The year is 1719 and pirates scour the sea like sharks, attacking even the most prominent of ships. Welcome aboard the pirate ship Revenge, the most feared ship on the water – and she is yar! Grisly Meed, the Captain of the Revenge was, until recently, the longest serving captain at her helm. This night, his reign has been stolen from him with a slash of a blade – his own blade – his prized treasure, the Sword of Steggan. Captain Meed has been found dead in his quarters, and his murderer could have only been a member of the crew! Now everyone aboard is a suspect in his murder, and the mutineer must be discovered and face his judgement by Davy Jones himself.
This mystery has murder and is rated 3/5 on the “clean” scale. While there is the mention of one of the suspects being the captain’s personal slave, there are no details given, no mention of sex or drugs and, as with all of our mysteries, no foul language.

Great time! This was our second murder mystery party and it generates huge fanfare each time. The mysteries are set up to be challenging but not overly challenging and its great that everyone can participate without knowing who the killer is beforehand! This company is great to work with and is always accommodating to questions.
The best party – EVER! Shot in the Dark Mysteries made the planning so easy that we could focus on making our basement look like an 80s prom. Our theme was “Chiller Thriller” and we had a blast decorating. Every person that came said they had so much fun and wanted to host their own parties. The idea that no knows who the killer is works so well. Thanks Shot in the Dark Mysteries for providing an easy, fabulous way to have fun with friends!
I love Shot in the Dark mysteries! They made so many of our parties (birthdays, new years, just because!) extra special by getting our friends engaged in solving the crimes! They’re such a great value, and even our friends that aren’t extroverts can get into being a character and sleuthing. I also love that I am able to host and participate in the murder mystery! So much fun!!
