1.Branson Murder Mystery- Branson’s Original #1 Murder Mystery

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,513 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) Our pick

Step into 1898 Branson for a lively dinner theater mystery. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet, make noise with cast-iron guns, and watch the cast perform around your table. You may volunteer as one of 14 suspects, then vote for the villain. Robyn Banks and Sadie Hawkins are among the memorable performers.

“We are so glad we picked this Murder Mystery dinner show! The buffet food was great and the actors were so, so funny! We were laughing and singing along the whole time. We laughed so hard, we had tears in our eyes! A couple of my friends were picked to be audience cast members, what a hoot! The improv was above and beyond. It was a great way to spent an evening in Branson.”

“6 of us attended the show; two 8 year olds and 4 adults. The food was okay, but not memorable. The actual entertainment WAS memorable. I was a little worried it would be a cheesie over the top hillbilly performance. Instead we found it funny, entertaining, and very family friendly. The kids really enjoyed the show. The actors were good and were funny & spontaneous with the "murder suspects". The story line was entertaining and easy to follow. It was a very enjoyable evening. I have already recommended this show to my co-workers.”
