We had so much fun planning, executing and playing the game

My friends and I thought this was an awesome game. I read the other comments that mentioned the game is too long. I disagree. We completed the game, dinner and everything in three hours.

The game was fun! It gave us a reason to dress like wenchs and
pirates and talk the talk.

What really made this game was everyone dressing up and getting into character as pirates! I followed other hosts' suggestions and combined rounds 1 and 2, which made things flow pretty smoothly and quickly. The mystery itself wasn't very easy to follow or figure out, especially after a few swigs of the pirate's rum! The instructions suggest the host know the outcome, but I wanted to play too, so I didn't read any of the clues beforehand. It seemed to work out fine that way. Everyone had a great time and the party seemed to be a success! I'm already looking for my next mystery to host!

The party went really well, however I should have followed the suggestion of the other hosts on combining 2 first rounds - there is just not enough information in the first round. Mystery was good, everybody enjoyed themselves, I think there could have been an improvement on my side- to try to keep rounds on time as we started the game at 7 and finished it at 2:30. At the end of the night we added a treasure hunt - we had played a dice game throughout the night between rounds and whoever won it got the "Map of Blake Beard's Treasure" which we put in the chest and burried in the backyard(three bottles of rum were in it). It was fun finding it at 2:30 am.:) We had painted signs for the house and decorated it as tavern, got other pirates to "purchase" drinks from the bartender Lucy and we had Irish music playing all night....there is a lot of things you could do, it was a blast!

I was one of 3 co-hosts for this party. Everyone loved the
opportunity to play pirates! Fabulous costumes and lots of chances to say "ARRRGH!". What's not to like?
... Was the party a success? Absolutely yes!

Loved the game! Everyone had a blast. The game itself is written well and easy to put together, and probably as much fun to plan as it was to attend!

We used this Pirate theme because we were doing it at the beach! We used 10 people, 4 of us were the only ones that had ever participated in a murder mystery game before. Every one got their game faces on quickly!! It was easy to follow and adlib if you wanted to. We did not know if we wanted to go with a downloadable game, we did not do this before. But we will do this again and again. Thank you for making this so easy and fun.

This was a perfect way to give a party for my 19 year old daughter and her college friends. The planning was so simple and preparing for the party so easy. The guests suprised me by getting more in to their roles that I expected and with the way the game was structured, we had no lulls in the evening. Even the most "Jaded" of her friends commented that it was the best party they had been to even including the ones that did serve alcohol. The clues were great and enough of a challenge to guess the murderer. This was a small group of 11 people. We are going to try the vampire themed murder party at halloween this year. I highly recommend this particular mystery as the parts are fun and varied.

Brilliant fun!
Everybody came in character and we stayed in character all evening - which was scary at times!
Would recommend this site to anyone thinking of entertainment with a difference. We are busy looking for another one now as normal boring dinner parties are now off limits in this household.
