Cate's Superb Pirate Murder Mystery Party

For Christmas Eve, Cate ran our Pirates Plunder and Murder mystery game with 10 family members. Cate says:

"It’s become a family tradition to have a murder mystery party on Christmas Eve. This year we bought Pirate Plunder and Mayhem from Maple Mystery Games and it was fantastic.

Menu, decoration and costume suggestions got us started and we got right into the whole thing from there. The downloadable kit was really easy to use. Already planning for next time."

Half the people guessed the murderer.

The costumes were all superb and even Rosa the dog looked suitably "fearsome"!

Cate's Fun Decorations

Cate's talented daughter created a fun and quirky set of tavern rules. We love the credit rules and the "no rum" declaration!

We also love the lost property sign, with the styrofoam craft balls turned into glass eyes with felt tips!

The pirate bar featured cool pineapple glasses and coconut halves and another cool sign. Note the pirate currency and the "Gertie Special":

We love the outdoor sign:

Cate's talented daughter also created a superb sign for Seadog Tavern:

Food and Organisation

Dinner was served between rounds 2 and 3.

Cold parts of the meal were laid out before we started. Prawns, lobster tails, rice salad with corn & pineapple, salted beef (corned beef), ship's biscuits (oatmeal crackers/biscuits).

Hot food - Oysters Kilpatrick, chicken thighs with Caribbean sauce stacked on a spike.

Dessert - rum and coconut muffins, fresh lime sorbet.

The game took approximately 5 hours including food and breaks.
