What to Expect at a Nashville 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.
