We had a Murder Mystery by way of ZOOM through my employer. Eric, with the MM Company was great! He really has a lot to coordinate between breakout rooms and directing how the mystery unfolds. He did a great job and really played his own part as our Detective very well. It really added to the experience. Thanks Eric and Murder Mystery Company! COVID be da#ned! One day I'll participate in an in-person MM Company dinner . I've seen the logo before but never had the chance to participate.

This was such a long experience. It lasted 4 hours! And it could have been over in 2! But the beginning is a waste of time just milling around. They spend so much time taking photos and then later coming around one by one with overpriced prints (that hardly anyone buys!!!) that we were all turned off from ever returning. Put the mystery and dinner first, not upselling! We were very disappointed because of how unnecessary the in-between "events" were. Start dinner promptly at 7, the show at 725, and don't bring photos around but tell people they are available for viewing during the break or at the end. Or better yet! Include the print in the price since we all know what it costs to print them--and you end up just throwing them out anyway! So wasteful. And the food was mediocre at best. My food was cold and heavily black-peppered. The actors were nice, but could have done more to speed things up. There is no reason why we are now having to pay our babysitter for 5 hours (travel time too!) when we had planned on 3.5!

Our host, Jordan, was great playing the role of detective and walking us through this experience. The production value was top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire event!

We did the zoom call and legit had the BEST of times, we had a super large party and split it into 2 rooms. Both detectives were AWESOME! Detective Perry Ness with the Louisiana accent was THE BOMB!

The Murder Mystery part of the evening was entertaining. What wasn't so great was our cramped seating and they were short on staff so service was slow. They also "ran out of most of their wines the night before" so very limited on choices. They might have been running out of food too, because we were one of the last tables served and our plates looked pretty sparse compared to others in the room. Good thing we were there on a Groupon, but still not sure it was worth the amount paid.

We did a murder mystery party on Zoom as a team event for work. Brandon did an amazing job pulling even the most resistant of us out of our shell and into the activity. It was a huge hit and I'm already getting requests to setup more events!

Such a fun way to connect with friends virtually during the pandemic. Eric was a great host. We laughed, someone got murdered, and we tried our best to solve the crime. Great way to spend a Saturday night.

This was my first experience with a murder mystery dinner theater and I had a great time! I'm glad I chose to spend our money on this Groupon grab. I suggest guests take full part in dressing up for the act and a willingness to play the part. The Murder Mystery crew was very nice even before the show began. The show was entertaining if you took the cues and interacted with the actors and investigation. Overall, our experience was near perfect. If I could this 4.5 stars I would've in reality but also felt the experience was worth more than 4 too. What knocked the overall experience was slow & sulky service from the venue staff except for the owner ironically. Our experience from the food provided by Stanfords & Sons who hosted the Dinner Theater Performance was below expectations compare to the rest of the evening. My chicken meal was very disappointing and worst of all...ice cold. My girlfriends pasta was a bit better from my sample since it was warm. We were the last table served and it was obvious. Our meals were small but could've been okay to brag about if the food was hot or had much taste. I want to include in this review also acknowledging the complete surprise when shortly after the conclusion the performance, Murder Mystery Staff announced our names as 'Best Dressed in Costume' and presented my girlfriend & I our award paper complete with title! I hope you all read this at the Murder Mystery crew... This next is for you particularly. I chose this date because she loves to dress up and cosplay but she hasn't had much of a reason to celebrate lately as both mother and close aunt lost their battle to cancer within this 2016-2017 period. After completely surprising us with announcing us (HER) as 'Best Dressed', my girlfriend could hardly contain her tears of joy and happiness the whole way home back down towards I-70. Her smile never left that rest of the night I do believe. For that, this long review is my thanks to you! You helped make her night magical and a memory she will always look back on with a smile... Food & service stunk from the venue staff but the Murder Mystery Theater part was above and beyond in courtesy and fun! You MUST try it at least once!

Jordan and Atlie, did a great job for our company mystery event. It was awesome, they were witty, funny and helped us through the event. Such a fun event and would totally do it again.

Went to the Hollywood mystery themed dinner this last weekend at Belvoir winery. The building was cool, the show was imersive, however the food really sucked. Dinner was very cheep, not a great temperature and felt like a very poorly executed rehearsal dinner. For the price we paid I'd expect something decent, not top of the line but decent. The dinner served just felt like a cost cutting measure. If anything just have appetizers and drinks if the business model can't support a decent dinner. Not sure the price point justified this.

The entertainment was great! Being able to dress the part and interact and participate in finding the murderer was so much fun! The only thing I was NOT impressed with was the dinner; it was a joke. Also, you should offer free ice water or iced tea with the meal. I will definitely go again, but will never pay full price.

This is a fun and memorable exprerience that no one should miss. The group that puts on the performance are wonderful at becoming the characters in the story and engaging everyone in the room with solving clues and identifying suspects. We've been a murder mystery dinner twice now and thoroughly enjoyed both times. No doubt, we'll go again!!

It was a entertaining and interactive experience, although I think it would have been more fun as a birthday party. The acting wasn't spectacular, but the setup was fun to get to mingle and seek out clues. I just wish they hadn't called it a Dinner Theatre. We definitely left hungry: the portions were tiny, they didn't have the gluten-free option that I had ordered, and my confirmation email said there would be three courses when there were only two. Still, if your expectations for dinner are low, it's a fun night out to spend with friends or family.

We did this murder mystery with our team from work virtually and it was AWESOME! Both detectives Rachel Chambers & Jay Isabell were absolutely amazing, super nice and made the whole experience so fun! We look forward to doing this with all the teams at our entire FOC!

I purchased the Gold Circle upgrade and when we showed up, the host didn't have an updated guest list, so they did not have it set up for us, but had to look into it further to find the updated status. Other than not getting the close up seats I paid for, it was an amazing experience. It was interactive and they accomadated the best they could (for gold circle) and we had a blast! Would definitely recommend!

This was definitely a fun team building event. The host does a great job at fitting the part all together as a detective and is patient with us. This got us to step out of our comfort zone and be goofy which again helps build our overall team relationship. I highly recommend and advise to really just let loose and be the part of your role. Enjoy life... enjoy these moments
