Throughout January, we’re celebrating with the Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, Soggy Hogmanay! Running from 1st January - 21st January, celebrate the start of the New Year with a festival of glad tidings, and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!
Seasonal Trait: The Resolute
Returning to Soggy Hogmanay is the seasonal trait, The Resolute! Play a trait game during Soggy Hogmanay, and one of the crew may find themselves playing as The Resolute.
The Resolute must make a New Year's Resolution during the first day of the voyage. Their resolution asks them to pledge their allegiance to either the human or the ghost team. Whichever team they pick, they will instantly join - and they won't be able to become a member of the opposite team, no matter what happens, for the entirety of the remainder of the voyage!
Their choice is private to them, so make sure you don't get caught out by a sneaky Resolute pretending to have become a perma-human, when they might actually have just become The Tainted's best friend...
Resolution Bounty
Rumour has spread of a mysterious monster at sea... what could it be? Is it even real? During Soggy Hogmanay, if you scour the seven seas enough, you might catch a glimpse of a very special creature!
Check your bounty board after every voyage, because your time spent at sea might unveil a very special reward for you and your crew. You only have until the end of Soggy Hogmanay to complete the bounty, so make sure you make a new year's resolution to spend more time sailing than ever before!
Limited Time Costumes
During Soggy Hogmanay, Sam Sherbot and Nat O'Bother have some new customisation options available to unlock in the Shop Ship! If you buy a customisation option during Soggy Hogmanay, you can use it all year round - but the items will be disappearing from sale when the event is over, so don’t delay and buy today!

Seasonal Event: The Fastest First Foot
Go on a sailing adventure during Soggy Hogmanay, and each day there is a chance you may encounter the ‘Fastest First Foot’ event, inspired by the Hogmanay tradition of First Footing. As the crew return from an adventure on a deserted treasure island, they race to see who has the honour of first footing the pirate ship. Those pirates who make it back first are granted good fortune for the coming voyage - and will be given a higher rank on the ship accordingly! Have your devices at the ready and press a button as soon as it appears, and any pirate has the chance of seizing the rank of captain!
Hogmanay Celebrations in the Photo Booth
To celebrate the arrival of the new year, there are a small number of limited-time Foils and Backgrounds available in the Photo Booth, in the Captain’s Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates, and share any pics you take!
Soggy Hogmanay Bots
Invite bots into your game during Soggy Hogmanay, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with special New Year’s revellers, out to help you ring in the new year! They’ll only join your games during Soggy Hogmanay, but these bots have their own personalities and appearances for you to enjoy.
Yules Tides Community Bounty & Happy Hannukah!
Yule Tides Community Bounty - Complete!
A huge congratulations to all Paper Pirates' crew for completing the Yule Tides community bounty! For collectively playing 125 games, all pirates can claim a full Penguin outfit - to keep and use all year round! The penguin utilises your primary colour, and even comes with a big bow tie to look extra dapper.
There are only 14 days to claim the Penguin outfit, so make sure you open up Paper Pirates today and claim the bounty before it disappears forever!
Happy Hannukah!
Happy Hanukkah to all pirates celebrating as they sail the seas of Paper Pirates! For the duration of Hanukkah, pirates can wear the Menorah Hat. Each real life day, a new candle will be added and lit, so the hat's appearance will evolve over the course of the festival.
We hope all pirates, whichever festivities they celebrate, have a wonderful festive period and remember to stay safe while sailing the seven seas!
Yule Tides!
Prepare for Merriment and Mischief on the Yule Tides!
Throughout all of December, we’re celebrating, sharing, and gift giving, with the fourth Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, Yule Tides! Running from 1st December - 31st December, celebrate Christmas with a festival of merriment and joy, and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!
Seasonal Trait: The Gift Giver
Returning to Yule Tides for 2022 is the seasonal trait, The Gift Giver! Play a trait game during Yule Tides and one of the pirates may find themselves playing as The Gift Giver.
The Gift Giver is offered a present to gift to a pirate of their choice on every day when they don't play in. There are a range of different gifts, but which one you get to give is random each day! You can only give three gifts on each voyage - and to make things even more tricky, each pirate can only receive a gift once.
Will you get the gifts you need to sail to success? Or will you accidentally end up giving away a victory to the ghosts.
Advent Bounties
During the Christmas season, the bounty board is celebrating each and every day that passes! Each day throughout December, you’ll receive a special Advent Bounty, with a challenge for you to complete! If you complete an advent bounty, you'll be rewarded with a special Paper Pirates Present! There are eleven items for you to discover!
The advent bounties are time-limited, so you have to complete them on the day you get them - but don’t worry if you don’t, there’ll be a new one waiting for you tomorrow!

During Yule Tides, Sam Sherbot and Nat O'Bother have some new customisation options available to unlock in the Shop Ship!

Cracking Crackers
While sailing on the even seas during Yule Tides, you might find the crew getting a little rowdy with all the partying and merriment! Encounter the Cracking Crackers event, and two members of your crew will decide to pull a giant size festive cracker.
Hit the button on your device more times than your opponent to claim the bigger half of the cracker - and save yourself from certain doom, as the loser will be flung overboard from the force of the cracker's explosion! Watch out though, if the losing pirate was a human, the one walking away with the bigger piece will now be a ghost...
Snowball Fight!
Go on a sailing adventure during Yule Tides, and each day there is a chance it may begin to snow giving the crew the opportunity to partake in a little festive fun - a traditional snowball fight! When Snowball Fight is triggered, each member of the crew must choose who to pelt with a snowball.
The pirate who receives the most snowballs will be thrown overboard! Who will you throw your snowball at? When they go overboard, if they’re a human, one of the people who threw the snowball will become a ghost… so choose wisely!
Naughty or Nice?
During your Yule Tides sailing adventures, you may encounter the ‘Naughty or Nice’ event during the event phase of the game. In ‘Naughty or Nice’, one member of the crew must offer a gift to another. Question is - has the receiver been naughty, or nice?
The present-giver must decide, with a host of fun positive outcomes for nice, and some meaner tricks for naughty. When the receiver is given the gift, they can choose whether to open it, or discard it. Do you think your crewmate has sent you something nice, or are they a ghost, hoping to catch you out? That’s all part of festive deception!
Yule Tidings come to the Photo Booth
To celebrate the season, there are a small number of limited-time Foils and Backgrounds available in the Photo Booth, in the Captain’s Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates with a little festive frivolity, and don’t forget to share any pics you take!
Yule Tides Bots
Invite some bots into your game during Yule Tides, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with some particularly festive bots, out to celebrate Christmas! They’ll only join your games during Yule Tides, but each has their own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.
The Festive Feast!
What are you thankful for during the Festive Feast Event?
Through the second half of November, we’re taking some time to be thankful in our most delicious seasonal event, The Festive Feast! Running from 16th November - 30th November, celebrate the harvest season with a festival of feasting and thankfulness and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!
Seasonal Trait: The Quarterback
Our new seasonal trait for The Festive Feast is The Quarterback! The Quarterback is gifted with an exploding football, and knows exactly how many days the football will take to explode.
IMAGE HERE
They may pass the ball to any other pirate, who then has the chance to either pass it on to another pirate or keep hold of it in the pre-event phase of the next football. The Quarterback will always know exactly how many days there are until the football explodes, throwing the pirate currently holding it overboard. Can you trust The Quarterback's timings, or will you find yourself blown up by their lies?
Make a Wish Every Day
Play Paper Pirates during The Festive Feast and you can make a festive wish once per day! Play at least one game, and after your voyage you'll receive a gift from the bounty board!
There are five American football-themed outfit pieces for you to collect from the daily quests, so make sure to play a game of Paper Pirates on five different days before the celebration ends on the 30th November!

Wish on a Wishbone!
Go on a sailing adventure during The Festive Feast, and your crew will have the chance to partake in the time-honoured ritual of wishing on a wishbone. During the Event phase of the game, the Wish on a Wishbone event may activate for the duration of The Festive Feast, offering two randomly chosen pirates the opportunity to wish for an event to occur. Which of the pirates will pull the larger half of the wishbone and have their wishes granted…? That’s all part of the fun of Wish on a Wishbone!
Festive Feast Bots
Invite some bots into your game during The Festive Feast, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with some particularly festive bots, out to celebrate Thanksgiving! They’ll only join your games during The Festive Feast, but each has their own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.
Día de Muertos - Day of the Dead Event!
Honour the Spirits of the Dead during Día de Muertos!
Through early November, we’re honouring the spirits of the dead with our most spiritual seasonal event, Día de Muertos running from 1st November - 14th November!
Seasonal Trait: The Spiritualist
Our new seasonal trait for Día de Muertos is The Spiritualist. On days when The Spiritualist does not play in, they may decorate a sugar skull offering using any pattern of their choice.
The pattern of the offering will then dictate how the spirits decide to reward The Spiritualist. Each different pattern leads to a different event, so the more times you're The Spiritualist and the more attention you pay, the more you can control the response of the spirits!
Make an Offering Every Day
Play Paper Pirates during Día de Muertos and you can make an offering to the spirits once per day! Play a game each day, and after your voyage you'll receive a gift from the bounty board!
There are four candle-themed outfit pieces for you to collect from the daily quests, so make sure to play a game of Paper Pirates four times before the celebration ends on the 14th November!
Limited Time Costumes
During Día de Muertos, Sam Sherbot and Nat O’Bother have some new customisation options available to unlock in the Shop Ship!

Sacred Sugar Skulls
Go on a sailing adventure during Día de Muertos, and your crew will have the chance to decorate an offering to honour the spirits that have passed! Three randomly chosen pirates will each choose a pattern for a region of the sugar skull, and depending on the particular design that's chosen, the spirits will reward you in a different way.
Every pattern will always lead to the same reward, so once you've found a good one if you convince your crew to recreate it, the same reward will happen again!
A Special Spiritual Bot
Invite bots into your game during the Día de Muertos, and you may find one of the regular crew replaced with a special La Catrina-themed bot! She’ll only join your games during the Día de Muertos event, but she has her very own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.
Berserker Update
Channel your rage as The Berseker!
Jump aboard Paper Pirates to explore the Berserker Update, featuring a new trait and some QoL improvements throughout!
New Trait: The Berserker
Our new trait for the Berserker Update is The Berserker!
The Berserker is the master of channelling their rage, but sometimes they just just have to let it all out! Each time The Berserker passes their vote, they will gain an additional one voting power. This keeps increasing each time they pass their vote! When they unleash their rage, their bonus voting power reduces to zero, and it can be built up again.
But beware, lest you be overcome by your rage! If The Berserker's normal voting power plus their bonus voting power is greater than or equal to the vote threshold, they will lose their ability to pass their vote. This means they must throw someone overboard - no questions asked!
Make sure that you manage your rage carefully, lest you accidentally end up throwing a human overboard all on your own and becoming a ghost...
More Animated Votes
We've given the black spots used during a voting a little bit more energy! They've now got a nice animation that makes it clearer how many votes a pirate is casting, and also includes a better visual display of how many votes each pirate cast should a pirate go overboard.
It now feels much more exciting to vote for someone, but be careful who you vote for because you might be making more ghosts on the ship!
Outfit Shop Quality of Life Improvements
Sam Sherbot is always hard at work to help make shopping at the Outfit Shop a dream. They've introduced two new features to help you browse, try on and shop with maximum comfort!
Buy Whole Sets
Complimenting the Buy Whole Outfit button added in 3.5, Sam now advertises whole sets for sale. This might be all the parts to dress up as your favourite animal, or many other costumes where different outfit parts just all work together! Pick a whole outfit, and buy all the pieces in one go using the Buy Whole Outfit button. Spending your hard earn coins has never been so easy!
Try on Hats
Sometimes, to complete the perfect outfit, you need the perfect hat. Sam's giving you the opportunity to browse your hat collection, and you can now try on hats in the Outfit Shop! You have to have unlocked a hat for it to appear in the list, but once you do, you can try it on with all the other outfit parts. It'll also be added to your outfit code, so you can dress a pirate up completely without ever even opening the lobby!
As always, don’t forget that you can join us every Saturday at 8pm BST on Twitch for our weekly dev stream, or pop by our YouTube channel to see Let’s Plays of Paper Pirates, How To videos and more! Or if you’re looking for a crew to set sail with make sure to join our Discord!
Haunted Seas - Halloween Event!
Set Sail on Haunted Seas for Halloween!
Throughout October, celebrate Paper Pirates’ spookiest seasonal event by taking part in the Halloween-themed Haunted Seas event! Running from 1st October - 31st October, a whole host of spooky goings on are waiting for you.
Seasonal Trait: The Werewolf
Our new seasonal trait for Haunted Seas (replacing last year's seasonal trait, The Witch, which is now available all year round) is The Werewolf.
On odd numbered days, when the moon is in its crescent phase, The Werewolf is weakened. Any votes cast by The Werewolf on these days will only have a voting power of one, regardless of their rank on the ship.
However, on even numbered days, when the moon is full, The Werewolf is strengthened! Any votes cast by The Werewolf on these days will have double their usual voting power. Yikes! They might even start throwing people overboard all on their own...
Will you get hunted by The Werewolf?
No Tricks Here, only Treats!
To celebrate Haunted Seas, every day you'll receive a unique Treat bounty task! Complete the task to open a spooky treat, which contains some unique outfit customisation options you can't obtain anywhere else!
There's two outfits, for a combined total of eight items, to collect throughout Haunted Seas. Make sure to complete your tasks every day, and get ready to dress up!
Limited Time Customisation Options
During Haunted Seas, Sam Sherbot and Nat O’Bother have some new customisation options available to unlock in the Shop Ship!

Trick or Treat?
Go on a sailing adventure during the Haunted Seas event, and the Halloween Spirits may appear to one of the crew. During the Event phase of the game, the Trick or Treat? event may activate for the duration of Haunted Seas, offering a randomly chosen pirate a choice. Will they take the easy option and choose a treat, or are they feeling brave and willing to risk a trick?
Haunted Seas Bots
Invite some bots into your game during the Haunted Seas event, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with new, super spooky Halloween-themed bots! They’ll only join your games during the Haunted Seas event, but each has their own dastardly personality and appearance for you to enjoy.
Protection and Peril Update
It's Perilous on the High Seas!
Jump aboard Paper Pirates to explore the Protection and Peril Update, full of new features to spice up your voyages!
New Trait: The Reaper
Our first new trait for the Protection and Peril Update is The Reaper!
Whenever any other pirate goes overboard, The Reaper harvests a soul, collecting them for nefarious deeds. When The Reaper does not play in, they can spend the souls they've harvested to form one of several pacts, influencing the game in a powerful way.
Each voyage, the four pacts The Reaper can enact are chosen randomly, so it's never quite the same twice in a row! Will you use the power of The Reaper for good, or for evil?
New Trait: The Protector
Our second new trait for the Protection and Peril Update is The Protector!
During Day One, The Protector must choose any other pirate to protect. No matter how many votes the protected pirate receives during voting, they will not be thrown overboard. The pirate they choose to protect is a secret until the point at which they would have gone overboard, when the pirate will display a shield and become immune to further votes that round!
On days when they don't play in, The Protector may choose to change which pirate they're protecting. Who will The Protector choose to protect, and will they make sure they change their mind in time?
Empowering the Audience!
Alongside the new traits, we're giving the audience more power! We've added over ten new events, which will only appear when you have an audience watching your game. Each event allows the audience to influence the game in some important way!
When the audience is empowered, they can do things like choose a new captain, turn someone into a ghost, swap two pirate's teams, and much more. Who's watching your game? Do you trust them to help the humans, or are they sneaky ghosties?
You can customise how often an empowered audience event happens in your games, including turning them off completely, in the custom game menu under the Events tab.
Two New Events: Disarray & Equality
We're welcoming two new regular events to Paper Pirates - Disarray and Equality.
When the Disarray event happens, the crew become disoriented and confused, and an ongoing effect triggers which shuffles the order of voting randomly each day! This can really mess with the natural order of voting, so watch carefully who votes first!
When the Equality event happens, the crew commit to equality for all pirates. In terms of voting, this means that all pirates will have the same number of votes! This empowers the stowaway, and weakens the Captain, and can easily change up who votes for who.
Both Disarray and Equality last from when the event triggers until the next time a pirate is voted overboard.
Shop Enhancements
Sam Sherbot and Nat O'Bother have invested in some upgrades for their shops, and added some new features and functionality!
The Outfit Shop has been upgraded with the following new features:
Categories with newly added items now have a 'new' label, and individual items in categories will also tell you that they've recently been added to the shop.
More accurately customise the model in the shop, including options to try on different left and right hands and feet.
Create outfits in the Outfit Shop, and copy the Outfit Code directly from the shop ready for use in the in-game lobby! This also means you can create Outfit Codes using items you haven't bought yourself yet.
Once you've finished dressing up the pirate model in the Outfit Shop, there's a new option to buy all the items you don't own in one go. Customise a whole look, and buy it in one fell swoop for the ultimate convenient shopping experience!
The Ship Shop has been upgraded, and Nat O'Bother will now offer regular sales on their ship parts. The items on sale change once every week, so if you see something on sale that you can't quite afford, there's still time to save up and buy, buy, buy!
More Customisation Options!
Sam Sherbot has been sailing far and wide to bring you the latest pirate fashions! Become a wolf or an elephant, turn your pirate into an orc, and more with a new range of outfit shop items available for purchase!
As always, don’t forget that you can join us every Saturday at 8pm BST on Twitch for our weekly dev stream, or pop by our YouTube channel to see Let’s Plays of Paper Pirates, How To videos and more! Or if you’re looking for a crew to set sail with make sure to join our Discord!
Oktoberfest on the Ocean!
Grab a sausage and celebrate Oktoberfest!
As we see out September, we’re celebrating the ninth Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, Oktoberfest on the Ocean! Running from 18th to 30th September, celebrate the end of the season with a shindig dedicated to pretzels, sausages, chicken dancing and more, with a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!
Seasonal Trait: The Brewmaster
The Brewmaster is here, and they're ready to get the party started! When you have a Brewmaster aboard, they'll be asked to set the vibe of the ship during the first day. Whichever vibe they choose will mix up the Paper Pirates voting rules!
There are a total of four vibes The Brewmaster can pick for the ship:
Aggressive Vibes - Grants each pirate one additional voting power
Chaotic Vibes - Instead of voting from Stowaway to Captain, the crew will vote in a randomised order each day
Determined Vibes - Removes the crew's ability to pass their vote
Energetic Vibes - If nobody has gone overboard after the Captain has voted, a second round of voting begins. Votes from the previous round carry forward!
Whichever vibe they pick will stay in effect for the rest of the voyage. However, each day The Brewmaster doesn't play in, they can choose to change up the vibe, and bring a new mood to the party. How will having The Brewmaster aboard change the way your crew votes people over?
Grab Limited Time Customisation Options
During Oktoberfest on the Ocean, Sam Sherbot and Nat O’Bother have some new customisation options available to unlock in the Shop Ship!

The “Biggest Bratwurst” Event!
Go on a sailing adventure during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and any day when there’s a successful job there is a chance you may encounter the “Biggest Bratwurst” event! The pirates stop for a cook-out, each grabbing a sausage from the grill. Some of the sausages are much bigger than the others though, and everyone knows a pirate needs a full stomach to carry out the most important duties on the ship. The bigger your meal, the higher your rank on the ship! So watch out, if you pull a chipolata, you might end up as Stowaway!
The Biggest Bratwurst event is sure to mix things up amongst the crew, changing who’s next to each other and therefore who’s playing in for different groups of jobs together. Not only that, but if you’re playing a trait game, you might want to be extra careful of who ends up next to The Sensitive!
Oktoberfest on the Ocean Bots
Invite bots into your game during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and you may encounter any of four unique bots! Look out for Chicken Bot, Hans Botmann, Ida Botmann and Bot Dog, all of whom are eager to board your ship and throw you overboard! These bots will only join your games during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, so take the chance to meet them now before they chicken dance away for the rest of the year!
The Pirate Pool Party!
Make a splash with The Pirate Pool Party!
Across June and July, we’re celebrating with the wettest Paper Pirates Seasonal Celebration, The Pirate Pool Party! Running from 24th June to 22nd July, celebrate the warmer weather with a party dedicated to all things poolside, and a whole host of seasonal goodies in Paper Pirates!
Seasonal Traits: The Shark & The Bait
The Shark and The Bait appear as a pair, and one is hunting the other! In any game where The Shark and The Bait appear, The Shark has a unique victory condition. If they're able to get The Bait thrown overboard three times - through events and/or voting - they will automatically and instantly achieve a solo victory!
Is someone behaving suspiciously? A bit too keen to throw someone overboard? Maybe they're The Shark! Is someone claiming to be The Bait? Maybe they just don't want to go overboard and really they're The Cursed? Hmm, tricky times ahead crew...
Party Favours for all the Guests!
Any good party comes with goodies to take home, and Pirate Pool Party is no exception! Play Paper Pirates during the Pirate Pool Party and you'll get a special bounty task each day. Complete the task to open a special party favour, which contains some unique outfit customisation options you can't obtain anywhere else!

Additionally, during The Pirate Pool Party, pirates have access to five unique hats, available to everyone in voyages started during the event. Once the event’s over, the hats will disappear from your collection until next year, so be sure to wear them while you can!
The “Spooky Sandcastles” Event!
Go on a sailing adventure during The Pirate Pool Party, and any day when there’s a failed job there is a chance you may encounter the “Spooky Sandcastles” event. Encountering some mysterious haunted sandcastles, the crew must each choose one of the three to hide amongst! But be wary, for once all pirates have picked a hiding place, the most popular pick will reveal how many of the pirates choosing to hide amongst it was actually a ghost!
Watch out for pirates choosing to hide amongst their peers, or those choosing to go it alone hoping not to be discovered. Whether pirates are jumping in with others or not, there’s bound to be deception around the spooky sandcastles!
Get your Party On in the Photo Booth
To celebrate The Pirate Pool Party, there is one limited-time Background and one limited-time Foil available in the Photo Booth, in the Captain’s Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates, and share any pics you take!
Pirate Pool Party Bots
Invite bots into your game during The Pirate Pool Party, and you may encounter any of three unique bots! Look out for Crabbot, Sandy Botney and Wes Overbot who are all eager to board your ship and throw you overboard! These bots will only join your games during The Pirate Pool Party, so take the chance to meet them now before they swim away for the rest of the year!
