Throughout all of December, were 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!

Additionally, during Yule Tides, pirates will be able to wear a host of unique hats - there are four seasonal hats available to everyone in voyages started during the event. Once the events over, the hats will disappear from your collection until next year, so be sure to wear them while you can!

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 theyre 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? Thats all part of festive deception!

Advent Bounties

In the countdown to Christmas, the bounty board is celebrating each and every day that passes! Each day from the 1st-24th December, youll receive a special Advent Bounty, with a challenge for you to complete worth a bumper crop of coins! The advent bounties are time-limited, so you have to complete them on the day you get them - but dont worry if you dont, therell be a new one waiting for you tomorrow!

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 Captains Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates with a little festive frivolity, and dont 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! Theyll only join your games during Yule Tides, but each has their own personality and appearance for you to enjoy.

Ahoy shipmates! We be headin’ home with a bounty of gold! But what’s that? The captain’s ghost be hauntin’ the crew and wants his treasure back! Can ye last long enough to make it to shore? Or will ye be throwin’ treasure overboard as a ghost?

Paper Pirates is a social deduction game for 1 to 10 players, so bring along your best crew, see who you can trust, and who’ll be going overboard! Everyone connects to the game with an internet-enabled device, so everyone can play! And once you’ve got your crew together you can set sail on your adventure!

Sailing on Stream?

Crew all stranded ashore? We recommend playing Paper Pirates on your favourite streaming service to play with remote players! Don’t worry if you’re not in the same room; you can use the built-in chat feature. And with audience mode, if you’re streaming for the masses, everyone can jump in and affect how the game plays out!

Who can you trust?!

Every round, the captain will give out orders for their crew. Everyone doing their job gets us closer to shore, but watch out for when something goes wrong; a ghost must be about! And if things are going too well, then what’s to stop the captain being a ghost?

Get Off My Ship!

At the end of each round, you’ll vote for somebody to walk the plank. You want to purge the ghosts, but be careful... every innocent pirate overboard comes back to haunt someone anew!

I’m the Captain Now

When someone goes overboard you could be up for a promotion. The higher your rank, the more likely you are to get haunted and become a target. If you end up as captain, you’ll be the one choosing who gets to take part in each day’s task. Make sure you know who you can trust to get you home!

Packed with Events

Are things going too well? Oops, we’ve hit rocks; a whirlpool has caught us; cue spooky ghostly apparitions! Are we nearly all out of treasure and all hope is lost? Help could come from a message in a bottle; a spy in the crows nest; an exorcism at sea!
Paper Pirates is filled with events to make every journey different!

Custom Pirates

Always pictured yourself with the eyepatch and hook? Get creative with your pirate in the pre-game lobby when getting ready to set sail!

Custom Games

Wanting to mix up your adventure? Customise the game to your liking, starting with more ghosts? More treasure? More events to shake up the action? It could make your journey home plain-sailing, or be a fast-track to the bottom of the ocean!

Hats and Achievements

Fancy the captain’s hat but you’re stuck as the cabin boy? Not to worry, Paper Pirates has over 30 Steam achievements. Each achievement you unlock will earn you a new hat, which can be randomly chosen for your pirate to wear when customising your pirate in the game lobby! !
