Avast me hearties!
Diamond White, a 17th century galleon belonging to Captain Crooke, has just returned from its adventures, laden with precious treasures.
Celebrations, however, have been sadly cut short. When the Captain's wife returned to their room at the Ship's Inn she found her husband had been stabbed through the heart with his very own hook! The hook replaced the Captain's right hand, lost following an accident involving the ship's cannon and a drunken bet ” but that's another story!
It would seem that the late Captain was not as respected as he thought, but then his name was rather apt. The big question is, who hooked the crook??
The Cast:Essential Cast
Magistrate Clues-go ” The official sent to solve the crime
Efficient in his own peculiarly French way, Magistrate Clues-go has an unusual
method of solving crimes ” he involves everyone!
Will Barrow - The Ship's quartermaster.
Combining rugged pirate sex appeal with high morals and big boots ain't easy ” but Will pulls it off a treat! Add a dash of shy honesty and that sums him up perfectly!
Kelly Crooke - Captain Crooke's wife (well, widow now!) and actress.
A true beauty and with talent too! But with talent comes the diva demands ” and there's more than a little bit of the spoilt child syndrome in Kelly!
Beau Tox - Carpenter and surgeon.
With talented hands and a morbid curiosity for human anatomy, Beau's sideline as a surgeon is perfect ” unlike his bedside manner!
Babs Windsor - Owner of The Ship's Inn.
A sassy, intelligent lady, Babs is matured like a fine wine and groomed to perfection.
Del-boy Windsor - Landlord of the ”Ship's Inn'.
A real wheeler-dealer, Del-boy's fingers are in many pies. He's a likeable cockney character, a veritable cheeky chappie! On the downside, He's a little hen-pecked and a hopeless businessman.
Scarlett O'Harem - A lady of the night (or day!).
A walking bill-board for her trade, Scarlett is dressed to make men gasp and women tut. She is the veritable “sex-on-legs”!
Optional Cast:
Guy Faults - Master gunner.
Despite his obsession with weaponry Guy is not an evil man. Well spoken, intelligent and with an elusive air about him, Guy is not a stereo-typical pirate!
Penny Farthing - Debt collector.
Your reputation says you are as hard as ole boots; a lady not to be messed with!
Tom-Tom Norris - The sailing master, aka the ship's navigator.
Being a little rotund, Tom-Tom favours the pirate stripes (vertical of course)! His best friend is a barrel of rum and his cheeks are rosy red from his long love affair with his ”other woman' as he fondly refers to his tipple!
Elizabeth Duck - Female pirate and Captain of the Red Ruby.
A stunning combination of rugged beauty and daring bravery makes Elizabeth very successful!
Ben Dover - Cabin boy.
A pirate is all Ben has ever wanted to be. He's eager, too eager in fact - his enthusiasm is a little over-powering!
Britney Spikes - Barmaid at The Ship's Inn.
Britney is everything a barmaid should be - busty, beautiful and an outrageous flirt! Oh, and her pulling power is fab ” that's pints, not punters!
Never run a large group mystery before? Then don't
panic! Hosting a Large Group Murder Mystery is time consuming, but with
ample preparation and a good cast it is really quite simple and great
fun! In large group games it is impossible to give everyone a part,
instead the mystery involves “cast members” who are fully in the know and act out
the mystery, and the guests act as detectives trying to solve the murder.
Large group games come in several different formats, clue based, cast
based, multi-room, single room, or a mixture of them all. This particular
game requires 7-13 cast, and one large room. It also has an option of a series
of paper clues. Guests will also need paper and pens. This game works best as a
sit down event with 6-12 tables of guests who work as a team, but the game can be
adapted to suit most formats of events. The game contains two options.
Option 1: All clues are provided by cast members.
Option 2: Guests receive questions to ask the suspects (cast members) on paper,
and have to find out the answers to these questions from the cast. To find out more information about Character Based single room games click here Character based mystery games for large groups.
