Crime Scene Entertainment in Post Falls, Idaho, offers a fully immersive murder mystery experience where guests step into the role of detective or character, solving thrilling cases in a real-life game of Clue. Unlike traditional mystery dinner shows, this interactive event challenges participants to think critically, uncover clues, and engage in unpredictable scenarios. Beyond murder mysteries, the venue—The FunHouse—hosts various community events, including game nights, homeschool activities, and private celebrations.

Founded by Jeni, a former photographer with a passion for storytelling, the business quickly gained popularity after a sold-out 1920s-themed event in 2019. Crime Scene Entertainment adapted and thrived thru the COVID-19 pandemic, and now continues to grow its offerings and community involvement. The company frequently donates to local charities and is now expanding with new themed events and an ambitious five-acre haunted attraction in the works. Whether you're a mystery enthusiast or just looking for a unique night out, Crime Scene Entertainment promises an unforgettable experience.
