In under 48 hours, darkness will cue the beginning of Halloween. But darkness isn’t just for graveyards and goblins. What about eating in the dark? And I mean four-courses-multiple-entrees eating in the dark.

Here’s the back story: A group of foodies recently signed up for a meal through a new Boston supper club called “Mystery Meet.” That’s M-E-E-T. On the second Tuesday of each month, Mystery Meet lets adventurous eaters try new restaurants with total strangers.

The web site makes clear that Mystery Meet isn’t a networking group and isn’t a dating service. Its main guidelines are to get your reservation in quickly — last month’s event sold out in five minutes — and be flexible, because participants don’t find out where they’re eating until 24 hours in advance.

But at this month’s Mystery Meet, diner flexibility was taken to a new level. That’s because no one knew in advance that October’s dinner would include — ready for this? — blindfolds.

Radio Boston crashed that “blind” dinner party and has some audio to prove it.  Tune in today at 3pm for more information. If you miss it, audio will be posted by 5pm.
