Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner — Week of June 5

The Dinner Detective is advertising an interactive murder mystery dinner experience in Daytona Beach for June 2026, with the company describing the event as a live true-crime comedy staged with actors planted among paying guests. The show is listed in Hometown News Volusia’s week-of-June-5 entertainment roundup, which points readers to ticket information for the event. The company’s Daytona Beach page says each ticket includes its signature murder mystery performance, a full plated dinner, waitstaff gratuity and audience participation throughout the night. The Dinner Detective says the format differs from a traditional stage production because the performers are “hidden in the audience” rather than dressed in obvious costume. ### How does the show work once guests arrive? The Dinner Detective says the central gimmick is that audience members are not separated cleanly from the cast. On its Daytona Beach page, the company says the culprit is “hiding in plain sight” and that guests themselves may become “Prime Suspects” as the story unfolds. The company describes the production as a live interactive true-crime comedy. That means diners are expected to watch for clues, question what they are seeing and try to solve the staged crime before the reveal at the end of the performance. ### What is included in the ticket price? Each ticket includes a complete dinner and the live show, according to the company’s Daytona Beach listing. The Dinner Detective also says waitstaff gratuity is built into the ticket and that the evening includes additional surprises during the performance. The company markets the event as an adults-oriented night out rather than a conventional theater seat-and-stage production. Its website says the hidden-actor format is intended to create a more social and immersive experience for guests in the room. ### Where is the Daytona Beach event being held? The Dinner Detective’s ticket page lists Daytona Beach performances at The Shores Resort & Spa, 2637 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach, Florida 32118. A June 20, 2026 performance is listed on the ticketing page from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern, with the script identified as “Game Over.” The company says its Daytona Beach operation is one of more than 100 cities where it presents shows across North America. Its website says the brand has been staging live murder mystery dinner shows since 2004. ### Why did this show appear in a week-of-June-5 local events roundup? Hometown News Volusia included the murder mystery dinner in its entertainment listings for the week of June 5, 2026, directing readers to event and ticket information. The listing matches the broad description on The Dinner Detective’s own site, including the hidden-actor format and the inclusion of dinner with admission. The timing suggests the event was being promoted locally as part of that week’s entertainment options, even though the company’s ticketing page shows June performances extending beyond June 5 itself. ### What should guests know before booking? The Dinner Detective says the show is designed as an interactive evening in which anyone in the room could be part of the plot. The company’s Daytona Beach page says that setup is meant to make the experience different from a traditional murder mystery dinner theater, where actors are typically easy to identify. Tickets and scheduling information are available through The Dinner Detective’s Daytona Beach ticket page, while Hometown News Volusia’s week-of-June-5 roundup provides the local listing that flagged the event for readers. A June 20, 2026 show is already listed online at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, and the company says additional details, including showtimes and policies, are available through its Daytona Beach pages.
