via The Dinner Detective

You’ll find many places in Virginia Beach where you can have a lovely dinner, but there is only one place to have a uniquely hilarious time while feasting on a four-course meal — the Dinner Detective. Here, actors hidden in the audience orchestrate an interactive comedy, where “detectives” help patrons solve a murder mystery. The top sleuth is awarded a prize. What a hoot!


Tickets for the dinner and mystery combo are $60. Shows run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. every other Saturday night. The location of the Dinner Detective is 1900 Pavilion Drive. Visit the website for tickets.
