About Mystery Cafe Dinner Theater

Mystery Cafe Dinner Theater is an interactive mystery dinner theater, in which the audience gets involved in solving a mystery while enjoying a four-course dinner. At the end of the evening, each audience member details on their sleuth sheet who they think did it and why... the person with the most correct answer is named the Super Sleuth of the evening and awarded a prize! Special mysteries for kids: a rock-star mystery Who Robbed Robbie?, for girls and mixed groups, and a skateboard story, Trouble for Tommy, for boys and mixed groups. Both plays are presented by a Detective (a professional actress) and everyone in the audience receives a part to read. They look for clues, examine evidence and try to solve the crime. Mystery Cafe Dinner Theater takes place at two locations: Elephant & Castle, 161 Devonshire Street; and Ricardo's Restaurant, 175 North Street.

I have been to many of the Mystery cafe shows. Some are pretty squeaky clean. Depending on the show there can be some innuendos and 'adult themes' but nothing worse than basic cable. Or the nightly news half the time for that matter. Monica Lewinsky ring any bells? There's no outright obscenities... and if the kids get the jokes then they already know more than the jokes will inform them of, y'know?

in Boston's North End was a great show for my whole family including my 8 year old son. The piano player was great, the actors and food, perfect. I would go again.

It looks like you're fine if you go to one of the special shows for kids. The person on the phone should have pointed that out.

I found the Mystery Cafe on this site and decided to take my youth group from my church to a show. I called and told the person I spoke to that I would be bringing 8 13 year olds and made sure that the show was appropriate for the age. He assured me that it was. As soon as we got there and we saw an actress with a barely there nurse's uniform on, I knew that I was misinformed, but decided to stay and see how it went. In the opening of the show, every other remark was a sexual remark. I was appalled! Needless to say, we left as fast as we could! Do not bring your children here!!!!
