If you’ve ever dreamed of channeling your inner detective while enjoying a hearty meal, Orlando has a surprise for you—and it’s not just hiding in plain sight. Welcome to Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows, a lively night of comedy, crime-solving, and comfort food tucked along the bustling International Drive.

This isn’t your average dinner out. At Sleuths, you become part of the action. Imagine sitting down for a meal when—gasp!—a murder occurs just a few tables over. The characters? Zany. The clues? Deliciously misleading. The laughs? Non-stop. It’s dinner theater with a twist, and it’s been delighting locals and visitors alike for over 30 years.

What We Love

Interactive Theater That Pulls You In
Forget just watching from the sidelines—Sleuths makes you a guest at the party and a suspect in the mystery. You’ll chat with kooky characters, analyze evidence, and even get to ask questions that might just crack the case wide open.

Comedy That’s Cheeky, Not Cheesy
The shows are delightfully over-the-top, filled with improv moments, big personalities, and jokes that land well for both adults and teens. Think “Clue” meets “Golden Girls” with a sprinkle of Florida flair.

Hearty Meals with a Side of Suspense
You’ll enjoy a full dinner (choices typically include prime rib, lasagna, or a vegetarian pasta) along with a salad, dessert, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks. The food is tasty and filling—exactly what you want before (or after) solving a mystery.

Clue-Filled Keepsakes and Souvenirs
From silly detective hats to punny t-shirts, the gift shop offers plenty of fun mementos to take home. And yes, you can buy the official Sleuths mug—because no great detective works without a cup of something hot.

Atmosphere & Setting

Walking into Sleuths feels like stepping into a quirky neighborhood theater mixed with an old-school Florida banquet hall. There’s a nostalgic charm to the venue, with cozy booths, round tables set for mingling, and cheerful waitstaff in on the joke. The stage is modest but perfectly suited for the intimate nature of the show, and the entire space buzzes with anticipation and laughter. The lighting is warm and inviting, with jazzy lounge music floating through before the curtain rises.

Value (Is It Worth It?)

Tickets range from about $70–$80 per adult, with discounts for kids and group bookings. That includes the full show, a three-course meal, and unlimited drinks—making it a pretty solid deal for an evening’s worth of food and entertainment in Orlando. Most shows last around 2.5 hours, and time flies when you’re interrogating a southern belle or accusing your cousin of foul play. It’s ideal for families with older kids, couples who love a laugh, or any travelers looking to do something a little different than the theme park circuit.

Other Considerations

Parking is free and easy, with a dedicated lot out front.
Showtimes vary, but most evenings have a 6 or 7 PM start—so arrive early to check in, grab a drink, and settle in.
Accessibility is good overall, with ramp access and flexible seating options.
Food allergies? They’re very accommodating—just note it when you book.
Dress code? Casual is totally fine, but a few folks like to dress up for fun. (Yes, detective trench coats are welcome.)
