Is there an age limit?

There is no strict age limit for our shows, but we generally recommend them for guests ages 13 and up. The majority of attendees are adults, and our performances carry a PG-10 to PG-13 rating. While there is no swearing or graphic content, the show does include some adult humor and innuendos that younger audiences may not fully appreciate. We do not offer a children's menu or reduced pricing for younger guests.

There's no formal dress code — dinner casual is perfectly appropriate for any of our shows. That said, dressing to the theme is always a fun option, and we do hand out a Best Costume award at the end of the evening. Whether you come dressed to impress or keep it casual, you'll fit right in.

Seating is handled by our host at the door based on party size. Tables seat between 6 and 8 guests, so make sure your whole group arrives and queues up together to ensure everyone is seated side by side for the full experience.

Can we book a private event?

Absolutely! Private events are a fantastic option for birthdays, corporate outings, holiday gatherings, and more. Give us a call at (888) 643-2583 to connect with one of our event planners, who will walk you through everything involved in putting together a private party.

Can I make dietary accommodations?

The Stillwater Event Center is able to work with guests who have dietary restrictions, but it is important that you communicate your needs in advance. Please reach out to the venue directly before your visit to discuss ingredient information and ensure the right accommodations are in place for your evening.

What to Expect at a Minneapolis Murder Mystery Dinner

The Murder Mystery Company creates a fully interactive theater experience, where the audience becomes part of the investigation.

As soon as guests arrive at the venue, they are greeted by actors already in character and introduced to the story. Some guests may even be selected to play suspects in the mystery.

During the evening you will:

Interact with professional actors performing the mystery
Work with your table to investigate clues
Question suspects and gather information
Solve the crime before the show ends
Enjoy a full three-course dinner while the story unfolds

The experience is often compared to a live-action version of the game Clue, with plenty of comedy, audience participation, and surprises.

Even if you're not chosen as a suspect, every guest participates in the investigation as a detective working alongside their table team.

DINNER MENU

Dinner is served during the show and included with your ticket.

Stillwater Event Center

We've been a business for 35 years and we've had over 35 Christmas parties. It's always hard to find something different and I'll tell you what this was one and we should have done years ago.

These guys are complete professionals. They come in and take over and in character from the moment they come in.
