What to Expect at a Dallas 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.

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.

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.
