Midship Detective Agency Disney Cruise Game

We love playing free Disney games, whether its in the parks or on a Disney Cruise. In fact, it’s something we try to include every Disney trip we have. Free fun? Yes, please. Sign us up.  So when we found out that the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy have a free game to play onboard, called the Midship Detective Agency, we knew we had to check it out! Grab your phone, and head to the kiosk to pick up the clues. It’s time to get ready for a little mystery as as you search this Disney Cruise ship to find the criminal at large! 

During our last Disney cruise on the Disney Dream, we noticed a kiosk near our room for the Mid-ship Detective Agency Game. If you’ve ever played Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, the game is slightly similar in how it’s played, but with a different storyline to keep it interesting. You can play the Midship Detective Agency game on the Disney Fantasy Cruise Ship and the Disney Dream too! 

Time to Solve a Crime!

The premise of this Disney Cruise Game is that a crime has been committed on the ship.  You have been hired to help solve it! Using the clue book that is available at the kiosk where you sign up, you will help find clues and determine who committed these dastardly crimes onboard. Our ship has three separate games to choose from, and we actually played two of them. It was for research, of course. At the kiosk, you will take a detective badge, a map, and a pencil. All good detectives need to take good notes, right? You choose which crime you’d like to solve and the screen prompts you from there. 

Start Your Mission

To start head to the Game Kiosk, usually on lower deck. At the kiosk, you will take a detective badge, a map, and a pencil. All good detectives need to take good notes, right? You choose which crime you’d like to solve and the screen prompts you from there. Once you are given the backstory on the crime at the main kiosk, you will be directed to start your mission.

You will go to different sections of the ship(most of them are paintings), stand on the emblem on the floor, hold up your detective card(or badge) and a scene will play for you, giving you clues or valuable information needed to help solve the case. You’ll basically do this until instructed to do something else, or until you’ve solved the crime! 

How Long does it take to play this Game?

According to the directions, you don’t need to visit all of the landmarks or paintings to solve the crime, but we ended up visiting most of them by the time the game was over. Overall, it took us about an hour to complete each case. Give or take more or less time depending on your familiarity with the ship. 

Places You’ll See Along the Way

One of the best parts about the Midship Detective Agency Game are all the fun places you’ll find onboard the ship. In fact the best thing about playing the game is learning the ship. On the Disney Dream you can spot Pepe’s Stateroom Door. Rm 5148 1/2. We love that this door is decorated with Muppets everything! From the Muppets mini golf team flyer to the excursion list. As part of the game you’ll also see interactive paintings come to life with clues, and messages to help you solve the crime.

Midship Detective Agency Cruise Game Review

So there you have it! It’s a pretty simple and straightforward game but we love that it’s free AND we also loved that it helped orient us to the ship a bit. The game will take you all over the Disney Dream or Fantasy ships so navigating all of its levels really did help us get acquainted with the layout. Which is not as easy as you would think, especially on the larger ships!

So if you’re sailing on the Disney Dream or Fantasy try out the Midship Detective Agency, for some extra fun. This was a great game to play for both kids and adults. And we absolutely loved exploring the ship.
