Mysteriously Yours...Mystery Dinner Theatre

Mysteriously Yours ... Mystery Dinner Theatre is a professional producer of Interactive Murder Mystery (i.e. plays). Ideal for corporate team building, parties, birthdays, anniversaries, or simply a different kind of dinner date with your significant other, Mysteriously Yours (Twitter: @WhodunitTO, Facebook: Mysteriously Yours Mystery Dinner Theatre) is all about providing guests with a fun and engaging evening. As guests, you can either sit and watch and be entertained, or can go as far as writing down clues and questioning suspects! Either way, it's all in good fun. I was invited to Mysteriously Yours last Friday for a dinner and show. I was pretty excited because although I've heard about Mysteriously Yours ... Mystery Dinner Theatre for years, I've never actually been. I also asked my friend Julia to come with me because she's a big Sherlock Holmes fan :)


Celebrating 25 years of interactive murder mystery theatre, Mysteriously Yours is currently playing The Fine Art of Murder - A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

"In the castle of a wealthy Countess, Sherlock Holmes is re-united with his trusted side-kick Dr. John Watson for a thrilling case of murder and deception, when a body is found at the foot of a priceless painting. Can Holmes solve the riddle and crack the case? More importantly, can he solve it in time?"

What made me even more excited about Mysteriously Yours was when I found out that Rossy Earle (@PanCanCooks) is the executive chef there! I love her food and absolutely love, love, LOVE her SupiCucu hot sauces.

Julia and I had a great time at Mysteriously Yours ... Mystery Dinner Theatre. I thought The Fine Art of Murder was well-written, funny and packed with numerous hints and clues, making any one of the characters a possible suspect to the murder. Props to the cast as well...they were awesome! I really liked how they would walk around the theatre, not only during the show but also during breaks, talking to guests and posing for pictures... the entire time in character. Really fun! Last but not least, it's cool how the play incorporated guests that were there to celebrate a special occasion (i.e. birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, etc.) putting them on the spot a.k.a under suspicion for murder too! Fun times indeed at Mysteriously Yours. Bravo!
