Murder Mystery Game Synopsis:

Captain Jack Blacksparrow has sent word to the most notorious pirate crews of the Caribbean Sea that he is recruiting buccaneers for a daring journey to uncover the legendary treasures of Parrot Island. Cap’n Jack has summoned the crews to the Pillagin’ Pirate Tavern, a land-lubbin’ watering hole owned by Sir Henry Barburosa, the former leader of the Privateers and one of the most dangerous pirates ever to sail the open sea.

The pirates will gather at the tavern for a night of merriment, taking a welcome break from vile sea grog to enjoy Sir Henry’s finest rum. Unfortunately, many of the potential recruits have depraved histories, dangerous rivalries, and an insatiable hunger for treasure. Sir Henry has vowed to keep the scallywags on their best behavior, but bringing so many notorious swashbucklers together may prove disastrous.

Captain Jack is apprehensive about the gathering, but he knows one thing for certain: someone in the tavern may soon become the wealthiest pirate in the world. Cap’n Jack believes it will be him.

This is where your story begins.

A fantastic idea for a party!

First, if you are throwing this kind of a party, it’s an event. Do yourself a favor and order the package completed! Everything was beautiful and impressive for our guests. Although it is quite a bit more expensive, it was worth the expense. The envelopes are color-coded, everything is glossy and the paper is a card stock, not flimsy paper. The most important piece is that, if you plan to play, some of the essential pieces of information are sealed. I opted not to pay to have the envelopes sealed, but they did automatically seal the essential pieces. The mystery was not spoiled at all for me while stuffing envelopes - if you don’t peek, you won’t ruin the surprise!

Second, I encourage that everyone takes part in the pregame. Two days before the event, everyone was assigned their characters, and I sent them their pregame information. You would not believe the responses. Immediately, everyone was hilariously talking like pirates and it was inclusive of everyone, even the people we did not know as well. It is a great icebreaker, and it gives everybody a small idea of what to expect.

Lastly, it was a great experience. Encourage everyone to think like their character if they were in that situation. It’s a little hard for some people to get into the idea of role-playing, but eventually everyone was on board. The motives became apparent, and I took the recommendation of providing a halo and angel wings for the victim, and it added to the hilarity of the events. Everyone had their own idea of Who the murderer was based off of the information that they had retrieved. It is very well done, and worth the purchase.

At the end, everyone was asking to purchase another one, and they were pulling their phones out to send me money in order to contribute and buy another one. There was an abundance of excitement in the air!

On a final note, my party consisted of 10 adults age 30 and older. As some might assume that this is for teenagers or children, please know that it is absolutely appropriate for adults. In fact, I think it is probably better suited for adults looking for a fun experience to shake things up.

Well executed and a load of fun! Highly recommend!
