Anyone ever been to one? If you're unfamilar, basically the deal is that over the course of dinner, the guests (who have been sent an identity and background previous to the dinner itself) act out parts and need to determine whodunit. Generally, this is over several courses. Whoever is heading up the event gives clues and whatnot throughout the evening.
Anyway, I have always been intrigued and was thinking it might be a fun thing to attend. I was also recently given a home version that includes invitations with identities and a tape and such, but my house isn't quite done yet so that's not going to happen for a while. Besides, I kinda want to go to a real one before trying to host one at home.
So yeah, ever been to one? Was it stupid and cheesy or pretty cool and something different to do for an evening? I think it sounds neat and different and kinda like being in a play where you get to sit on your *** and eat. I like that.

I have, and it was a lot of fun. But I'm a sucker for mysteries anyway.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
When done right, those can be very entertaining. Well, more entertaining than lint anyway. 
There were some restaurants in my area that used to have Murder Mystery Dinners, but they were actors and you were an independent observer during dinner. I went to three of them with friends but my friends stopped wanting to go with me cause I would write down "who done it" halfway through dinner. I got it right each time. They used to have diners fill out a card and if you were right you were in a drawing for a free dinner.
Sounds fun, you could even have bonus fun if you make it pants free!

These are always funner if the Dinner is the Murder Mystery. Like Rocky Horror.
There's actually a train that runs out of Omaha Nebraska (50 miles from where I live) that does this. I'll see if I can find more info but it sounds fun.
Some friends and I tried having one of those once. It pretty much fell flat. Basically every time someone started trying to act out a part of the "mystery" or whatever, everyone would yell him/her to stop cause they'd already decided that I did it.
Apparently my homocidal tendencies are blatantly obvious to everyone around me.
That said, a well run dinner might be quite fun. I would just have to attend one where no one knew me very well.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I would imagine the amount of fun you have is highly dependent on the other guests and their ability to get into role. I've never been to one myself but, like you, have always thought it would be a good time.
Are you going to be the hot, scantly clad mistress or something to that nature?
