A murder mystery event is a themed event where attendees dress up to match an era or a genre. They will then work together to solve a fictitious murder which occurs during the party or event. This event is often compared to a live-action version of the game Clue! Are you ready for a Murder Mystery Hash Trail, Murder Among the Mateys?

North Carolina has long been known as a haunt for pirates during colonial times. While some of those stories may be exaggerated, sites along the North Carolina coast offer opportunities to learn more about Blackbeard.

We know that Highland Scots were in the Sandhills, but what about pirates? Scottish pirates were often privateers, legally sanctioned to attack enemy ships during wartime. One notable figure was Captain William Kidd, a Scottish privateer turned pirate, who became legendary for his exploits and the persistent rumors of buried treasure. Let’s see what we can find of any pirates in Southern Pines as we investigate this murder.

The Story
After a voyage filled with pillaging and plundering, The Jaded Jewel, a pirate ship captained by Redbeard, an old but dangerous pirate is docked in a cove near Port Royal. As the pirate’s head into town to celebrate their homecoming and spend their gold and goods, a night of turmoil and trouble is sure to transpire.

As the night quickly steers out of control, one guest meets a tragic demise and ends up in Davy Jones' Locker leaving the rest of the party goers to bring the guilty to the gallows.

Is the culprit the profiteering pirate organizing a mutiny? Or, the saucy sea mistress who wanted more than a casual commitment? The perpetrator could be the seafaring merchant desperate to win the love of the governor’s daughter, or possibly a treasure seeking sea person incapable of sharing.

In a harbor village filled with backstabbers and buccaneers looking to get ahead, there is little reward for honesty and a high price to pay for deceit.
