Here are the upcoming murder mystery dinners around Minneapolis. I'm including events by professional companies and organizations alongside one-shot events by individuals. They're ticketed, and I'm including the prices with any fees I see on their booking pages.
With most events, you can be a passive attendee who just watches the event. Entertainers may interact with you, but they're usually really good about reading a room. If you want to be more of an active participant (which is my favorite way to attend) you're usually encouraged to actively question and engage with the performers.
I'm also including a note about each event, and I'll let you know if I plan to attend myself. I don't organize most of these. The prices are what I've seen, but those sometimes change without notice. Please reach out to the organizer for the specific event if you have any questions.
If you're hosting a murder mystery, even if it's one that doesn't include a meal, let me know. There's a way to submit your own event near the bottom of the page. Just note that I review each of these myself. It sometimes takes me a while to get the information added, and not all submissions are approved.
