Contact details: +1 403-703-5337
Smoking Gun is one of the lesser-known gems on this list, and it’s surprising given the way they provide unique entertainment. Their murder mysteries are immersive, drawing you in like you’re one of the characters.
Audience participation is certainly a must, adding an element that keeps us on our toes at all times. To enhance the excitement of being part of the show, they even ask their audience to dress up based on the theme so you’ll feel like you’re a part of the drama.
For a premium experience, consider opting for the ticket that comes with a three course meal. We highly recommend it for the full and elevated experience.
If you choose the ticket with no meal on the other hand, you can still enjoy the show with snacks and drinks available for purchase at the venue.
Prepare your best delivery of Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney’s iconic line, “Objection!” – because at Smoking Gun the mystery unfolds in front of the audience, making you feel like one of the main characters.
BONUS: Lunchbox Theatre

Address: 115 9 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2P 1J9, Canada
Contact details: +1 403-265-4292
Well, this one’s a bit different, as you’ll see, but it definitely deserves to be mentioned due to its history. The Lunchbox Theatre started providing exciting one-act shows in 1975, making them one of the pioneers of theatre lunches in the city.
Interestingly enough, they don’t serve any meals, though. People are invited to bring their lunch because their shows happen during lunch, hence the company’s name.
For those who are looking for some snacks and drinks, there’s a bar that will open before the show that sells a great selection of treats!
