Set Sail for Disaster
$39.95

Set Sail for Disaster is suitable for 10 to 15 guests, including the host or hostess (who will play the role of Drew Henson, the Ship's Engineer). The available guests include:

Michael Von Ammon (The Captain): The well-to-do owner of the Elizabeth May, Captain Von Ammon is wealthy, successful, and well respected by all.
Elizabeth Von Ammon (The Captain’s Wife): A society lady of excellent breeding, Mrs. Elizabeth Von Ammon is highly cultured, beautiful, and well mannered. She is happily married to Captain Von Ammon and lives a lifestyle that is envied by many.
Dr. Jessie Parker (The Doctor): Dr. Jessie Parker is a highly regarded plastic surgeon who caters to the wealthy and famous. Why Dr. Parker was invited on this cruise is something of a mystery to the other guests.
Mortimer Stout (The Banker): Mortimer Stout is a financial genius who has a better understanding of accounting than he does of people. He is a longtime business associate of Captain Von Ammon.
Shelly Summers (The Actress): Ms. Shelly Summers is a popular B-movie actress whose keen mind belies her somewhat ditzy demeanor.
Kris Laramie (The Author): Kris Laramie is a best-selling author and critic, known both for a sharp tongue and a love of the bottle.
Jonathon Whipple (The Philanthropist): Jonathon Whipple was once a feared and respected businessman, known for his cutthroat approach. In recent years, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to charity, leading many to believe that he is seeking to atone for some dark secret.
Miss Alexandra Crane (The Debutante): Miss Alexandra Crane has only recently become part of the local social scene. Hailing from an old and powerful East Coast family, she is an impulsive young lady who enjoys horseback riding, dancing, and theater.
Ashley Jones (Boat Staff): Ashley Jones is one of Captain Von Ammon’s hired hands, there to make certain that the ship (and the party) run smoothly.
Jake Morrison (The Gambler): A close friend of the Captain, Mr. Jake Morrison is something of a loveable scoundrel; his greatest pleasures in life are fine wine, fine women, fine cigars, and the lure of the poker table (in no particular order).
Bridget Belle (The Model): Equal parts sugar and spice, Bridget Belle is elegant, trendy, and sharp-tongued. A very successful swimsuit model, Ms. Belle is quite used to men doing whatever she requests.
Kelly McCorvin (Boat Staff): Kelly McCorvin is one of Captain Von Ammon’s hired hands, there to make certain that the ship (and the party) run smoothly.
Lane Garrison (Boat Staff): Lane Garrison is one of Captain Von Ammon’s hired hands, there to make certain that the ship (and the party) run smoothly.
Taylor Sattenworth (Boat Staff): Taylor Sattenworth is one of Captain Von Ammon’s hired hands, there to make certain that the ship (and the party) run smoothly.
Drew Henson (The Ship’s Engineer): (Played by the Host/Hostess) Drew Henson is the engineer of the Elizabeth May, in charge of keeping the yacht sailing smoothly and the crew at their posts. The Engineer doesn’t normally mingle much with the Captain’s friends, preferring to stay below decks with the machinery and the security system.

This was my first time running a mystery party, and it went perfectly. Set Sail for Disaster was a great time for all my guests. Everyone especially enjoyed the scavenger hunt.
