    Great actors, so interactive and funny! Great food but smaller portions, we are again after we left. We enjoyed the level of difficulty. They ensured to involve all of the actors and it seemed maybe less than 3 people from the crowd.

    We dressed up and created aliases.

    Entertainment/show set up: I would preference saying the show I attended leans heavily on comedy with mystery. Think Who's Line is It Anyway with a murder to solve. The show is presented with a constant interactive element. Unknowingly, Actors will be sitting at your table and it's up to the audience to speak with those around them and at other tables to solve the crime. So be prepared to participate to share in the experience rather than being a passive viewer. Different clues will be given to you through a QR code so make sure to have your device charged and ready. The time you have to talk and work on the clues will be given to you as you are served your food. With that being said: Feedback on the show: I was thoroughly entertained and laughing continuously through out the show. The actors were phenomenal especially the detectives. It was like being apart of a comedy detective show. The detectives would interact with the audience which elevated the whole experience. Food: I was nervous about the food since I saw the previous Yelp reviews about the food being awful. The food is catered by the hotel. The food was good! Nothing unique but feel like something that would be served at a wedding (ya know pick fish, chicken, or veggie option). Dessert was delicious as well. And they do accommodate for allergies, my friend is GF and they ensured everything was safe for her to consume (no issues). Summary: Just be prepared that it is more comedy entertainment rather than just mystery. I was confused a bit about how to really engage with the mystery game, but understand better for next time. All in all I would definitely attend again and plan on buying tickets as future gifts.

    This was a fun night away from home. Pure silliness and family fun. Cheesy detectives and nice people. Decent food. A nice area at the Hilton - clean and good service.

We arrived a bit early, so we grabbed a couple of drinks while waiting for the rest of our group. I ordered a double Tito's and cranberry--it was made perfectly and definitely hit the spot. Once we headed inside, it looked like seating was first-come, first-served, but we had opted for the VIP tickets. Having those reserved spots gave us a fantastic view of the stage; I highly recommend going the VIP route if you can! The show itself was top-tier. The openers had great sets that really warmed up the room, and then the "Queen" herself, Kelly Kells, took the stage. It has been a long time since I've laughed that hard! I was so grateful we chose this night to head out. In terms of the venue, everything was clean and well-maintained. The staff was impressive--they were super on top of it and got our food and drink orders out to us quickly despite the crowd. I'd definitely come back for another show!

Front door, bar tender, tour guide etc all so funny and kind which is why we'll be back for a show even though not for this tour. First of all, this is advertised online as a 75 minute tour. So when we ended after 45 minutes I was a bit disappointed to say the least. Barely 45 minutes too as we stopped once for a "photo op in a mural tunnel" and again go tell our own ghost stories to each other. It was also advertised as a funny comedic ghost tour with lots of stories. Our guide tried his best at some jokes about his ex Tammy, which were cute, but really struggled with the ghost aspect. There really weren't any ghost stories. He kept referencing the "broken hearts tour" as if we were going to hear some tortured stories of relationships, but we didn't. Additionally, we signed up for the "Hidden Hauntings Ghost Walk". So I think they've got a little bit too much going on to be well organized enough to coordinate this as a success. The EMFs were a bit gimmicky but what was worse was the fact that it was during the bright daylight? The vibe was strange but again, the staff were so kind so we didn't walk away upset ‍. Tl:dr ghost tour not as advertised but staff were nice enough that I'm sure other things they do are fun.

    Cinemark Dallas XD and IMAX is a movie theater in Dallas with an assortment of theater types from…read moreIMAX Digital, XD (with DBox Seating), and 2D Digital screens with recliners. My review focuses on the different types of seating and the greatness of online ordering. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Theater, Return) Atmosphere - Upon entering, you'll find a huge concession stand in the middle complete with movie candy and snacks to entice you as you make your way to order popcorn. There's an arcade on the right, and another concession stand for ordering more food along with tons of seating. If you order ahead, you can pick up your concessions here (see below for more details). 1 Star. Service - I'm going to focus on the Cinemark app. Who needs Moviefone when I can use the app for everything? I can select a theater, choose a movie, choose my seat, and even order concessions. Seriously, kudos to the Cinemark team, I show up at movie time, pick up my popcorn and concession that I ordered online, and head to my movie. No stress/wait, just time saved. 1 Star. Theater - Not all screens are the same. Here's a breakdown of what to expect: 1. IMAX - It's IMAX Digital - not a full-blown IMAX experience, but still good. The IMAX screen is dedicated to one side. It has its own concession stand, but it's never open. Finally, these are regular seats - no recliners. 2. XD - This is Cinemark's best experience. Huge floor to wall screen with reclining seats. There are also a few DBox seats which are more immersive (and expensive). There are two XD screens at this location. 3. 2D Digital - This is Cinemark's standard screen. They have multiple screens that vary in size, and they all have reclining seats. If you're not sure what experience your movie is showing on, check the website or app. Most blockbuster movies will be shown in IMAX and XD opening weekend, then will move to the smaller 2D Digital screens. Expect to pay about $50 for 2 people and concessions. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. I really like the convenience of selecting a movie and buying it online along with my concessions. I'm also a Movie Club member (check Cinemark for details as pricing varies by location) and buying/refunding tickets and concessions are super easy. 1 Star.

    I was expecting luxury seats for the IMAX. But it was not and the aisle is very tight. If you lean…read moreback, you will hit someone. But you have to, if someone is coming down your row. I didn't expect the loud music but when you are watching the trailers, it is annoying. However, I am looking forward to the loud music with Michael movie!!

First time since they went to scanning QR code for food and drink vs ordering in person or on the sheet of paper. QR code was not easy for us or the other couple we were with. We ordered first and got our drinks last and two separate times . No notification, unless in very small print, that automatic 18% and if you don't close out your tab (not easy) you'll be charged an addition 5%. We sat on the second to back row as we know from the past, the back row does not recline. Our 5 seats in a row did not recline. After the show we talked to the person at the desk and he showed no sympathy or concern for our experience. We asked how we could know what seats in the future do not recline and he said he didn't know . Because there was no concern about our experience, not sure if we will come back again. In addition their bar/ tap room never seems open. When they are the bartenders are fine but just hours not predictable. When a struggling business doesn't care about the customer, why give them return business.
