A Dead Man's Chest
A Dead Man's Chest is an interactive murder mystery party for 12-16 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
Set in 18th century Caribbean, A Dead Man's Chest takes place on the sleepy island of Santa Oloroso as rival pirate crews race to discover the location of Captain Flint's treasure - and uncover his murderer.

A Dead Man's Chest is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games such as All at Sea and Curse of the Pharaoh. A Dead Man's Chest also shares many of the same features - it has the item cards and the ability cards that those games have. (Item cards are used to represent all sorts of things - from pearls, to pirate cutlasses and of course Captain Flint's treasure. Ability cards, on the other hand, allow the characters to detect secrets find out information about other people.)
A Dead Man's Chest has a number of different plots to keep everyone busy. For example, there is the Governor's daughter to rescue, negotiations with the locals, placting the volcano god - and of course a murder to solve and Captain Flint's treasure to find.
The cast of A Dead Man's Chest includes:- Pirates (lots of pirates!)
- The crew of the Fury (who are pirates)
- The crew of the Scurvy Knave (who are also pirates)
- The Governor of Jamaica and his glamourous daughter
- A steadfast Royal Navy captain
- The local indian chief, his daughter and the shaman
- An Spanish nobleman and his valet
- And of course a marooned former pirate - now mad as a brush.
A Dead Man's Chest needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.
A Dead Man's Chest is available from Freeform Games and costs £20. To see how much A Dead Man's Chest costs in other currencies, use the converter.
