Murder in the Wild West: Myrtle Beach Mystery Dinner

Unravel a Wild West mystery while you eat, not watch from a distance.

Murder in the Wild West is a three-hour murder mystery dinner activity in Myrtle Beach where you solve the crime as it unfolds around your table during a four-course meal. A live guide in English leads the action, and the experience includes sweet tea, unsweet tea, pink lemonade, water and coffee. Children from age 3 are welcome, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible.

The experience

Myrtle Beach's murder mystery dinner puts you inside the plot instead of watching it happen. You arrive as a participant in "A Mysterious Wild West," and over the next three hours, clues emerge between courses as the story develops around your table. The four-course meal moves through a Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup, a seasoned half-baked chicken with macaroni and cheese and coleslaw, and an apple pastry with vanilla bean ice cream, with beverages included throughout.

A live guide in English steers the mystery and keeps the action moving, so you're never waiting to understand what's happening next. The pacing is built around the meal itself. Each course arrives as the story advances, tying the food and the plot together. You work through the clues at your own table's pace, which means groups can discuss theories without feeling rushed or held back by the larger room.

The venue is wheelchair accessible throughout, with accessible transportation options nearby and public transit available if you need it. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the activity suits all fitness levels. A full bar with beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails and sodas is available for an additional charge if you want something beyond the included beverages.

What exactly do I do during the murder mystery? Do I solve it on my own or work with my table?

You work through the mystery with the people at your table. Clues emerge as the live guide moves the story forward, and your group discusses and pieces together what happened. The guide keeps the action on track, but the solving happens at your table's pace.

How much of the three hours is spent eating versus following the mystery?

The meal and the mystery run together. Each of the four courses arrives as the story progresses, so you're eating and solving at the same time rather than sitting through a performance and then eating.

What if I don't drink alcohol? Are there other options?

Sweet tea, unsweet tea, pink lemonade, water and coffee are included with your meal. A full bar with mocktails and sodas is also available if you want something beyond the included beverages, for an additional charge.
