As Seen on ABC's "Shark Tank"!
Want to experience an unforgettable night out in Phoenix? The Murder Mystery Company invites you to an immersive dinner theater experience at The Old Spaghetti Factory on Central Avenue — a downtown Phoenix institution with over a century of history and a dining room unlike any other. Antique lighting, stained glass, and a refurbished trolley car at the center of it all set the stage for an evening where the atmosphere does half the work. Professional actors weave a live, comedic whodunit through your meal as you and your table gather clues, question suspects, and race to solve the crime before the night is out.
Our public murder mystery dinner theater events take place multiple times per month at The Old Spaghetti Factory.
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 Old Spaghetti Factory is a downtown Phoenix landmark with a history as rich as its menu. The restaurant occupies a building that was originally constructed in 1921 as two separate residences — the Cole Mansion and the Baker House — later joined into one and eventually reimagined as the beloved pasta destination it is today. Decorated with antique lighting, intricate stained glass, large colorful booths, and a restored Phoenix Railway trolley car that guests can actually dine in, the space has a warmth and character that sets it apart from anywhere else in the city. It's the kind of place that becomes a tradition — and the perfect backdrop for a night of mystery.

The Murder Mystery Company team did a FANTASTIC job setting the scene for our crime, facilitating participants, and really making it a fun night for so many at our club. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for group events !!
What a wonderful, fun, hilarious way to spend an evening! The Murder Mystery Dinner was great! Very interactive! We laughed a lot and enjoyed every minute of the mystery shenanigans! Would highly recommend this and we would love to do this type of evening again soon!
It was fun, it was engaging, we all really loved it! Totally recommended! (And I must say that I was a little reluctant in advance to the idea of attending this type of event... and I've been converted to a fan after it)
What a fun experience! This was my first murder mystery event, and it was so enjoyable. The Murder Mystery Dinner Theater actors were all so engaging and fantastic. Fun plot, fun characters, and very memorable names. Audience engagement was high, and I loved seeing fellow teammates morph into new characters and be part of the storyline. Thanks for a wonderful evening!
