There’s a new kind of dinner event happening in Bahrain, and it’s far from ordinary. Every Sunday, The Tavern hosts an interactive murder mystery dinner, where guests take on characters, uncover clues, and solve a crime — all while enjoying a full meal.

Whether you show up solo or book with friends, you’ll join an open table with fellow mystery-lovers. Ahead of the night, you’ll receive your assigned character via text, including details like occupation, personality traits, and possibly even a quirk — something like sneezing every time someone says the word “murder,” or using a specific accent.

 

What to expect when coming to Murder Mystery Dinner

  • The night begins with introductions in character, alongside welcome drinks and appetisers
  • Shortly after, the host enters with breaking news: a murder has occurred, and everyone is now a suspect
  • Clues are shared as the game unfolds, and you’ll have brief moments between courses to explore, examine evidence, and question each other
  • Some guests may be hiding secrets — one of you is the murderer
  • Your mission: stay alert, gather information, and try to solve the crime before dessert is served

If you’re the one hiding in plain sight? You’ll need to throw others off your trail without raising suspicion.
