You are invited to sit at the Captain’s Table for a feast of Cajun delicacies and a discussion on a matter of grave concern! It is October 1905 and you are drifting along the mighty Mississippi on board a luxury paddlewheeler, the Magnolia Queen. The exquisite staterooms, all-night casinos and lively burlesque shows make the Steamboat an exciting place to be. The fun ends abruptly when passenger Benton Thorne IV, a wealthy Louisiana gentleman, is murdered. He is fatally stabbed at midnight on the third day steaming out of New Orleans, after struggling in his upper deck stateroom with an unknown assailant.
Mr. Thorne was traveling on vacation with his gorgeous young wife, Rose, when the tragedy occurred. Over the past two decades, Benton Thorne IV has allowed nothing to stand in his way as he created his multimillion-dollar empire. Thorne’s ruthless mission to rebuild his family's estate back to its original grandeur has left a trail of bitter enemies and broken hearts. Now that he is dead, you are called to the Captain's Table and you are a suspect.
Choose from the character descriptions below!
Captain Jacques/Jackie LeBad
Are the Magnolia Queen’s iron-willed skipper. You learned your trade in the muddy rivers of the Louisiana Bayou and over the years have faced your share of river pirates. You run a clean, well-ordered boat and you are not going to tolerate cold blooded murder.
Candy Barr
you are the burlesque queen of New Orleans’ infamous French Quarter. Your provocative stage shows, and outrageous body songs are the rage along the Mississippi River. You are bold and brassy and go after what you want. It is no secret that you were hoping to be Thorne’s little sugar.
Marty Graw
You are a smooth talking, handsome river gambler and business entrepreneur. There is no poker stake too high or business deal too risky for your taste. Women and gambling are your favorite pastimes, and you pursue both with equal passion.
Rose Thorne
You are Benton’s grieving young widow, a beautiful southern belle and lady of good breeding. You are accustomed to being waited on by a mansion full of servants. You convinced your husband to take this romantic holiday on the Magnolia Queen period now that he is dead, you have no idea what you will do with all his land and all his money.
Ragtime Joe/Jo
You are a piano player from Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Nobody can ‘tickle the ivories’ like you. Your ragtime tunes surely do make people get up and dance period from dusk to dawn you play the piano and from dawn to dusk you dream about owning your own land.
Allie Gator
You are an attractive young lady disguised as a scruffy dock boy. You stowed away on board the Magnolia Queen to catch a ride to your home in Natchez, Mississippi. You brought along a small canvas bag of personal belongings and a pocket full of troubles.
You will receive detailed information about your character once you are registered, including suggested clothing!
