Orlando, FL - 12/26-12/31, Choose Your Dates! Speakeasy Murder Mystery Dinner Show
2025-12-26 00:00 - 2026-12-31 23:59 (America/New_York) | TEATRO MARTINI, 6400 Carrier Drive, Orlando, FL, 32819, United States
MULTIPLE DATES (Choose your Own!)
Step back in time to the roaring 1920s and prepare for an unforgettable experience at The Speakeasy Murder & Other Acts of Prohibition in Orlando, Florida! As soon as the doors open, the action begins. Arrive early to soak in the lively atmosphere of a New York nightclub, complete with music, comfortable seating, signature cocktails and delicious food crafted for the occasion. The room buzzes with bootleggers, gangsters, and flappers dancing The Charleston. But don’t get too comfortable—this isn’t just any night at the club. When the music stops, someone is going to be murdered, and you’ll be right in the thick of it.
With colorful characters weaving through the audience, this is more than a show; it’s an interactive experience. Each guest can play detective (or accomplice) as much or as little as they wish. Bribes, secrets, and surprises are the currency of the evening, and every twist depends on your votes. Will the killer be unmasked, or will they get away with it? In this world of jazz, prohibition, and back-alley deals, nothing is what it seems. For the next two hours, eat, drink, laugh, and solve the crime—but remember, at this notorious speakeasy, someone always ends up swimmin’ with the fishes and someone else is headed to the big house!
Although the show takes place in a fictitious nightclub, the material is suitable for audiences 12 and older.

Admission to “Jewel” (our pre and post show venue for music, casino games and more), admission to the show, our prix fixe, three-course meal and “speakeasy money” to bribe the characters for inside information!

Highlights

We aim to make every guest feel welcome. By design, the audience feels like they are a part of the show without the pressure of “forced participation”.
The performance venue is the Teatro Martini. The tables and chairs are arranged in a way so that all the action is visible from every seat. Plus the venue is intimate (seating is limited to a maximum 165 – guests). At your table you’ll find bribe money to use to talk with the characters if you wish. You’ll also find clues as to whodunnit.

The interactive experience culminates in a thrilling reveal, where the true identity of the culprit is unmasked, Santa Claus is rescued, and holiday joy is restored on the Grande Strand.

Do I have to participate in the show?
The entire show is interactive. For the very best experience, please understand that the show is interactive in nature and you may be involved! Our guests are encouraged to participate (it’s way more fun that way!), but it is not required! However, since our actors are hidden in the audience, other audience members may interact with and interrogate you on their own.

How do I know if I’ve gotten good seats?
All seats are good seats, since the show takes place all around you! Our actors are seated all around the room, possibly at your table. We also ensure each table gets to see every clue and witness every important scene, so all guests have an equal chance to solve the mystery!

Can I get a member of my party involved in the show?
Yes! The Suspect Package is a great way to get your party directly involved in the mystery! This OPTIONAL package lets you SECRETLY frame one member of your party without their knowledge. Because our performers are not dressed up in costume, we will use your guest as a red herring to frame them as a Prime Suspect in the case. The package has a one-time per-party fee that varies by location and has limited availability. If the Suspect Packages are not sold out for your desired show date, you may add one to your reservation before checkout.

Is The Dinner Detective good for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, group events, holidays, Valentine’s Day, etc.?
Yes! We host dozens of special groups and events each year, including wedding anniversaries, marriage proposals (100% acceptance rate and counting!), private work events, and so much more. To find out more, please click HERE to visit our private event page!

How big are your tables? Can my entire group sit together?
Yes, we can seat your group together! All guests will be assigned seats at up to 10-person round banquet tables (table size may change without notice dependent on booked space and size of event; please contact us for details). If you have multiple parties making separate reservations, please ask your party members to mention the last name of your original party in the Party Seating Request section during the order process. If your group is larger than 10 guests, we will do our best to split the group equally and seat you at adjacent tables unless otherwise instructed. Please contact us if you have specific concerns about table size or seating arrangements. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee seating requests will be honored unless we are notified of those requests at the time of your order!

Can you accommodate dietary illnesses and allergies (gluten free, vegan, etc.)?
Yes! Our venues and their kitchens are able to accommodate allergies and illnesses, such as gluten free, vegan, etc. We request that you note any allergies or illnesses when placing your order so that we may accommodate you. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee dietary illnesses or allergies will be honored unless we are notified of those restrictions/allergies at the time of your order! Some dinner courses (tray-passed appetizers, etc.) may not be prepared per dietary restrictions, and DD locations with buffet service will have allergen information labeled or available at the venue; please contact us with questions.

Can I change my entree order(s)?
Yes! You may change your entree order(s) with at least 4 days notice. No fees will be charged. Please contact us to make arrangements. No entree changes may be made less than 4 days before the show, including at the show itself, so plan ahead!

Can I reschedule my reservations?
Yes! Click HERE to reschedule your reservations. You may reschedule your reservation(s) to another show date with at least 7 days notice. A non-refundable $20/ticket transfer fee is required. No rescheduling is allowed less than 7 days before the show.

Can I get a refund?
No. Once your purchase has been completed, all sales are final! We cannot refund or cancel any orders due to our theatrical and venue contracts.

What about severe weather issues?
In keeping with our venue and actor contracts, our shows cannot and will not be cancelled unless the venue decides to cancel on their end, in which case we will contact all guests with further instructions.

I have pending charges on my account after a declined transaction – what’s up with that?
Many banks & credit card providers place funds on hold after a declined transaction. The Dinner Detective does not have access to and cannot refund or reverse these pending charges, and they should be removed from your account within a few business days. For more information, please contact your bank or credit card provider.

How do I request an ADA interpreter?
At The Dinner Detective, we are committed to doing our best to make sure that all our patrons have an enjoyable and accessible experience. If you have any questions regarding accessibility or accommodations, we will need at least 21 days notice prior to the event date to see if the accommodations/accessibilities can be made. Due to the financial burdens on a small business, we cannot guarantee the support. Please email our producers via the Contact Us page with as much detailed information as possible and we will certainly do our best.

Do you produce shows for private parties & company events?
Yes! We specialize in and produce corporate functions on a regular basis. To find out more, please click HERE to visit our private event page!
