Dinner game
at your venue
A dinner where more happens than just eating. Between courses a story, a voting round or a quiz, in your own restaurant or hall.
What makes a dinner game different
At an ordinary dinner everyone talks to the people next to them, and after the main course the evening tends to flag a little. At a dinner game the whole table has something to talk about. Who was in the library at ten o'clock? Who voted along very quickly just now? Which round was about your own company?
The game follows the rhythm of the dinner. The briefing comes with the aperitif, most of the action happens between courses and the ending is revealed at dessert. Nobody has to get up or prepare anything. Anyone who'd enjoy it can get a small role.
- Game, game hosts and materials from us, food from the venue
- Pace agreed with the kitchen, so the game and the courses don't clash
- From around 8 people, also for large groups, table by table
- Lasts as long as the dinner, usually two and a half to three hours
Four dinner games to choose from
Murder mystery dinner
A story with actors that unfolds between courses. Guests question suspects, gather clues and name the culprit at dessert.
Traitors dinner
A few guests are secretly traitors. Between courses there's a round table where everyone votes on who has to leave. At dessert it turns out who wins the pot.
Dinner quiz
A quiz in rounds, with a different topic for each course. Each table plays as a team, with a quizmaster who hosts the evening and keeps track of the scores.
Casino after dinner
First you eat together, then the gaming tables open with croupiers and chips. A good choice if the dinner can stay relaxed and the game comes afterwards.
From Christmas dinners to birthdays
Companies often choose a dinner game for the Christmas dinner, an anniversary or to round off a conference day. The dinner was already planned, and with a game added it becomes an evening people talk about long afterwards. Even colleagues who rarely see each other are discussing things together within one course.
For groups of friends and families it suits a birthday, a reunion or a hen or stag party. If it's for someone in particular, we're happy to work that person into the story or the quiz questions.
In your restaurant or hall, anywhere in the Netherlands
A dinner game can take place in a restaurant with a private room, a function room, a canteen or at someone's home if the group isn't too big. What matters is that the group sits together and it's quiet enough to listen. An open restaurant with other guests works less well.
We're based in Enschede and play all over the Netherlands. If you don't have a venue yet, we'll help you find a place that suits the group and the game.
The price depends on the game, the group size and the venue. You'll get it after a short enquiry, within 1 working day.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dinner game?
A dinner game is a game played during the meal, spread across the courses. Between the starter, main course and dessert, something keeps happening: an actor walking in, a voting round or a quiz round. The meal carries on as normal, and the game fills the time between courses.
Do you arrange the food too?
The food comes from the restaurant or caterer at your venue. We agree the pace of the game with the kitchen, so a scene doesn't land right in the middle of serving. If you don't have a venue yet, we'll help you look for a restaurant or hall that's suitable for a dinner game.
Which dinner game suits our group?
A murder mystery dinner suits a group that likes a story and enjoys solving puzzles. The Traitors dinner works well for a group that knows each other and enjoys suspecting one another. A dinner quiz is the most accessible: everyone can join in without a role or explanation. Not sure? Tell us a bit about the group and we'll give you our advice.
How many people can take part?
From around eight people for a murder mystery dinner, from twelve for the Traitors dinner and from ten for a dinner quiz. There's hardly any upper limit. With large groups we play table by table and come together at the end for the reveal or the results.
How long does a dinner game take?
About as long as the dinner, usually two and a half to three hours for three courses. The game starts with the briefing at the aperitif and ends at dessert or coffee with the reveal or the prize-giving.
