Mystery Dinner Theaters are a great way for groups of all ages to gather for an incredible event. They get to know others in the community while also enjoying time with family and friends. Your audience members enter a different world. Actors are in character. The room is creatively and thematically decorated. Guests mingle, snack on appetizers, read character descriptions and play interactive table games. The first scene introduces the future suspects which creates interest and curiousity. As the crowd dines, they also enjoy interacting with various actors. Next, the largest part of the drama is presented. Towards the very end, a crime takes place.
As the evening progresses, the audience continues to be involved. While they munch on desserts, the crowd dicusses their speculations with others. Each person submits an individual accusation card to guess who is guilty. The culprit is exposed in the final scene. With this revelation, guests discover if their hypotheses were correct. Winners are rewarded with thematic prizes. Your guests will talk and share for weeks!
