This is one of those "Dinner Theater" jobs where everyone
buys tickets, comes in, eats dinner, and gets entertained
by a nice semi-interactive whodunit. The twist here,
however, is that Chinese food is served, and every diner is
presented with a fortune cookie after dinner.
Each fortune cookie
contains a clue to the ensuing locked-
door mystery that is acted out by skilled improvisational
actors. Attendees can choose to withhold the information
on their slip of paper, or share it with others; some
seemingly innocuous fortunes can turn out to have hidden
meanings as the night progresses. Even the fortunes that
actually mean nothing might have a clue hidden in the
lucky numbers.
At the end of the night, everyone gets to feel like they
played an active part in solving the mystery. And since
every person is assigned a clue to use at their own disposal,
no night is exactly the same. Finally, everyone will at least
have a fortune or piece of advice to think about. That's all
that matters, isn't it?

I can also see a derivative version being marketed to
people wanting to have a murder mystery-themed
party. |
