ABOUT


HOW THE MYSTERY WORKS

Be immersed in a live-action Cluedo event, where we set the scene and you catch the killer!


Join us and be transported to 1920 in downtown New York City. You are cordially invited to the most prestigious party at The Manhattan Mirage, where a murderer is on the loose. Put your detective hat on and interrogate the suspects, follow the clues and examine the evidence to crack the case! This immersive dinner theatre experience where the characters are played by professional actors, takes the traditional murder mystery to the next level.


How it works:Upon arrival you will be greeted by our host and directed to your table where you will receive your glass of vino. The show will begin to unfold before you and an unexpected murder will take place. Shortly after, the detective will arrive and close off the crime scene and identify the suspects, and you will be served your meal. During your dinner, you will assist the lead detective in interrogating the suspects and gather important clues; once the coroner has released the medical report, you will examine the incriminating evidence. At the end of the evening, you will decide who you think the murderer is and the guilty party will be arrested.


Dress up: 1920s. There will be prizes for the best dressed, the first sleuth to crack the case and the best social media post from the event!

Review: It’s All Fun & Games With Dinners To Die For

I do a lot of stuff. Like, A LOT. All the time. So sometimes it’s a little difficult for me to be impressed. Which is terrible, I know, and I feel like a dork even saying it. But it’s true. The good thing, though, is that if something genuinely fantastic comes along, I’ll be over the moon. And that’s exactly the experience I had with the Dinners To Die For experience at Bu Ya Ramen & Sake Bar this past weekend.

Murder Mystery Dinner at La Bottega
December 9, 2018

Looking for a bloody good night out in Cape Town full of mystery, suspense and excitement?

The moment you walk through the door you will be immersed in a thrilling experience, mingling with crazy characters and shady suspects in a game of murder you get to play! On arrival you receive a welcome drink as you browse through a selection of props and costumes to help you get into character. Prior to the event a character brief is sent to all guests involved that includes anything from background and alibi, to the relationship with the victim. There are a total of eight to ten suspects at each table. As soon as everyone is seated, the mystery will begin. The Police Chief and Detective will lead the investigation, providing extra clues throughout the event. There are also a couple of clues scattered around the table to help with the investigation. As you gather all the clues you can interrogate suspects around the table to gain more information. All suspects must answer truthfully according to their scripts. The lies are built into the script so even the murderer doesn’t know whodunit! Prizes are up on offer for those who can crack the case as well as for the best character.

Looking for a fun-filled event for your next birthday party? This is super fun and very interactive. Nothing like enjoying a great meal with friends whilst finding yourself being part of a fictitious murder mystery.
