Want to experience an unforgettable night out in St. Paul? The Murder Mystery Company invites you to an immersive dinner theater experience at Buca di Beppo on Gannon Road —nestled along a scenic bend of the Mississippi River in the Highland Park neighborhood, this St. Paul location blends classic Midwestern hospitality with high-energy Italian charm.
Buca di Beppo - St. Paul sets the perfect stage for a night of live comedy, clues, and whodunit drama. Professional actors weave the mystery through your meal as you and your table work together to crack the case before the night is out.
Our public murder mystery dinner theater events take place multiple times per month at Buca di Beppo - St. Paul.
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:
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.
The themes of our shows change monthly.
Guests are encouraged to dress for the theme if they wish, though costumes are optional.
The Venue:
The Buca di Beppo in St. Paul, Minnesota, offers a dining experience deeply rooted in the brand's unique history. While it operates as part of a national chain, the brand originally started in a nearby apartment basement in Minneapolis. It was designed as an affectionate, over-the-top homage to mid-century Italian-American supper clubs. The name itself roughly translates from Italian to ""Joe's small basement"", a nod to those humble, cozy beginnings.
Nestled along a scenic bend of the Mississippi River in the Highland Park neighborhood, this specific location blends classic Midwestern hospitality with high-energy Italian charm.
Many guests attend our Minneapolis murder mystery dinners for special occasions such as:
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.
Super fun! So glad we did it and we will do it again I'm sure.. kudos you guys! So happy with what you did!
In addition to public dinner shows, The Murder Mystery Company also hosts private events and parties in the Minneapolis area.
