The Murder Mystery Co's Dinner Theater Show

The Murder Mystery Co is bringing its interactive dinner theater to The Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Phoenix, with the first show on Friday, October 30. It's a comedic whodunit that plays out around you while you eat, and the company describes it as a live-action version of Clue.

The room becomes the crime scene, and you're part of the story rather than just watching it. A three-course meal is served throughout the evening, and the mystery unfolds around the tables. Some guests are picked as suspects, while others work with their table team to piece together the clues and solve the crime. It's a group effort, so you'll be talking to the people at your table as much as you're watching the stage.

The venue is a downtown Phoenix landmark with more than a century of history. The building opened in 1921 as two separate residences, the Cole Mansion and the Baker House, which were later joined and reimagined as the pasta destination it is today. Inside, you'll find antique lighting, intricate stained glass, and large colorful booths. There's even a restored Phoenix Railway trolley car where guests can dine.

Beyond this run, The Murder Mystery Co also hosts private murder mystery events at venues of the guests' choice for corporate outings, team building, weddings, and other celebrations. The company has been featured on ABC's Shark Tank.

There are seven dates to choose from: Friday, October 30 at 7:30 PM; Saturday, November 7 at 7:00 PM; Friday, November 13 at 7:30 PM; Friday, November 20 at 7:30 PM; Friday, December 4 at 7:30 PM; Friday, December 11 at 7:30 PM; and Friday, December 18 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $69 plus fees per person, and the show is at The Old Spaghetti Factory, 1418 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
