The Dinner Detective Murder Mystery Dinner Show - San Diego, CA — Local services in San Diego

Came here for a birthday surprise dinner and so glad I did. The ambience was a casual dinner with a bunch of amazing people. Everyone here as patrons were great and the actors even better.

As for the food it was ok. By no means was it five star, but I really wasn't expecting to much for this type event. The bar outside of the room was a little pop so not to much of a selection. FYI just go upstairs to the hotel lobby bar because its a little faster and much more of a selection of spirits/beer. Although a few words of advice trying to figure out who the killer was after a few old fashions is not advised. Pretty sure I thought I was the killer at one point.

The show pretty much walks you through all the evidence, but it is up to you to articulate and weed through it. Without ruining it but when they say anyone could be the murderer anyone can truly be at that point. Lets just say watch and listen to those who you are sitting with, and those around you at all times

All and all YES I do recommend this show. Don't go for the food, but the show and actors that bring it alive. It was a great experience because it was like a comedy at the same time. Bring friends and family to have...

Amazed by how many good reviews this has. Although the actors were ok and funny at times the entire show was impossible to follow, the clues made no sense, how anyone could figure out the ‘murderer’ is beyond me… in our group of 30 people everyone was completely confused the entire time. The food was terrible, general buffet food… actually my veggie pasta was ok but everyone who had the chicken and fish said they were terrible. The entire night left us beyond confused… even looking back on the clues in detail the following day I’m not even beginning to put together how your supposed to pinpoint the person they said did it at the end. When you enter the hotel it’s a beautiful and historic building but then they take you downstairs to a bland meeting room with no character. In the room for the ‘show’ with 80 people and I’m not sure there was one person who got the right answer at the end. Will absolutely never recommend or return. Actors you guys were nice and a few were entertaining but the writing, storyline and mystery is extremely lacking… please go work at a playhouse and preform something people can...

I was very disappointed with this experience. I took my sister for her birthday and I was disappointed enough that I told her we are going to do a "do over" so I can do something else for her for her birthday. Although the actors were enthusiastic they didn't provide any setting or background information or discuss the clues at all but just stuck them to the wall and we could also see using QR code. They also told us to mingle and then told us to stay in our seats. It was incredibly disjointed with not enough discussion to really be able to establish any kind of relationship between the clues and the person that committed the crime was completely unknown and never introduced. My food was cold. Pound cake was good. I was very very disappointed as I really had hoped it would be a fun way to celebrate my sister's birthday since she likes mysteries. Unfortunately I would never recommend and I would not come back. That was not worth the amount of money...
