    This is a great idea but poorly executed. I love that the actors have jobs and are mostly passionate about what they do. The food wasn't very good and the service was zero. I had to hunt down waiters several times to request tea, as the website suggests, but not one of them spoke English so they just looked at me blankly. Finally, they figured out that I needed help and got the manager. I asked for tea and the lady next to me asked for butter. He said he'd be right back and never returned. So, we were stuck trying to communicate with the waitress again but got the same result. No, I never did get the tea. I'm not sure how basic the plot is supposed to be but the "suspect" was obvious from the start and there was no real story. I was expecting more effort, I guess. Everyone (except the waiters) were super nice and energetic but this was really overpriced. I understand the struggle in the entertainment field but they should offer Groupon again, even if only a limited amount. Be sure to expect to spend some extra on drinks, otherwise, you're stuck with water since no working there knows about serving the included tea/coffee. In theory, they're different because they force the audience to interact but it's basically telling everyone to get up and ask questions to other tables, which no one is comfortable doing for a lot of reasons. The table across from us was super loud and rude to the point that a lady at ours asked them to be quiet. That made them mad and even more aggressive. Who's going to talk to them now? So, kudos to the producers for the unique setup but we did prefer the traditional play style format. Park on the street nearby or you'll be paying $15+. Unfortunately, my friends hated it so much that they got up and left. I decided to wait it out but things didn't get better. The suspect was the best part of the act (8/27/23) throughout the experience, even if we already knew it was him. Also, we had a fun group at our table to chat with.

    We had a lot of fun. I wish there were microphones. When the actors turn it was very hard to hear. It was funny and entertaining. Dinner was basic banquet food but the veggies were fresh and the chicken pretty good. However the dinner rolls were brought out after the main course was over. There was cream on the table but no coffee was available so a little odd.

    Food was terrible. Meal was dry chicken breast with no flavor, Instant potatoes and mixed veggies. Beers were $7 a bottle. Atmosphere was poor. Boring ballroom. Actors not great.

    I had a great experience! It was everything I expected and more !! I came solo tonight and enjoyed myself. I'm sure with a group it would've been a blast. Solo or not everyone should come atleast once.

    It was a great time. It was funny. They kept you guessing. It was fun going around talking talking to all the different characters. We would definitely do it again.

    Love the show! The food was really good. I had the chicken and it was really moist. The show was fantastic! The actors did a wonderful job! Loved that it was interactive and very numerous.

๐Ÿ‘ Great place to go with friends or family. Lots of fun games including bowling and laser tag. Service is good. There could be waiting time for bowling during weekends. However not more than 10 to 15 mins.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ SOOOO much fun! I had never thrown axes, really, before that. Blade and Timber was a great place for a first experience. The facility is very nice and conducive to axe throwing. The staff, our coach was Brad, was fantastic at teaching us how to properly throw and how to remain safe while doing so......
