Clue, the famous mystery game we all know and love, got its start in 1944. It was an engaging way for families to embrace their inner super-sleuth while maintaining a connection with the mundane nature of detective work. After all, none of the playable characters in the game claim to be detectives like Sherlock Holmes… they’re professors, housekeepers, and people just like you and me. This lifelike approach is what makes the game so engaging, and it’s also what makes the best murder mystery dinner in Cleveland so much fun. Think you have what it takes to bring down the bad guy… or will you end up accused of being the culprit? Put your skills to the test at The Dinner Detective in Cleveland.
The Dinner Detective brings crime and mystery to cities across the nation... and Cleveland is one of them.

They'll be dressed in street clothes, just like you, or perhaps dressed up a little in anticipation of a nice dinner. But, as these shows are audience-engaging, you just might become the prime suspect.
Dress code is business casual to dressy casual, and jeans are considered appropriate. You never know who to regard with suspicion! However, you can convince the audience to suspect a member of your party. Claim The Suspect Package when you buy your tickets and turn a member of your group into an actor!
This 18+ event (although open to teenagers 15 and up with adult supervision) takes place on select dates at the luxurious Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland Downtown.
As the audience is pulled into the performance, you can expect some adult language and the occasional loud noise to make its way into the event. While this may not be the best place to take the kids, it makes for a really unique date night.
This event tends to sell out weeks in advance, so you'll want to grab your tickets as soon as possible.
The event spans about three hours in total, often taking place on Friday or Saturday nights between 6 and 9 p.m. or 7 and 10 p.m. Plus, the evening includes a mouthwatering entree (which, of course, can cater to dietary restrictions or allergies if alerted in advance), salad, appetizers, dessert, and tea and coffee.
