Kidnapped By Pirates Mystery Game

Characters

Characters

The suspects present at the party are:

Christopher Columbus

I am an explorer, colonizer and navigator. The King and Queen of Spain funded my voyages and established me as governor of Hispaniola. But the colonists had complained about my rule, and they had sent an investigator to bring me back and now pirates have kidnapped me.

Captain Blood

I was orphaned as a child and thus had to learn how to fend for myself. When I’m not pirating, I’m usually stealing or robbing people. Because of the cold exterior I’ve had to build over the years, I’ve earned my nickname.

Quartermaster Jack

I am from Britain and I have spent my whole life on various pirate ships. Although I am a thief, I am a kind one and I try to divvy up the bounty as fairly as I can. I am also the one that assigns all the work. I’m the captain’s right-hand man.

Pugwash

I got this nickname because I am a scaredy-cat. I jump at the dark, when I think I’ve seen a mouse, etc. Because I am so afraid, I do not wear a patch over my eye as other pirates do. I’m the boatswain, the one who orders all the supplies and I inspect rigging every morning. [In the male and female version: People don’t know that I am actually a female (I snuck on board a year ago).]

Powder Monkey

It’s my job to bring up the gunpowder from below deck when the cannon crews need it. I do this and other roustabout chores. Sometimes I also help swab the deck. [In the male and female version: People don’t know that I am female. Pugwash and I are sisters and we snuck on board together a year ago. ]

Clegg

I am very good at mathematics. I’m in charge of all the maps and help navigate our course across the oceans. Women love me, as I’m very smooth with words and moves. However, although I am good at mental calculations, I am not very good at practical things that involve my hands. [In the male and female version: I am very good at mathematics. I’m in charge of all the maps and help navigate our course across the oceans. I also impress people with my large vocabulary. However, although I am good at mental calculations, I am not very good at practical things that involve my hands. I am a female, but no one knows this.]

Surgeon Grinandbearit

I was originally kidnapped but I have settled into the pirate lifestyle. Sometimes I have to amputate which is how I got my nickname.

Minstrel Mike

I’m the musician on board so everyone loves me. I try to keep everyone’s spirits up during the seemingly endless days on board. Sometimes I also dance around a bit while I play – after all we all like to party and that’s why we became pirates. [In the male and female version: No one knows I am a female. ]

Cordon Cornbeef

I’m the cook. Sometimes rations run very low so I have to make a little stretch a long way. It isn’t easy. But when we’ve got new supplies from boats we’ve plundered I get to make it a bit more fancy.

Jose

I’m Spanish. I’m new to being a pirate, so “new to the ropes” as they say. It’s more fun than growing corn and I really love learning all there is to learn about sailing and I love being at sea. [In the male and female version: No one knows I am a female.]
