The Ship: Murder Party Server Hosting, Explained

What is The Ship: Murder Party?

New to The Ship?

What is The Ship: Murder Party?

The Ship is a murder mystery multiplayer game set on a series of 1920s art deco cruise ships. The mysterious Mr X hands out free tickets, and on board the guests find the catch: a Hunt. Each player is given a Quarry to kill and must evade their own Hunter in the process. You learn who your Quarry is by talking to people, choose a weapon or a trap, and strike without witnesses, or the security guards come for you. All the while you keep up with hunger, thirst, sleep and hygiene.

Hunt and Be Hunted.

Blend in with the crowd, find your Quarry and stay out of sight of your Hunter.

Money Is the Score.

Kills earn money, your weapon choice changes the reward, and neglected needs cost you.

What is The Ship: Murder Party Server Hosting?

A dedicated server gives your group a ship of its own that stays online when you log off, with no PC left running at home. With us, it installs itself the moment you order. You name it, set a password and a player limit, pick the ship it starts on and its game mode, and tune the Hunt in the config editor: how fast needs grow, how many witnesses it takes for an arrest, time limits, votes and teams. You also pick the CPU, memory and storage it gets.

A Ship That Stays.

Your server keeps running when you log off, so your group can meet any time.

Your Rules.

Set the map, game mode, needs, witnesses, time limits and votes from the panel.

Physgun

Yes. You set the player limit yourself, and you pay for your server's resources, not for player slots.

Yes. You pick the mode your server starts in, from Hunt to Deathmatch, and players can still vote for another one. You can also have the server pick a random mode for each game.

Yes. Your server runs on its own, so the ship stays open for your group without anyone's PC hosting it.

Yes. The server checks for updates every time it starts, so a restart gets the latest version. Your own settings are kept.

Yes. You can set up a backup schedule in the panel, and secure backup storage is included in every Physgun server!

Yes. Your server is part of the Gamebox, so you can switch it to another game your box has the resources for. A switch reinstalls the server, so the panel offers a backup first.

Yes. Every Physgun server is protected from DDoS attacks.

In Chicago in the US and London in the UK. You pick the location when you order.
