Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What should I wear?

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.

How are we seated?

Seating is handled by our host at the door based on party size. Tables seat 4, 6, or 8 guests, so make sure your whole group arrives and queues up together to ensure you're seated side by side for the full experience.

Is the show appropriate for kids?

We recommend our shows for guests ages 13 and up. There's no graphic content or profanity, but the performances do include adult humor and innuendos that may not be suitable for younger children. Most attendees are adults, and there is no kids' menu or difference in ticket pricing for younger guests.

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.

Do you offer gift cards?

We do! Gift cards are available for purchase through our website via our third-party partner, GiftUp, and can be redeemed on Eventbrite when booking dinner theater tickets. Please keep in mind that gift cards apply to public show ticket purchases only and cannot be used toward private event bookings. Purchase yours here!

Is there parking nearby?

Blue Mesa Grill has a free on-site parking lot available for guests attending the murder mystery dinner.

Can I make dietary accommodations?

Blue Mesa Grill is able to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets. If you have additional dietary restrictions or specific ingredient questions, we recommend reaching out to the restaurant directly ahead of your visit so they can make sure everything is arranged for you.

Is Dinner included with the ticket?

Yes — your ticket covers both the show and a full three-course dinner, including an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. No need to worry about a separate dinner reservation; it's all part of the experience.

What happens if I arrive late?

To keep the show running smoothly for all guests, we are unable to admit latecomers once the doors have closed. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your show's start time to get settled and make the most of the evening.

Are Murder Mystery Company dinner shows good for large groups, private events, or corporate parties?

Blue Mesa Grill's location in North Dallas makes it a convenient destination for groups coming in from across the metro area. Our shows are a natural fit for team builders, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, and corporate events of all kinds — the interactive format keeps everyone engaged from the first clue to the final reveal. Reach out to our event planning team at (888) 643-2583, available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM ET, to start planning.
