You enter a banquet room where the lights sit low and a murmured crowd leans toward their plates — silverware clinks, servers move with practiced calm, and somewhere in the room a laugh sounds a beat too rehearsed. The Dinner Detective stages the evening like a small scale crime scene: actors mingle in the audience, detectives interrogate tables, and clues pop up between courses. The energy shifts from curious to conspiratorial as the room narrows in on the culprit.
