Murder Mystery Party Kit Details
The Backstory
Your players have been invited on a pleasure cruise by Captain Michael Von Ammon. The guest list includes a number of the Captain's friends, family members, and business associates, as well as the crew of the Captain's sixty-foot yacht, the Elizabeth May. Everyone is expecting an evening cruise replete with dinner, drinks, and dancing - they aren't expecting foul weather, the murder of someone on board, or a sudden shipwreck on a deserted island in the uncharted Caribbean.
Murder!
This mystery is divided into two primary segments. During the first portion of the evening, Act One, the events take place on the Elizabeth May, Captain Von Ammon's ship, a sixty-foot pleasure cruiser manned by the Captain, the Ship's Engineer (played by the Host/Hostess), and a handful of wait staff. As the evening progresses, a tropical storm rolls in, casting a somewhat ominous pall over the festivities. As the hour grows late, lightning strikes the ship, the lights go out in the cabin, and the partygoers hear a scream and a thud. When the players light candles they will find that someone has taken advantage of the momentary darkness to kill another person on the ship. The mystery is afoot!
The Perfect Crime?
Unfortunately, the partygoers will have no immediate opportunity to determine the identity of the killer; the ship has been struck by lightning, blowing most of the mechanical systems. Worse yet, she is taking on water, and the storm is intensifying. Amidst the crash of the waves and the roar of thunder there can be heard a rending shriek as the hull splinters. The partygoers are tossed about and lose consciousness.
Solving the Mystery
Act Two opens with the characters regaining consciousness on the shore of a small island, amid the wreckage of the ship. Miraculously, everyone has survived (except, of course, the victim, whose body has been lost at sea). It looks like there is enough left of the ship to put together a makeshift raft, and there are enough resources on the island to feed the group for quite a while 'but everyone is nervous at the knowledge that there is undoubtedly a murderer in their midst. Now the players must work together to collect sufficient food and water, build an escape boat from the wreckage of the Elizabeth May and try to identify the murderer!
There are 22 primary suspects in this mystery, however only 10 are required to play the game. The host or hostess will play the role of Drew Henson, the Ship's Engineer. Read the "How To Play" section for more information on how to play an expanded game with more than 22 guests.

Follow these steps to host this mystery:
- Each guest will each assume the role of a particular character
Mystery Parties involve a combination of improvisational acting, storytelling, and creative problem solving. Each guest will play the part of that character throughout the course of the game. Each character has specific personality traits, goals, secrets, and information, all of which are included in the character sheet; a big part of the fun is getting into character and taking on a new, exciting role.
- A mysterious Event will occur
At some point during the party, an Event will occur that will force the players to come together in order to solve a problem or unravel a mystery. Traditionally, the Event in question will be the murder of one of the characters (as played by a guest), but the parties crafted by Playing With Murder often use this basic framework to accommodate different types of Events, thereby ensuring that your guests will be surprised and entertained (even if they are veteran murder mystery party players).
- Solve the mystery!
Your guests will need to use the information that their characters know (as well as additional clues that are provided during the game) to solve the mystery or overcome the problem posed by the Event. Typically this culminates in the guests voting on the identity of the murderer, but again, different parties will have different specific goals. All of our parties also come complete with additional subgames (treasure hunts, unique character goals and special puzzles) that are guaranteed to keep the action intense and your guests motivated and focused.
Expanded Game For Large Groups
If you have extra players, there are two ways that you can accommodate everyone:
- Investigator Role - Additional players have the option of playing the role of "Investigators". In this role the players are not suspects and do not have character backgrounds but can question the suspects and try to solve the mystery along with the other players. Expanded Games include a PDF guide that explains how to use the Investigator role, as well as printable character sheets and name tags for anyone that is playing an Investigator.
- Multiple Groups - It is also possible to break your guests up into groups and play multiple instances of the game at the same time. The game will more or less happen the same way; the host makes announcements and each group moves their game forward simultaneously based on the host's instructions. It's good to have one assistant in each group to answer questions and facilitate gameplay within the group. This method provides a more intimate experience for your guests, who get better acquainted with a smaller group and participate in a more digestible story.
Please contact us if you'd like more information about how to run your party using the Multiple Groups method.
Both the standard and expanded games are included with the purchase of any game kit.

It was well worth the wait. We had a total of 40 people. It was our largest party yet and went off without a hitch. At the beginning we had each character introduce themselves and give some details about theirselves. Even some investigators gave some insight of their “work history”. It really set the mood.
- Dinner was BBQ, mac &cheese, green beans, potatoes and banana pudding.
- We had so much fun decorating for it. We rented drapes to separate the “deck” from the private island. On the deck side, we hung up scene setter that looked like a boat and water. At the beginning of Act II we took down the drape to reveal the island we set up. We even rented a real margarita machine that was a huge hit! I had LED flood lights set up on both sides of the room. During some of the script reading I had people have the led lights flicker to look like lightening.

We did the food token hunt first, and then I put all the shripwreck tokens in envelopes with puzzles in them instead of making them part of the treasure hunt. We could have done without the treasure hunt, if I were to organize it again I would take that part out.
I followed the advice of another reviewer on here to put the best acting friends as the Gambler and Elizabeth Von Ammon, and it made for a lot of fun!
- Some nautical decor for the on-board part (fishing net, “Welcome Aboard” sign, nautical banner), and tropical leaves for the island part

- Instead of a full dinner, we did a large (typical) charcuterie table with a few island/ocean themed items. Shrimp cocktail, pineapple dip, crab dip, coconut almonds.
- We had the second act outside to really play up the island theme. During the murder scene below deck, we covered the windows to make it really feel like you were below deck!

- Pulled pork and tropical drink menu. Guests were asked to bring a tropically-themed side dish or dessert. They brought many different summer salads and we also enjoyed rum-infused coconut cupcakes. My daughter cut a watermelon to look like a shark and put Barbie doll legs in his mouth along with the fruit. We offered Mai tai’s, hurricanes, jellyfish, pink diamonds, and bay breeze drinks along with beer, wine and soda.
- We hosted a backyard tropical beach party (with a twist of course) and we turned most of the hidden pieces that need to be found into “escape room” type games so it was more than just finding a piece of paper. We locked a dry bag and an ammo box with combination locks and the combos needed to be found elsewhere (one was behind a cardboard porthole and the other in a banner of maritime flags. I printed a maritime flag description sign and casually displayed it with other shells and nautical items on my tables. I made strings of nautical flags out of cardstock and the guests needed to figure out the hidden messages in order to open puzzles. My husband cut two logs and drilled out the inside to hide a clue. We made a cruise-ship looking fence in the backyard with stakes and rope. The weapon was two candlesticks glued together - everything was on a budget but had a nice impact. We printed a large poster of the Caribbean Islands and had a hint there, too! We really had a great time!

Game Rating:
We had only close friends attend, around 10 people. Initially I was concerned that there weren't enough cast members but everyone put effort in with their characters and it made the evening an exceptionally fun experience.
The story itself is well-crafted and the game rewards effort.
None of us really enjoyed the scavenger hunt (especially me as the host) and there were certain plot elements (no spoilers) that were predictable. But on the whole it was fantastic and everyone, even those that couldn't or didn't like acting, fully took to it.
Some tips for players of this game:
1) If you run the experience with proper effort, everyone else seems to step up so put the effort in terms of decor, food, audio and getting all your stuff ready as the host and guide of the game.
2) Prep well in advance! Give yourself at least a few weeks. There is a lot to print and arrange and rehearse if you want to make it a kickass experience.
3) Try not to be an idiot like me and handle it all yourself. Make sure you have 'boat staff!'
4) Focus on the dressup! I found that because everyone made the effort to dressup and rehearse (even if they weren't that skilled), it set the mood.
5) Set a good couple of hours aside for the actual game. It runs away with you, especially if you're having a dinner!
6) Get your best acting friends to play Morrison and Lady Von Ammon. They'll make the show.
7) As the host, try to link the character sheets to aspects of your friends' personalities. It creates so much drama in the interactions and end-of-story vote!
Final verdict: 8/10. Would definitely recommend.
