Setting the Scene

Ahoy there, mateys!

Life on the high seas is full of sailing, swashbuckling, and searching for sparkling treasure. Cap’n Goldgrin and the crew work together all year long—climbing the rigging, firing the cannons, fixing the ship, and sharing every glittering haul they discover.

And today, the crew is celebrating their biggest, boldest haul of treasure yet!

But after such a spectacular score, something strange starts stirring aboard the ship…

Whispers are spreading. Suspicious stories are surfacing. And somewhere among the crew, a puzzling pirate problem is brewing!

Now the crew must search for clues, sort through suspicious stories, and catch the culprit behind the wrongdoing.

Could it be the first mate who keeps the crew in line who is to blame?
The quartermaster with some curious treasure tallies that don’t add up?
Or a sneaky shipmate with a secret plan for plunder that will be forced to walk the plank?

Only the cleverest crew can collect the clues, question the characters, and uncover the truth.

So steady your sea legs, sharpen your sleuthing skills, and prepare to solve the Mystery Among the Mateys! 🏴‍☠️🔎

SELECT THE PERFECT VERSION AND START PLANNING TODAY ->

SaLCap’n Goldgrin – Captain.
The proud captain of the ship who flashes a huge grin whenever treasure is mentioned — which is almost always. Goldgrin loves giving dramatic pirate speeches about gold, glory, and the thrill of adventure.

Riggin’ Riley – First Mate.
The captain’s right-hand pirate who keeps the crew busy climbing the rigging, tying ropes, and keeping the sails flying high. Riley is always shouting helpful sailing commands across the deck.

Treasure Tally Taylor – Quartermaster.
Keeps careful records of every coin, gem, and treasure chest the crew finds… though the numbers sometimes get a little creative when Taylor does the counting.

One-Eyed Wynn – Lookout.
A mysterious pirate who insists their eyepatch actually improves their “depth perception for spotting treasure.” Wynn spends most of the day scanning the horizon for ships, islands, or anything shiny.

Pegleg Piper – Bosun.
A pirate with a sturdy wooden leg who stomps proudly across the deck. Piper claims the pegleg is faster than a regular leg and definitely makes the loudest pirate stomp on the ship.

Peyton Patch – Powder Monkey.
A pirate who talks to their parrot, Captain Squawks, more than to the rest of the crew. Patch insists the parrot gives excellent sailing advice… even if the crew only hears squawking.

Hook-Hand Harper – Deckhand.
A pirate with a polished hook who says it’s perfect for pulling ropes, opening coconuts, and dramatically pointing toward treasure whenever it’s spotted.

Mapmaker Morgan – Treasure Hunter.
Always sketching new treasure maps and convinced there’s another secret treasure hiding just beyond the next island.

Cannonball Casey – Gunner.

Claims to have survived more shark encounters than any pirate alive and enjoys telling dramatic stories about them to the crew.

Salty Syd – Scalliwag.
The saltiest pirate on the ship who complains about everything — the weather, the food, the sails, and especially when the treasure takes too long to find.

Slow-Sailin’ Sam – Shipmate.
The slowest pirate in the crew — always the last to climb the rigging, the last to grab treasure, and sometimes the last to finish a sentence.

Barnacle Blake – Matey.
The ship fixer who is always patching leaks, tightening ropes, and muttering about how the crew keeps breaking everything on the ship.
