PLOT

Dead Men Drink No Rum

DESCRIPTION
Host your own in-person or virtual murder mystery night with the ultimate pirate-themed game! Perfect for a family night in, a dinner party with friends, or a team-building event for colleagues, this downloadable kit has everything you need for an evening of laughter, intrigue, and swashbuckling fun. Simply download the game materials instantly after purchase, gather your crew, and set sail for a night you won’t forget.

HOW IT WORKS
This is a brand-new version of Dead Men Drink No Rum, redesigned for even more fun and flexibility. The updated format works seamlessly for both in-person and virtual events, with easy-to-follow host instructions, engaging evidence reveals, and interactive character booklets that keep every player involved.
While most of the gameplay is improvised and interactive, there are some short, scripted lines to set the scene and introduce characters - perfect for players who like a little extra guidance at the start. After that, it’s all about using your backstory, hidden objectives, and clues to share (or keep secret) as the mystery unfolds.

MURDER MYSTERY PLOT
The Bouncing Barnacle, a pirate ship, has just docked in Santa Tortuga. Its rambunctious crew meet at the village tavern alongside the colourful locals. But the party is cut short when Pop DeKegg, the tavern keeper, is found drowned with his head in a vat of rum. He’d been holding a treasure map for the pirates — was that why he was murdered? Or was it a local who wanted the riches for themselves? Or did someone mistake Pop for his lookalike cousin, the pirate Captain “Lefty” Loosey?
