    A sit-down dinner, a grazing table or canapés. Toggle vegetarian swaps if you need them.

  3. 03

    Print the menu

    Print the menu card for the table, so the dish names do the theming for you.

Why timing matters at a murder mystery dinner

The most common hosting mistake is serving the main course in the middle of a big reveal. Plan food around the mystery instead: something to nibble on arrival, the starter once everyone knows their character, the main between scenes and dessert with the accusation.

Keep the cooking simple

  • Choose one dish you can make the day before
  • Serve a grazing course on arrival so nobody waits hungry
  • Let the dish names do the theming
  • Plate dessert ahead so you can watch the reveal
