There was a large group participating. Fun actors acted out the drama of a murder that happened in our dining room. I had some difficulty following what the clues were supposed to mean. But it was definitely a fun evening.

It was exciting to watch. My family and I became so involved that we found ourselves taking little small notes and making small bets as to who committed the murder. I would recommend the show to everyone. If you want to have a great meal and play Sherlock Holmes this is the way to do it.

Was disappointed when we got to our seats and my sister and I were the only ones at the table to show up so it was a dead give away that the other person was the actor. I feel like they could have done a better job of mixing people up before we sat down since they would have known the other group was not there. This is a really expensive show and it would have been nice to have the experience that everyone else had. That being said the food was incredible and the actors were nice but I wouldn't go anywhere to pay $120+ just to enjoy a meal.

The food was bland and served cold. No one at our table finished or cared for it. Several of us went back to the lobby to get more meatball appetizers. Very difficult to hear the cast members. Apparently they've not heard of wireless microphones. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

The meal was good, but not wonderful, the mystery show was not great, the solution did not match up with the clues, would not go again.
