Your next chapter
starts in person.

Second Story partners with restaurants to host mystery dinners — a whodunit that unfolds course by course at one table. Every item you order from a curated menu unlocks a new clue, and your table of six works together to crack the case before the night ends. Reserve your seat, show up, and see where the evening goes.

Why Second Story

One good evening isn't a friendship.

The mystery gives every table something to talk about. After dinner, the after-party keeps the night going — and you privately choose who you'd like to see again. When the feeling is mutual, we help arrange the Second Chapter, then the Circle that grows out of it.

How pricing works

$25 a dinner. You pick up your tab.

No membership, no tiers. Each night is a flat $25 fee that holds your seat and covers the mystery experience. Food and drinks are yours to order and pay for directly at the table.

The table is waiting.
