La Cena Criminal

Dinner with a mystery game in which attendees try to solve a murder while they eat, with the option of playing a suspect or an investigator.

La Cena Criminal combines a dinner with an interactive detective play. Attendees follow a murder case, gather clues and come across unexpected twists. Each participant may simply follow the plot from their table or take on a more active role, such as that of a suspect or an investigator.

The format comes from England, where in the early twentieth century murder and mystery games began to be performed by amateur theatre groups. Here the story begins in post-war Paris: at the Louvre, art historian Valérie La Voyante gathers several guests at a reception with champagne and small canapés served by waiters in waistcoats and ties.

The dinner includes dishes prepared by local restaurants. The outing is designed for anyone who wants to combine dining and theatre, in a group or as a couple, and takes place at REX Natura, in Valencia.
