Foul Play Cafe

Foul Play Cafe is located within the Sheraton Uptown Hotel, and is Albuquerque's premier interactive dining experience. The cafe blends a murder mystery play with a four course meal to provide a unique evening out. Shows are Friday and Saturday evenings, doors open at 7:00 PM, performance starts at 7:30 PM. Reservations are required. The price of admission includes the performance and meal. Please visit our reservations page for more details.

The menu changes with each show, but always includes salad, chef's choice of soup, choice of entree (check here for our current menu), and a chef's choice dessert. Tea and coffee are included, cocktails and soda are available during the meal provided by the hotel.

The performance is a four act murder mystery play that occurs between meal courses and happens in and around your table instead of on a stage. Inevitably one of the characters is murdered during the show and it is then up to you to determine who did it and why. Actors remain in character while they serve the food and can be asked for clues and hints, though they may not always be straightforward with their answers. If you guess correctly, you have a chance to win a prize at the end of the evening.

The shows are meant to be fun and entertaining, but hardly serious. Make sure to bring your funny bone along for a good time and you're guaranteed an interesting evening out. Foul play Cafe offers the option of having us come to your location and perform at your event. Standard package does not include us waiting tables, but our actors can still work the room periodically depending on the event format.
