The Murder Mystery Company’s thrilling performances challenge diners to exercise detective skills in an evening of mock murder and faux fatalities that unfold over a three-course meal. Between an introductory house salad and a mystery dessert denouement, guests nosh on slow-roasted, tender sliced beef, special-recipe chicken, or vegetarian en croute served buffet-style. As mouths occupy themselves, the comic mystery begins with a murder, and a detective arrives on the scene to locate the perpetrator in the audience. Tablemates work together to clear their good names, sleuthing and sorting out clues to flex critical-thinking skills and prepare themselves for futures as presidents of the Agatha Christie fan club. Detective work pays off with a final dessert course, and drink specials throughout the evening fuel detective skills for solving the mystery of what the bottom of one’s glass looks like.
