The Dinner Detective, a murder mystery dinner theatre troupe in Oregon, hosts monthly interactive shows at this PDX hotel.

Guests join The Dinner Detective company for what starts off as an auspicious, four-course meal.

The dinner begins, and guests are treated to a variety of appetizers.

The dinner menu is "Top Chef" level, and includes dishes like pan-fried trout, mushroom ragu, and herbed polenta.

But somewhere along the way, the evening takes a terrible turn.

There's been a murder, and someone in the room did it!

The room is sealed off, and the authorities are called in.

Guests are given name tags and scripts, and must get to the bottom of the murder mystery.

Working together, tables of people who started out as strangers, are now detectives trying to get to the bottom of the mystery. One of them may even be the murderer him or herself!

By the end of the night, *someone* will be found guilty. Who will it be??

The Dinner Detective's shows are a fun way for folks to abandon their inhibitions and have a little fun.
