The Dinner Detective brings its true-crime comedy to The Breakfast Company in Bradenton, serving the Sarasota area with a mystery where the cast is hidden in plain sight. There are no costumes and no stage, just a room full of guests, a crime committed in real time, and a killer somewhere among you.

Detectives keep the investigation moving throughout the evening while you enjoy a buffet-style dinner and a steady stream of clues, comedy, and red herrings. Ask questions, trust your instincts, and turn in your answer form before the reveal. The guest who comes closest to solving it wins the Top Sleuth prize package. It's a fun fit for anniversaries, birthdays, bachelorette parties, and team outings.
