CSI Murder Mystery Show with Riddlesbrood

Solve a Murder Over Craft Beers in Riverside

Kickbacks Jacksonville transforms into a crime scene on Saturday, September 5th at 6:00 PM when Riddlesbrood brings their interactive CSI Murder Mystery Show to the King Street venue. This 90-minute theatrical experience blends professional performing arts with the casual atmosphere of a neighborhood gastropub, creating an unusual Saturday evening option that breaks from typical bar entertainment. Attendees become part of the investigation, examining clues and questioning suspects while enjoying Kickbacks' full menu and drink selection.

What to Expect:
The murder mystery show Jacksonville format puts the audience directly into the action rather than watching from a distance. Riddlesbrood's performers work the room, dropping hints and responding to questions as attendees piece together the crime. The all-ages designation means families can attend the early show, though the bar setting and mystery content typically appeals most to adults. Kickbacks maintains its regular service throughout, so ordering food and drinks won't interrupt the investigation.

Insider Tips:
- Arrive by 5:45 PM to claim a table with good sightlines before the 6:00 PM start
- Tables near the center of the room offer the best interaction with performers moving through the space
- Order food when you arrive since kitchen timing can lag once the show gets rolling and the venue fills
- Take notes on your phone or napkin - the clues come fast and remembering early details matters for solving the case
- Groups of 4-6 work best for comparing theories without losing track of the action
- The show wraps at 7:30 PM, leaving the rest of Saturday night open for exploring Riverside
