 minutes watching the two women walk around the room saying things (it's now 7:30), with no food or drinks (alcohol is not included in the ticket price), we got up and left. Didn't even stay for dinner. Please, do not waste your money. We spent over $160 after taxes and fees for this (2 tickets). ...

I was very professional the whole time and worked very hard and excelled at my job. I did nothing wrong and was unfairly terminated. There were no safety measures in place and I did the best I could under the circumstances and did what many co-hosts have done before me. I always had a good repor with them guests and got my job done well and early. The show isn't that good and some of the hosts have cut out bits all together hecause the detectives didn't want to do them. The food was awful and not worth the ticket price. The person who let me go is the owner who lives out of state and wasn't even there that night when a customer got unruly with me and see for herself. Maybe she needed to know most co-hosts did the same thing. I loved my job and Whitney, the owner, removed me from the cast based on a rumor. I did everything asked if me and nothing more. I have a disability that has never got in the...

I'm always looking for fun experiences and things to do other than just the typical, boring going out to eat. I've also always wanted to try a Murder Mystery type dinner. This event was awesome! It was filled with mystery and comedy. I really liked how the actors/actresses got everyone involved. The food was surprisingly good (I was going for the show not so much the food so expected average). The props and setup was perfect and entertaining. Even the check-in desk was decorative. I think this would be a perfect type of event for a date, co-workers and friends just wanting to hang out, since tables are shared, you can even come alone and fit right in. I am writing this review at home after the event, during my experience we were not asked, or given incentives for writing a review. Highly recommended for something to do out of the...
