Kids Pirate Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Late one foggy night on the open sea, the helmsman of the ominous pirate ship known as The Black Cloud accidentally steered the vessel into a massive rock. Jolly Flintlocker, the ship’s talented carpenter, examined the damage and estimated that repairing the ship would take at least eight long months.
Soon after the disaster, Cap’n Swashbuckler received exciting news about Captain Bootstrap Bluebeard of the S.S. Treasure Hunter. Bluebeard had grown tired of life on the open sea and planned to abandon his pirate ways to live among the dreaded landlubbers. Before retiring, the legendary captain announced a challenge for the most experienced pirate crews sailing the seas.
Captain Bluebeard has created seven pirate mysteries aboard his vessel. The first crew clever enough to solve them all will earn ownership of the S.S. Treasure Hunter and the legendary treasures hidden within. The crew of The Black Cloud must investigate the clues, complete scavenger hunts, solve Bluebeard’s riddles, and prove they are worthy of claiming the ultimate pirate prize.
