My hubby took me to the mystery dinner for our 2nd month anniversary date. It was an amazing experience and he ended up being the murderer! We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory on South Waterfront. The location was beautiful for date night. Loved about it: It was nice to get into the character and be on the set of a real life clue game. Loved how we everyone was dressed for the Masquerade Billionaire Club Ball. It really added to the whole ambience. People actually got into character! Loved to see how everyone acted and showed emotions. Drawbacks: The people on our table were a little shy (on their 2nd/3rd date) and weren't participating as much so that was a drawback for us. Food was so/so but again we were there for the experience and not the food and that is where I took away a star. They were a little loose with the directions with what to do with money or who should respond how. Now we are looking forward to next time because we know what to do. They took mugshots in the beginning and during the event and promised to send us the link to the pictures via email. We never got them :( take your own pictures! Tips: Its all about the guests! Be involved in it and have fun. Going in a group would be fun. Its fun to see how your friends/other couples act/react in different situations. Talk and mingle with other. read more

Our first dinner murder mystery experience and we had a blast. The characters were fun and engaging and the food was delicious. The only down fall was the lack of all the clues, as well as short amount of time to solve the mystery. After the killer was revelaed and the reason why it was evident that the evidence we would have needed to come to that solution was in the killer's hand most the night. We are definitly going to go again once there is a new "show". read more

See all

Our Mystery Dinner was held at the Old Spaghetti Factory on the south waterfront. It was so much fun! The performers were great and really kept the game going. They were in full character and dressed up. I would recommend getting dressed up and just going with the flow as a participant. Please don't bring kids to this event. Our show started at 7pm and you are asked to arrive a half earlier. The event ended at 10pm. There was one table with like 5 kids ranging from 3-17 years old. It was just too long of an event for them to sit still and I would say that they didn't participate or care to. They were disruptive and I didn't feel it was appropriate for them to be there. The rest of the crowd was having dinner and drinks, the kids just didn't belong. From a participants perspective, I would advise the company to designate these events as adult only or something like that. The timing of dinner, salad, and desert was spot on. The food was ok but I have never really been impressed with Old Spaghetti Factory food. We weren't there for the food, we were there for the event and it exceeded expectations. I would recommend this event to everyone. Go and have fun! read more

I love mystery dinners and use them as birthday gifts so I don't have to go alone hehehe. Tickets to an experience here make a great gift for everyone. I'm so happy that this is still done. Really, everything entertaining requires tech of some sort, but this is a centuries-old form of entertainment. I hope it never dies. read more

We had a BLAST at the Eddie May Murder Mystery Dinner Theater! The show delivers, as does the food. We had a delicious four couse meal complete with entertainment for a very affordable price. The show that we saw was hilarious!!! Lots of interaction with the cast - it was great. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a fun night out. The staff (Kim) was very helpful and explained everything up front when I was ordering my tickets. And the actors made everyone feel welcome. We took the train down from Seattle to Portland and made a weekend out of it. An excellent value and a really fun night out.. read more

I had a great time, the cast was super energetic and rolled with all the punches! I think I know what I'm going to ask to go for my next birthday! read more

My wife surprised me with a Murder Mystery dinner! Was awesome! I love mystery murder stuff and this was the perfect anniversary present. All the characters were great and the story line was awesome! The characters were super engaging and the food was also really good. The only thing I would say is our table missed out on some of the clues because other tables were holding onto them instead of either passing them around or setting them up on the clue table. I would love to go back again and maybe take my family. It was an over all great experience. read more

What a horrible experience! We bought our tickets via Groupon for the Cocktail Party. We arrived at the venue at 7pm per the Groupon only to discover that that venue had closed months BEFORE we bought the Groupon. Neither Groupon nor Eddie May informed us of the change of venue. When we finally figured out and arrived at the correct venue, 1) the show didn't start until 8pm and we were told we could wait in the restaurant bar (Wow! what a great idea for a Cocktail Party!) by a very RUDE hostess, 2) the manager that we spoke to didn't even offer any excuses. She told us that the original venue had been closed for months and didn't seem to care that this was quite the inconvenience to us to rush across town twice, 3) the show was... truly mediocre... one of the 'singers' could NOT sing... at all... the humor was staid and trite. What a waste of an evening! read more

We went to the show at Kel's Irish Pub. The actors screeched, whined, and yelled the whole time. It was hard to understand what they were saying. We bought the groupon coupon and thought we would get dinner. We misunderstood the dinner/show. We just had water. I think you have to enjoy it while under the influence of alcohol. We don't drink. I would never let my kids act like that, and I would never want to watch others behave like this. There were six of us in our party, and we couldn't wait for it to be over. read more

This is a fraud place. I had ordered a groupon with some friends and they wouldn't honor it. They said they would only take 1 groupon per event, which was not stated in the order at all. Even she couldn't find it it the groupon. She refused to honor them. Also very hard to place the order originally, they don't have an online request. Barely answer the phone. read more

We went to the Eddie May Dinner Show this week and I mainly gave it 3 stars due to the actors doing the best they could with what they had. Otherwise I would have given it 2 stars. The idea is great and the food is good but the execution not so good. First, take credit cards, really, and not with a 15% fee. In fact, it would be best if you made it so people could buy tickets online. I had to call three times to get tickets. If the person I was going with hadn't been so set on going I would have given up. Send an email a week ahead to remind people, suggest they wear costumes and tell them how it all works - especially if you are going to expect people to pay cash. Since this was to take place in a speakeasy, skip the dinner and just have cocktails. The dinner was distracting and people missed much of the performance. It wasn't until the dinner was out of the way that people started getting more involved. Plus it would lower the cost - it wasn't worth $60 a ticket. With it more like a theatre there could be more clues in the performance and not so much in all the stuff that got passed around and we could have more acting and less songs - it was one or two too many. But again, the actors were great. I think either up the experience or lower the price. And make it easier to do business with you. read more
