Did you hear a gun shot? The murder mystery dinner is now in full swing.
Murder mystery shows are an old tradition. Combined with dinner theater, these shows are interactive and often held at smaller venues. People love to eat and to try to solve a mystery. They can eat their steak and like Sherlock Holmes engage their minds once the game is afoot. There are many styles of mysteries. The most basic involves interacting with the actors but not being asked to engage in solving the murder. Another is a game in which the diners have to discover clues to solve the murder. Sometimes a guest or two are even in on the secret, asked to join the cast for the performance.
