Dinner murder mystery theater combines several favorable literary genres—the deliciousness of a cookbook, the interactive abilities of a Choose Your Own Adventure novel, and the suspense of a farmer’s almanac. Cook up a perfect evening with today’s Groupon for dinner and a show from The Murder Mystery Co., hosted by Club 162 in Wrigleyville. Choose between the following options:
- For $70, you get two tickets to a murder-mystery dinner and performance (a $140 value).
- For $135, you get four tickets to a murder-mystery dinner and performance (a $280 value).<p>
The sleuthing gourmands at The Murder Mystery Co. liven up three-course dinners with interactive intrigue. During the two-hour show, one member of the party will meet a comical end, leaving the other guests to solve the crime and finish the recently departed’s leftovers. Set amongst the Mafioso families of the 1920s, the mystery gets guests to connect with their inner mobsters as they attend an exclusive party at Plunkett’s, a speakeasy owned by notorious gangster Ed Malone. In between gasps and accusatory monologues, guests dine from a menu of buffet-style fare. Salad and garlic bread accompany meat or vegetarian pasta entrees, an array of sides, and humble pie served to self-righteous detectives. Although not included with this Groupon, alcoholic drinks and libations will be available for purchase at Club 162 during the show.
