"We did Davy Jones' Locker for Halloween and everybody dressed up super well!!!! We had so much fun playing, this was our first go at a murder mystery night!"
Theda Lee, United States
"We had an absolute blast playing Davy Jones' Locker last night for my 18th birthday party, thanks so much for writing such a well plotted game. There were countless double crossings, attempted murders, restraints, plundering of unconscious bodies, and some very loyal defence of allies! However, some of the characters did become more prominent than they perhaps should have been from their character sheets, with one taking over the ship with the permission of the Captain, as well as possessing all the weapons in the game and all the treasure co-ordinates. I think murder mysteries bring out the megalomania in people!
Just a few tips on decor and music; I bought two large pirate flags to hang on the walls (despite it not actually being a pirate ship…) and also stuck the Tortuga Gazette up around the house. Music wise, we listened to a lot of 'tavern' music from RPGs (there are some good compilations on Youtube), and of course the Pirates of the Caribbean theme! I also had a video of waves lapping a shore on the television which added further atmosphere.
Again, thanks for such an excellent evening."

"We just had our Davy Jones' Locker party last night and it was a BLAST!!! We had never done a freeform style murder dinner, and I doubt our group will go back!! Thanks for writing such a great game!!"
Seth and Jen Deibel, United States
"Davy Jones' Locker was very fun for teenagers!"
Deborah, United States
"Our first freeform, and compared to usual murder mystery games, Davy Jones' Locker worked really well. We had great fun – a mutiny, captain tied up and a nun who failed in a mock fight, collapsed to the floor and was licked 'awake' by the dog! "
Rowan Norrie, United Kingdom
