What is this?
Mysteriously Yours... is a professional producer of Interactive Murder Mysteries (plays), and corporate team-building events.
Where can we see one?
We have our own bistro theatre at 2026 Yonge Street, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
We are open to the public, with performances on Friday and Saturday evenings (and select Thursdays). We also have some Wednesday Matinees.
Do you have to have a group to attend?
You can attend as a single, couple, small party, large party, whatever! Small parties will likely join with other guests at a table.
What happens at your mystery evening? How does it work?
(see: 'Mystery Bistro Theatre Format' on Bistro Theatre page)
Do I have to participate or do any acting?
You can sit and watch and be entertained, or you can get involved, question the suspects, keep track of the clues and see if you can figure out "whodunit?". At a certain point you have enough information to solve the mystery. We hand out ballots that you can fill out with your solution. From the correct ballots, at the end of the mystery, we draw a few, and those people win a prize. (usually a Mysteriously Yours... Baseball Cap)
Do you do anything special for Birthdays or Anniversaries?
Yes, we incorporate people celebrating their birthdays or anniversaries into the mystery, put them under suspicion, and embarrass them, sufficiently, that everyone else has a great time. Nothing devastating or humiliating, just good fun. A great way to say congratulations! Please advise us at the time of booking, if someone is celebrating a special event. (We will try to incorporate them, but cannot guarantee it.)
What is the food like?
Fabulous! Not what you'd expect from a dinner theatre. Our Executive Chef creates amazing dishes to tempt your palate. Menus change periodically. (see: Menu page)
"Mysteriously Good Food" - Toronto Star
"At last - a place where the cooking comes close to the calibre of the comedy." - James Chatto - Toronto Life - March, 2002
"Whodunit? And who cooked this excellent chicken? - Robert Cushman - National Post - June, 2002
What is the Dress Code?
"Casual Elegance" (Jacket and tie are not required)
How far in advance should we book?
It's best to book as far in advance as possible. Some shows you can book on the same day. Others are sold out weeks in advance.
How do we make reservations?
Give us a call. We take a charge card to guarantee your reservation. You can then make payment with the card, or cash, on arrival. We have a 2 Day Cancellation Policy. If you need to change or cancel your reservation, please notify us at least 2 days in advance of the performance date, before 5:00 pm. Cancellations made after that time, or in the event of a "no-show", will be charged to your card, at the full amount. Tickets can also be purchased on-line at TicketWeb.ca
Is this suitable for Children/Teens?
Our mysteries are written for adults. There is risqué material and double entendres in our shows, but we don't allow any swearing, and there is nothing you couldn't see on Prime Time TV. We recommend them for 10 year olds and up, and we do not allow children under 6.
How can we give a Mystery Evening as a gift?
Gift Certificates are available and make a novel and exciting gift. Everyone loves receiving them.
What hotels are close?
The closest hotel is the Roehampton Best Western Inn on Mount Pleasant Rd., at Eglinton Ave. It's a little further than you might want to walk. The downtown hotels are only about 10 to 20 minutes away by car, cab or subway. We're 2 blocks north of the Davisville Subway Station. 4 blocks south of Eglinton Avenue. (We don't have any packages with hotels.) You can call Tourism Toronto for hotel information. They can make reservations for you at most of Toronto's hotels. Their number is 1-800-363-1990
