Davy Jones' Locker
Davy Jones' Locker is an interactive murder mystery party for 9-11 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
It is 1785, and Abel "Blackheart" Read , the Caribbean's most nefarious pirate, has been captured and hung. Tonight, the Libra, departs from Tortuga on its journey to St. Augustine, Florida. For some of its passengers, this will prove to be a profitable journey. For others, Tortuga may be the last dry land they ever see...

Davy Jones' Locker is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games such as All at Sea and Curse of the Pharaoh. Davy Jones' Locker 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 bibles, to pirate cutlasses and of course the directions to Blackheart's treasure. Ability cards, on the other hand, allow the characters to detect secrets find out information about other people.)
Davy Jones' Locker has a number of different plots to keep everyone busy. For example, there is a gypsy curse, a runaway daughter, wreckers fleeing the wrath of Calico Jack - and of course the mystery of how Blackheart was captured to solve.
The cast of Davy Jones' Locker includes:
- Captain Hargrave: Captain of the Libra – formal, proper and straight-laced.
- Sister Agnes: A nun.
- Jean La Croix: A retired French Naval officer.
- Dirty Dana: An opium dealer.
- Esmerelda: A flamboyant gypsy.
- Rusty Mike: A ruthless bounty-hunter wearing an eye-patch.
- Slippery Pete: A grizzled ex-pirate and seaman.
- Darrell Sims: A plantation manager.
- Saucy Sue: A Tortugan wench.
- Rummy Ike: A sailor.
- Drunken Willie: A Tortugan drunk.
Davy Jones' Locker 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.
