If you're looking for something fun to do in Louisville that's out of the ordinary, then how about actually being a part of a good ole' murder mystery while enjoying a delicious dinner?
Where is this place?
The place is The Dinner Detective an interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre with shows playing year-round in downtown Louisville. And as far as things to do in Louisville goes, this place is a winner.
Bring your A-game because this is not just any dining experience! You and your party of guests will need to put your heads together to solve a crime with the criminal hiding in plain sight right in the room with you. But watch out because you just may end up being one of the prime suspects!
Included with admission is professional wait staff service, a full-course meal of appetizers, house salad, an entrée, dessert, tea, and coffee as well as a signature award-winning murder mystery dinner theatre show, chance to win a prize as Top Sleuth, and more. A cash bar is also available.
All murder mystery shows at The Dinner Detective are geared towards adults only featuring mild adult content, loud noises, and adult humor. Teenagers are permitted with adult supervision only. More information on age restrictions and other details can be found on the FAQ page.
What makes the experience so mysterious?
You will interact with the mystery the minute you enter the room because the show's actors are part of the audience. They will not be wearing costumes. So, you won't know who is a regular patron and who will end up playing out the mystery.
You may even become part of the cast yourself! Who knows? But it's sure to be a blast and a fun evening out with plenty of surprises. The Dinner Detective will get you out of the hum-drum of sitting normally in a restaurant eating an uneventful meal.
