Want to experience an unforgettable night out in Portland? The Murder Mystery Company invites you to an immersive dinner theater experience at The Old Spaghetti Factory in the South Waterfront district — the birthplace of a beloved American dining institution. With its warm vintage atmosphere, waterfront setting, and a space built for groups of all sizes, it's a venue that makes a great evening even better. 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 in Portland holds a special place in the chain's history — the very first Old Spaghetti Factory opened in Portland, Oregon, in a historic building constructed in 1886, and the restaurant has called the South Waterfront district home since 1984. Decorated with antique lighting, intricate stained glass, large colorful booths, and a classic trolley car for guests to dine in, the space has been welcoming families and groups for decades with its founding philosophy that a memorable dining experience doesn't have to cost a lot. It's a Portland institution — and a natural home for a night of mystery.
Many guests attend our Portland murder mystery dinners for special occasions such as:
We had a 3-actor show for "The Death of a Gangster" at my staff holiday party and it was amazing. The actors were on time (traveled S. from Portland), quick to get the crowd involved and were VERY funny and engaging. My staff came to work the next day, half of them still in character and talking in New York 1920's accents with the nick names they were given!! HIGHLY recommend this for anyone.
In addition to public dinner shows, The Murder Mystery Company also hosts private events and parties in the Portland area.
