Current Showtimes
The Murder Mystery Company has been producing live, interactive murder mystery entertainment since 2002, bringing Public Murder Mystery Dinner Shows to audiences throughout the United States. If you're searching for an unforgettable dinner theater experience in Philadelphia, our Public Murder Mystery Dinner Shows combine a delicious three-course meal with professional live actors and an interactive mystery where every table helps solve the crime.
Forget sitting quietly through a traditional stage performance. Instead, you'll question suspicious characters, collect clues, compare evidence with your teammates, and decide who committed the murder before the investigation reaches its conclusion.
Whether you're planning a date night, celebrating a birthday, entertaining out-of-town guests, or searching for one of the most unique things to do in Philadelphia, this is The Event Everyone is Dying to Attend.
Can you catch the killer before they strike again?
The mystery begins before you finish your first course.
Some guests may be invited to portray suspects using simple character information and light costume pieces, while everyone else joins the investigation by questioning suspects, examining clues, comparing evidence, and discussing theories with their table.
Our professional actors lead the story from beginning to end, ensuring the mystery is easy to follow whether it's your first visit or your tenth.
More Than Dinner. An Interactive Experience.
Your ticket includes:
A live, interactive murder mystery performed by professional actors
A delicious three-course dinner
Interactive clues, suspect interviews, and audience participation
Comedy, mystery, and live theatrical entertainment
The opportunity to solve the mystery before the final reveal
Because every audience interacts differently, no two performances are ever exactly alike.
The audience changes. The suspects change. The accusations change. The laughter never does.
Every Visit Brings a New Mystery
No two investigations are the same.
Throughout the year you'll encounter different storylines, unforgettable characters, glamorous masquerade balls, 1920s speakeasies, 1980s rock concerts, holiday parties, weddings gone wrong, and many other themed adventures.
Returning guests enjoy solving new mysteries with fresh clues, different suspects, and unexpected twists every time they visit.
It’s no surprise guests return again and again to experience our ever-changing themes and mysteries.
New Themes Throughout the Year.
Every month features a different mystery filled with new suspects, fresh storylines, hilarious characters, and exciting surprises. Travel from a glamorous Billionaire’s Masquerade Ball to a 1920s Mafia Wedding, an Old Hollywood gala, an ’80s Battle of the Bands, a Wedding Gone Wrong, or a festive Holiday Party.
Costumes are encouraged—but never required.
More Than Dinner. A Live Interactive Experience.
