Jack's Twisted Mansion

$$ American

A theatrical dinner experience that will have everyone on the edge of their seats!

When Jack was a boy, he always dreamed of becoming a clown. His parents, owners of a luxurious mansion in Portland, Maine, well-known for hosting the best dinner parties, begged and pleaded with Jack to take over the family's dinner party tradition. Instead, Jack ran away and joined a circus. This was not just any old circus, Jack joined a troupe of bloodthirsty clowns; although all very talented, they really don't play nice with others. Years later, after the "mysterious disappearance" of Jack's parents, Jack inherited the mansion, and he decided to bring all his new circus friends home to live with him and take over the family's famous dinner party tradition. Except that, now, Jack does it his way. Whatever did happen to Jack's parents? To find out, you will have to meet Jack at his dinner table. Will you be Jack's dinner guest at his new mansion?

Too scary? Not so fast, not everyone at the circus is scary! When Jack is away, the clowns will play. We have many happy clowns and talented performers who come out on Family-Fun Day every Sunday afternoon. Family-Fun Day is for all ages and offers a not-so-scary dining experience for anyone looking for a more upbeat and entertaining experience.

Either Join Jack for a terrifying thriller experience every Thursday – Saturday (All guests MUST be 16 years or older and sign a waiver before joining Jack at his dinner table); or join Jack’s playful friends every Sunday afternoon for fun time at the circus. $18 per person will lock down your reservation. This does not include your food, drinks, or gratuity. Jack loves hosting these dinner parties so much that everyone leaves with a special gift from Jack.

It was cancelled so we have not been able to go yet, therefore I cannot rate the show or food. They said they would reschedule us in a couple of weeks, I hope they stay true to their word!

Made reservations in June for 10 people for Aug 28th. Initial reservations were cancelled. I was told I would be contacted to reschedule, but I had to contact them. New reservations made for Oct 23rd, and those were also cancelled by the establishment less than a week prior. I paid $190 for 10 tickets, and had to coordinate getting 10 people to a dinner, twice. Now, I have not yet heard back to "reschedule" (as they said they would), and I have reached out asking for a refund and no response.

A narrator of the basic story in the beginning would be helpful. However I was late so maybe you did that.

I put the overall experience at 8, because I felt that the description I read gave the impression that it was more of a “murder mystery” kind of thing. We were kind of expecting more of a plot where you had to try and figure out what happened to Jack’s parents. The performances were great, it just felt different than what was described. We had fun and enjoyed it all.

Food is not worth what is charged. Apps are decent and mock tails are great, however the main dishes should be axed all together (this is from multiple people in my party with all different dishes). Please rename dishes as to not disappoint people (such as a funnel cake burger isn’t even close to what it sounds like.) Also- please warn people about flashing lights in the show! Overall the show was fun and different- will most likely return next year but skip the subpar dinner.

The actors were great and talented but me and my fiancé were not served our food until the show was all over. When we were served our food a side handed comment was made about my food choice and then the server had forgotten to check us out and just began cleaning up leaving us sitting waiting there. The entertainment was great, a bit different than advertised, but the food was not worth it for me.

The description was a bit misleading to what the actual show was.. we had read some reviews prior to our reservation so we were a bit prepared. It was overall a good show and was entertaining. I would recommend having more interaction upon walking in and incorporate the ambience of the mansion walk through more. The food was tasty - I ordered the burger and it was cooked perfectly and tasty. The fries were clearly frozen as they came out quite cold and not cooked much beyond the freezer bag they came from. There was no alcohol, a heads up would have been good. Overall it was a fun experience and the actors were enjoyable. A few tweaks would knock this out of the park.

The show was good not at all what I thought it was going to be the staff was all very kind the food was down right awful I got the steak and it was burnt on the out side and raw In the middle clearly a cook who didn’t know what he was doing the potatoes was cold and flavorless and my veggies well let’s just say can veggies get a hold star over the veggies I was served I would go see a show again possibly just not eat anything again the performers all did a good job from what was advertised I was expecting something scary I mean I had to sign a waiver I’m guessing it was in case I got food poisoning but who knows!!

They did a great job theming the venue. They’re a bit unorganized but figuring it out. I think the only place they went wrong was billing this venue as an extreme horror haunt. Had they been more up front that it’s more a twisted circus theatrical dinner performance I think people would have received it better. Good luck to them!

The show was great. The staff was very friendly. Place was a bit too dark for eating. The food was absolutely horrible. Undercooked salmon to the point it was ice cold and not edible. Had to return. My friends dish...everything was cold. Fries, asparagus, salmon. Just absolutely awful. We spent so much to reserve these tickets and for food, for us to have to go elsewhere at 830 pm for more food, cause we were starving when the show ended.
