🏴‍☠️ BLOOD & BLACK FLAGS

A Pirate Murder Mystery Feast

Friday, August 21st  


Captain Scurvy’s Black Dragon Den

The mead is poured.
The crew is assembled.
And before the night is through… someone will not leave alive.

Join us for an immersive evening of treachery on the high seas at Captain Scurvy’s Black Dragon Den.

This is no stage play watched from afar.

The pirates are among you.
They drink beside you.
They whisper in your ear.
And when murder strikes, you must decide who commands the gallows.

⚓ The Story

A notorious captain has called the crew together to divide the spoils of a recent raid.

But treasure breeds ambition…
Ambition breeds betrayal…
And betrayal demands blood.

Before the shares are settled, a crime is committed.

Was it mutiny? Revenge? Greed?
Or something far more calculated?

You will question suspects.
You will weigh loyalties.
You will cast your accusation before the final course is served.

One table will be crowned Top Sleuth of the Night.

🍽 The Feast

Your $80 ticket includes a hearty pirate buffet feast, featuring:

• Sautéed chicken morsels
• Smoked & sliced pork loin
• Rosemary & garlic baby potatoes
• Fresh salad
• Dessert choices
• Sodas, iced tea, and coffee included

Mead, beer, and wine are available for purchase throughout the evening.

🏴‍☠️ The Format

🍺Doors open at 6:00pm – Show begins at 6:30pm 
⚔️ Performers will mingle among the guests — listen for rumors & rivalries
☠️ A murder will occur
🧭 Audience-led investigation
⚖️ Final accusation and pirate justice

Participation is encouraged but never required.
You may step boldly into the fray — or simply observe the drama unfold.

🎟 Tickets

$80 per person
Limited seating available
Advance purchase required

If our last feasts taught us anything… it’s that seats vanish quickly.

Sharpen thy wits.
Guard thy purse.
Trust no one.

Because on August 21st…
someone sails no more. 🏴‍☠️
