The Dinner Detective True Crime Murder Mystery Dinner Show - Cedar Rapids, IA — Local services in Cedar Rapids

My friends and I decided to buy tickets for the show because we wanted to try a murder mystery dinner. Although the acting was funny and entertaining, I gave it three stars for a few reasons. First, we all felt that the beginning of the event was unstructured. Once you find your seat, there is a piece of paper that informs you to start mingling. We found this conflicting because other people starting eating their salad instead, so we weren't sure whether to interrupt or stay. It seemed like other people we encountered were on the same boat. The food was okay, I chose the chicken dinner and there was nothing really special about it. Lastly, I was highly disappointed with the revealed suspect in the end. I do agree with another reviewer that they only give you about 10 minutes to think and write your response. In addition, in order to have solved the mystery you needed to have background knowledge on a certain topic (I will not reveal to avoid giving out spoilers). It was an unfair advantage and we all felt the same way. I would consider a murder mystery again in the future, but not through...

This was our second time at one of these Dinners with The Dinner Detective! I did recognize some of the actors/actress' but it did not give anything away or ruin the experience. The food is pretty good (Not spectacular), having the bar in the room is nice but I prefer going to the bar in the lobby. It is so fun and interactive. I love that they get the audience involved and they interact with everyone (more with the individuals who pay more to be a suspect). However they do talk with many other individuals as well! Everyone involved is amazing and I have never have a bad experience. It is fun to meet new people and get to know the people at your table and around the room! I will continue doing them! I assume the two individuals who play the detectives are the same every time which is not a bad thing! They tend to have the same demeanor about them no matter the show. They are very funny and adaptable. If you're wanting a light and fun night out with some friends, family, or your significant other then this would be a...

Had a great time at the Double Tree event tonight in Cedar Rapids. The performers were amazing!! They involved the audience, which was great! It was great to finally get out and be amongst friends!! I am giving the show 5 Stars, but the wait staff and food, I’m only giving a 1.The wait staff was absolutely horrible!! Part of the dinner included coffee or tea and appetizers . Nobody got appetizers.Several people at our table asked for tea and never got it! One of the people at our table didn’t get dessert with the rest of us. When they asked the waitress for it, she went to get it, but forgot which table it went to. She walked around trying to figure out which table it was suppose to go to. I don’t know if we would go back to the show if it is at the Double Tree, but will MOST DEFINITELY go back if it is at another...
