[previewyoutube=p-IpcZaeZ4I;full][/previewyoutube] Adventure Events Patch 2.8 brings with it a grand sense of adventure, as we introduce a new type of event to Paper Pirates! When an Adventure Event occurs during your journey, the crew temporarily takes a pitstop, engaging in a mini-adventure.
During an adventure, the crew have the chance to pick and choose which events take place, and multiple events will happen in quick succession. Its an all new way to experience events - and the things that happen on an adventure dont just stay on the adventure, theyre going to affect your game when youre back on the ship too! The Island Adventure The very first Adventure Event is the Island Adventure, where the crew explore an island they discover way out in the seven seas! Together you have enough resources to explore two regions of the island, so pick wisely which bits of the island you want to see each time you visit!
The island has nine regions in total, which means there are nine new fun-filled events for you to experience as part of the Island Adventure. From fishing off the docks to diving for treasure, whichever activities you try out on your trip to the island its sure to shake things up in your game!

As an extra bonus, there are five new achievements relating to the island. Work hard when youre on an adventure, and maybe you will discover a new hat for your efforts!
Dress for Adventure in the Outfit Shop Our resident shopkeeper, Sam Sherbot, is already well acquainted with the island, and has stocked up the Outfit Shop with a whole new range of island-themed goodies for you to browse and purchase using the coins earned for playing Paper Pirates.
Continuing on the theme of dress-up, why not make an explorer outfit for your pirates - or go undercover and try to mingle with the local wildlife! In total, there are over forty new outfit shop items, so theres plenty of new ways for you to customise your pirates. New Outfit Customiser As the number of things Sam Sherbot has on sale grows, weve overhauled the outfit customiser to make it more manageable when you have a large wardrobe for your pirates! The new outfit customiser is visible immediately when connecting to a game, and lets you start customising your pirates look right away. Dont worry - the randomise buttons are still there for those of you who love to leave your look all up to chance!
Additionally, a new option on the outfit customiser lets you save your current outfit to a code, which you can then store and paste into the outfit customiser again to recreate your current look with one simple button press! This gives all pirates a great way to share dress-up tips, store a full range of outfits, or bring your outfit from one persons game to another. If the owner of the game doesnt have all the items in your outfit unlocked yet, theyll get swapped out randomly for something they do have, so you might even uncover some new variations on your outfit that you love! Daily Sales at the Outfit Shop Sam Sherbot has been feeling generous of late, so theyre going to start offering a daily sale in the outfit shop. Each day a few categories from the shop will have a select number of items on sale, sometimes for as much as 75% off! The sales are the same for everyone, so if you see an item thats a total steal, dont forget to let your friends know so they can visit the Outfit Shop and pick it up for their game too!
A Few Other Things

• Weve revisited the Mutiny event to include crew interaction ensuring that the mutiny never feels like a product of bad luck. In the revamped Mutiny event, all players are given an opportunity to vote in secret as to whether they favour the mutiny, or not. If half or more of the crew vote to Mutiny, the captain is thrown overboard, with anyone who voted for the Mutiny having a chance to become a ghost if the captain was a human.
• Weve improved the way events are chosen each day, so you should see events that you see less often appearing more, to help keep every game fresh and unique!
• The timer now has a visual indicator, which shows the number of seconds remaining before times up!
• The Bandana outfit category has been renamed to Headwear to more accurately reflect the type of items in this category.
• Attempting to start the game from a connected device now triggers a short countdown before the game is started. Attempts to start the game can be aborted from the main screen before the timer elapses.

Bug Fixes

• A rare bug which caused pirates to play-in twice is now hopefully resolved.
• Some text in the How to Play Guide for Default Games was accidentally duplicated, and has now been removed.

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! !
