You're enjoying a meal. Then a nearby table erupts. Two customers appear to be arguing. Then there's shoving. One man shoves the other to the floor. He rises, grabs a knife, and stabs the other man in the chest. But wait, things may not be what they seem, at least not according to the police detective who rushes onto the scene. The deceased didn't die of a knife wound, he's been shot in the head. Did you hear a gun shot? Such is a dining experience during a murder mystery dinner.
Murder mystery shows are an old tradition. Combined with dinner theater, these shows are interactive and often held at smaller venues. It's an evening of good food and good fun. The meal quickly becomes an intricate game. A variety of types of mysteries exist. The most basic involves interacting with the actors but not being asked to engage in solving the murder. A second form is one in which guests try to solve the case. These can become very complex.
There are mystery parties and even mystery weekends. They've even been explored in popular media. One example has been done a few times in television and movies. People invited to a party die one by one. Murder by Death is a funny comedy based on that premise. Sometimes a staged mystery becomes a real crime in these shows. Adrian Monk, a TV detective, on his show was banned from a mystery weekend for solving the case in under five minutes.
Spooky places often host these mystery dinners. Some murder mystery theater groups say that real murders have happened in their facility. It adds to the general fun even when not true. People may not believe it, but they play along for the duration.
