How does a Partners In Crime Murder Mystery Dinner work?
A. Typically, an evening starts around 6:00 pm with a cash bar. Part of the action takes place during this time. Dinner is somewhere around 7:00 and more events unfold throughout it. The action typically climaxes during the dessert course. We take a 10-15 minute break over coffee, during which time the various tables work as groups to study the clues, interrogate the suspects, and try to deduce the solution (murderer, method, motive). At the end of the break, a spokesperson for each group presents its solution and then we finish up with the “real” solution. We’re usually done around 9:30 or 10:00, depending on how involved the guests get, and how the timing/serving of the dinner goes.
