Amsterdam at dusk, where the experience takes place

Amsterdam · Murder Mystery Dinner · 3–3.5 hours

Dinner on the Canal

The case

A canal-house dinner brings together the partners of a family trading firm on the night the books are opened. One of them will not be present for the audit.

How the experience works

  1. 01

    Arrive and take your seat

    You are received at a private or semi-private venue in Amsterdam and given your place at the table.

  2. 02

    The evening begins

    Performers open the story between the first courses, and the table starts asking questions.

  3. 03

    Question the room

    Between courses you interview characters, compare notes and follow the contradictions.

  4. 04

    Name the culprit

    Before the last course, the table makes its accusation and the truth is played out live.

What is included

  • A hosted evening with live performers
  • A dinner menu agreed with the venue in Amsterdam
  • Character briefs and physical evidence at the table
  • A staged finale and reveal
  • Support in English throughout

Organised it from another country
I was booking this from abroad for a group flying in, which usually means chaos. It was not chaos. The venue, the timings and the seating plan were confirmed in writing before I paid anything, and the producer answered on a Sunday.

The actors are the reason to book this
Three of them, in and out of the room between courses, and not one moment of am-dram cringe. The woman playing the widow was extraordinary — she took a stupid question from my brother-in-law and turned it into the clue that cracked the whole thing. Food was better than I expected too.
Joanna W.Family, twelve at the table · June 2025
Worked for a table of people who'd never met
Half the guests were my partner's colleagues and I was bracing for the usual polite silence. Twenty minutes in, everyone was accusing everyone. The structure does the social work for you, which is exactly what I was paying for.
