Richmond’s entertainment landscape is changing with The Dinner Detective, North America’s largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner show that transforms an ordinary night out into a crime-solving adventure. Now performing in Richmond, this experience invites local residents to solve a mystery while enjoying a meal in an atmosphere of suspense. With tickets starting at just $65.99, participants become active members of a theatrical investigation where anyone could be a suspect—including guests themselves.
The Experience
The Dinner Detective differs from traditional dinner theater by eliminating obvious costumes and predictable scenarios. Instead, actors hide among the guests, creating an authentic atmosphere where everyone becomes a potential culprit. Richmond locals looking for something beyond the usual restaurant experience will appreciate this blend of entertainment and dining that engages all participants. The show’s interactive format encourages guests to sharpen their observational skills and deductive reasoning while forming impromptu alliances with fellow diners-turned-detectives. It is an ideal outing for date nights, group celebrations, or simply breaking the routine.
Save the Dates
Mark your calendars for upcoming performances of “Game Over,” the current mystery script being performed at The Dinner Detective Richmond. Shows are scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2025, and Saturday, May 31, 2025, with more dates to be announced in the coming weeks. The Dinner Detective operates year-round on weekend nights, offering Richmond residents consistent access to this distinctive entertainment option. For those planning ahead, it’s worth noting that show dates are typically posted for sale 8-12 weeks in advance, allowing plenty of time to coordinate groups and make arrangements.
Secure Your Spot
Securing your spot at this popular event requires advance planning, as ticket sales close at 1:30 PM on the day of each performance. Currently, seating remains available for both the May 3 and May 31 shows, but interested parties are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be purchased online through The Dinner Detective’s website, with the “Get Tickets” button providing direct access to the reservation system. While the base ticket price starts at $65.99, potential attendees should be aware that local taxes and fees will be added at checkout, and pricing may increase for certain high-demand dates and holidays.
