If I don't show up, someone gets sick, etc. can I get a refund?
There are no refunds. Only exchanges.
If we know that you won't be able to make the weekend by 5:00 PM the Wednesday before the weekend, you may exchange your reservations for another date. If you tell us after that deadline, then there is no exchange. We are sorry for this but it has to do with food ordering and our hands are tied at that point.

Can my group sit together?
If you buy a group of tickets at the same time, we will always sit that group together so you don’t need to worry about that. If your group has purchased at different times, pick one name in your group and refer to that when you make your reservations. We’ll get you seated right.

Where are the tickets? Aren’t I going to mailed tickets?
If you purchased your reservations on-line, you should have immediately received a confirmation email (to the email address you used at the time of the purchase) that stated that you will not be mailed tickets. Your name will be on a reservation list and when you check in at the reservation table outside the Empire Mills Room at the Marriott Hotel around 6:35 PM, you will be told what table you are sitting at. No need to bring your confirmation email or anything like that.

Why is it more than $45 per person?
We have to charge a 6% sales tax by law. This is for all patrons regardless of you address or state because the activity is happening within the state of Georgia.

Can I bring my kids? (SHOW IS PG-13 RATING)
Teenagers are fine. If they are younger than 13, find a sitter and give yourself and your spouse a night off! The subject matter and language can be a bit on the adult side and you don't want to be embarrassed.

Where is the room the show is being held?
If you enter the main Marriott Lobby doors, it is up on the landing to the left. If you come in the Houlihans entrance, it will be past that and to your right.

What food is being served?
Please check the "weekend menus" page. All the food is specially prepared for the Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre by the Head Chef of the Marriott.

Can I request other food?
No. The food is pre-ordered so it is set.

But I am a vegetarian. . .
Then make sure that we know that before Wednesday at 5:00 PM of the weekend you are attending.

It is the night or the day before your show. Do you have availability?
Go ahead and give us a call. More than likely we are sold out but we may have had some cancellations. The shows are catered events, so we have already turned "numbers" into the Marriott and rarely can add anyone, but give us a call.

Dress code?
Most patrons feel comfortable with "business casual", but it is up to you. Jeans and a nice shirt is fine. No flip-flops and you certainly don't need to go all out and do the coat and tie route. You may have more fun dressing up as your favorite mystery character, especially if you come with a group!

Do you availability for most dates?
We are taking reservations all the way into September, so book sooner rather than later to make sure you get a seat.

I want a good seat? Where are they?
The Empire Mills Room is an open floor plan. We seat 8-9 people at a table and since there isn't a stage and the actors wander around the tables, all seats are great seats!

I want to sit with my friends. Can I?
If you tell us when you book who you want to sit with, we will arrange that. Other than that, when you get to the show, you will have an assigned table. If you know people and want to switch around, you can.

I don't want a part! Can I just watch?
Yes. We only give out around 15-20 parts depending on the show and you don't have to participate that way if you don't want to.

I want a part!! Can I get one for sure?
For sure? No. Since there are only 15-20 parts and possibly 65 people or more attending each show, we can't guarantee parts. If you don't get one we guess you will just have to come to another show and try again. . .

More to come as they are asked. . .
