The Game

Murder on The Golden Hinde // 13 - 30 Players

“…we find ourselves adrift upon cursed waters with no port in sight nor solace in the stars. So it falls to all of you and you alone to discover who among this motley crew is a murderer. You must find the one and only sailor with means, motive and opportunity to deliver the Captain to Davy Jones’ Locker…”

In our games, the players are the suspects. Work together - or against each other - to uncover secrets, piece together clues, and solve the crime before the ship's fate is sealed! This game is a stand-alone experience that pairs with cocktails and/or canapés. (We don’t recommend a sit-down meal as you'll need to stay on your toes!)

What to Expect

Characters 

Each player will receive a unique character. Here’s a sneak peak at just a handful of suspects: 

  • Beneath Lady Maria’s refined manners and eloquent words lies a treacherous heart - her loyalty is as fickle as the tide and her ambition knows no bounds.

  • Aster has the countenance of a scholar who bartered with the devil and lost. With an eye for the dark and forbidden, their collection is ladened with cursed trinkets and haunted artefacts.

  • With a booming laugh that’s as loud as the cannon's roar, Scruff is a master of destruction. The crew has learned to give them a wide berth in battle - wherever there’s fire and fury, Scruff’s sure to be at the centre.

Gameplay

Every player will also receive a character guide filled with key information to share and secrets to hide. All guides come with a handy summary on the final page so it’s quick and easy to grab a character and jump straight into the game.

Note: This sample guide contains mild spoilers but does not come anywhere close to revealing the identity of the murderer! You can still play a different character even after you’ve read this guide.
